STUDENT MANAGERS A person must be in mental and physical shape to be a top-notch student manager. As a coaches right-hand man, they must have the ability to fight their way through dirty athletic uniforms, speed to dodge flying footballs and basketballs, tact to handle an athlete ' s fits of rage, and the ability to think clearly in the midst of an intense moment in a game. Student managers add much to the organization of a team by packing trunks, keeping charts, upkeep of uniforms, and above all, give moral support to the team.

They restored The Pit with new coats of paint, paneling, a pop machine, radio, and occasionally, homemade goodies! It was a year of senior pictures, announcements, memory books, graduation caps and class keys. Along with the regular high school activities, being a Senior meant getting mall from all surrounding colleges or trade schools, using up lots of pens on pictures, memory books, etc., spending a lot of money on postage for announcements and thank you notes, filling out college forms, roasting a pig on Sklp Day , taking ACT tests. Baccalaureate Service, graduation, and becoming close to friends in your class you ve grown up with for years. It was all of this and It was the end.
