SENIORS notes for her minutes; Dick had dollar signs in his eyes from all the money that came rolling in from the candy and magazine sales. Lyndon, as supervisor, and Felix as his assistant, comman¬ deered the whole show when our big project came. We’ll never forget the hammering, hollering, and hanging it took to put Neptune’s kingdom into the gym. Mary Ann and Linda were seeing seaweed in their dreams; Bivins and Jolley were wondering how they could build a shell in one day; Half the class became dungareed angels as they hung the immense “sky” . . . Then we cleared the debris of staples, paint cans, brushes, chewing gum papers, tacks, old rags, wire, and crepe paper to prepare for the NIGHT. But the work was just beginning for Twinkle and Pat and the others on the food committee. They sliced carrots, mixed punch, and spread ham until they couldn’t talk about how tired they were. The Junior-Senior Prom on the actual night was a step into the sea. The strains of Ebb Tide, the theme song, bubbled from a titanic pink and grey shell ... at intermission Wilma was crown¬ ed Miss Elkin High. Winding up the year, we made a daisv chain to present to the Seniors on ... No qualms beset us as we saw our superiors graduate on June 1, 19' When September rolled arou goodbye to college friends, th get-to-gethers, jobs, ten o’clo muda shorts, and mid-afternoo. We slid into the Senior st without incident or accident, lish IV scholars were in an up discovered that one theme a week was a re¬ quirement of them whether they could write or not. The Business English young men and women were dismayed to hear of oral reports, conversation, and dramatizations weekly. The pre-college math boys and three girls found themselves remembering their sophomore alge¬ bra; our Spanish “amigos” were at it again; the future businesswomen were all wrapped up in secretarial practice, bookkeeping, shorthand, and typing. Journalism attracted so many of us that it became necessary to divide it into two periods. The fifth period class set to work on THE ELK with Jeane, Jimmy, and Donald as figureheads; the ANTLER staff were kept on the job by Vicky and Watana; without fail the ANTLER came out once a month.
