In order to keep the businesses of the Senior Class running smoothly, the officers, members and sponsor must keep in constant touch. Cooperation of officers and members plays an important part in keeping all seniors informed about the business and activities carried on within the council. Mrs. Billie Joyce Rigsby. sponsor, is more than an advisor, she has become part of the council with her dedication and sincerity. With seven years of experience, Mrs. Rigsby guides the officers as a teacher and as a friend to lead the Senior Class to a memorable graduation. President Angie Milstead and vice president Rae Anne Harper work diligently together to coordinate senior activities, but according to Rae Anne, they enjoy every minute of it. Alicia Villanueva, secretary, keeps records of all council meetings, and checks attendence of all members. Money for fund-raising projects, announcement orders, and cap and gown orders is handled and accounted for by treasurer Robin Myers. Together, the four officers make it possible for students to enjoy the year that will forever be remembered-their senior year.

GRADUATION NIGHT Caps and gowns Tassels swirling Tear-filled eyes Hearts swelling Fear of rain Minds seeking Parents proud Speakers speaking Alma Mater Knees shaking Mixed emotions Hands shifting Names called Tears shedding Pictures taken Palms sweating Diplomas given Fate smiling Congratulations Time stealing Poet Laureate of Class U I NO PRIZE Caught up in a whirlwind, the world passing by, I see the hustle bustle and I sigh. Why don't they slow down and see life's joys? Does work and worry make men of boys? How quickly we forget the beauty of a child at play, Or the splender of the setting sun each day, Or the graceful elegance of our flag unfurled. How easy to get caught in the ways of the world. We are in a race which offers no prize To the one who finishes first no matter how he tries The real reward is found along the way, For those who take time to live life each day.
