Senior Week Five days are referred to as Senior Week. After taking in all the educa- tion teachers could feed them, Seniors had their week. A skip day at Roman Nose was a 'sunderful' experience. Fris- be contests, horseshoe games, knock- down- dragout games of volleyball and a fantastic fried chicken dinner provided the ingredients for the 'funnest1 day of the week. Baccalaureate was the first night of the graduation trail. After a few short minutes of guidance from Mrs. Bums and Mr. Hamer, and a stuck record of Pomp and Circumstance, it was on- ward for preparation of Class Night. To be different as they had been all year, Seniors chose Ancient Greece as their theme. Bursting the walls with green and filling the stage with pillars and statues, it provided an airy atmos- phere for the night. Wearing togas, Senior Pres. Phil Nuefeld and STUCO Pres. Kris Ewbank roamed the stage in- troducing speakers and telling jokes. Chris Stewart recalled the past 12 years with the class history. George Barkett amused and embarrassed his class by reading the will which bequeathed the special attributes of the seniors to un- derclassmen. Poetically recalling the year, Van Rusch recited the class poem. Then wearing appropriate costuming and directed by Debbie Boulward the seniors presented their class prophesy. Who will ever forget Presidential can- didates George Barkett and Tere Libby slinging political mud at each other or Kurtis Patee wearing sequins and satin doing his imitation of rock singer Elvis Presley. Hard to top was Curtis Karber as a 'man of the cloth.1 Flashes! Flashes! Flashes! Kodak must have invented graduation to sell film and flashbulbs to proud parents. Marching down the aisle for the last time, avoiding those blinding bursts of white light, the memories began to flashback. Awards, ball games, close friends—thoughts that made this a sad night. Speeches, diplomas, and with the 'flick of a bic' 59 Seniors became alumni of FHS. Traditional to the end, the class entertained their relatives and friends with a reception and then were given a party at the bowling alley. Afterward, impromptu, unsponsored (but also tra- ditional) parties formed at the lake for what everyone knew would be the last time together. Student Life 25
