enior activities busy 1967 graduating class After three years of hard work, senior status was finally achieved by the class of '67. Upon reaching this stage, seniors find that many activities are open to them. With the payment of a nominal fee, better known as senior dues, each Senior receives a yearbook, memory record, and a cap and gown for the graduation exercises. Also from this fee comes the money to fi- nance Senior Dinner, Skip Day, Swing Out and the class gift. At the end of February, committees are chosen to organize these events, the class officers begin looking for an impressive class gift, and all Seniors are informed as to the state of their accounts. From the profits made by selling wrapping paper, candy, and Variety Show tickets, some stu- dents are able to completely cover their senior expenses. Seniors going on Washington Trip find many of their afternoons devoted to meet- ings in preparation for the trip. Others fill their time formulating ideas for Swing Out, Skip Day, and Senior Dinner. Marching practice takes up many hours of the last marking period and soon there is only one activity left for the Seniors - graduation. Becky Blazo, Janice Pfister, and Gail Sharpe pre- '.,g :fly pare diligently for the Washington Trip variety show. ii: ' L Gail Sharp, Sue Kilbury, Diana Kennedy, Nancy Theodoroff, Lynne Reinhardt, Nancy Bruce and Valerie Smith practiced often for the Washington Trip variety show. Judy Johnson and Dianne Isherwood, two members of the senior dinner committee headed by Vivian Ross and Jay McAuliffe, begin the long process of setting each and every table.

eniors gain recognition Academically, only the first semester affects the Seniors' future plans. However, it is during this last year that students gain recognition for scholarship and service. lt is the year in which the most coveted awards are presented and it is the time of graduation. Colleges and universities become of major importance as students make application, are interviewed, and receive accept- ance or reiection. The counselors arrange for scores of college representatives to speak to in- terested students. Michigan State University and the University of Michigan send representatives to interview each Seaholm applicant and to inform them of their admission status. Some are recognized as valedictorian, saluta- torian, National Merit semi-finalists, finalists, and Merit Scholars. This year the Piety Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution awarded two senior girls, Claudia Horn and .lan Poplack, with the Good Citizenship Award, the first dual winners in Seaholm's history. The most coveted award is the Marc Joslyn, presented to one senior girl and one senior boy at graduation for outstanding service to class and school. Mr. Art Ball, electrical inspector for Birmingham, explains his iob to Don Peters on Civic Control Day. ce- g . est' I Gowned in the traditional maroon and white, the seniors stand proudly in the gym united for the last time, at the graduation exercises. National Merit semi'finalists gather in the lobby to obtain their certificates of achieve- ment and to discuss future competitions in the scholarship program.
