In Action Successful Activities This year ' s Senior Class meant action! The A stood for adventur- ous. The class attempted several new activities. Black and white pom-pons synonmous with class colors were bought for the senior pep-session and football game. The senior council started a cam- paign for recognizing underclass- men, setting aside appreciation days for them. To add to the excitement of the year, senior week was a huge success! Square Pegs Day start- ed it all off. Students were seen in wild and crazy costumes with the nurdy, preppy, and new wave looks. Many colleges and univer- sities were represented on Col- lege Jersey Day as students wore the jersey ' s of their choice. We were all taken back to the early 70 ' s with afro wigs and Dashee- kies representative of Soul Brother Day. One might have thought they were at Rich ' s Grand White Sale, when seniors walked the halls dressed in white sheets and sandals for Toga Day. It was a kaleidascope of colors on the last day of Senior Week — Stripe, Polka Dot, Plaid Day. Many students participated and enjoyed all the excitement. I panted for action, and was glad when the day, at the close of which we were to start, dawned upon us.

Preparing For A Good Year Many of us felt that it was sum- mer and time to rest our brains! Though school was out, some of us felt differently, and felt that we should continue to increase our knowledge, so we attended summer school. This year sum- mer school was held at our very own Douglass High from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Student took as many classes as they wanted, or as many as they needed, at twenty dollars per course. We can work and by this means we can retrieve all our losses. Frederick Douglass Some of the rules during sum- mer school were a little different because shorts were not allowed and if one was absent too often, one received no credit for the course ' . Inspite of the limitations of staying in line, the meeting of new friends took our minds off of everything. But besides school, others at- tended auxilary camp. For the first time the Flag Corps, Drum Majors, Majorettes and North- starettes attended the same camp. Marching Auxilaries of America at West Georgia College. The activities included. The Skit and Talent Night, Watermelon Feast, in which participants just ate watermelon and tripped out, and Individual Spirit Competi- tion, in which each school com- peted for the Spirit Baton by showing the most spirit. And last but not least, the girls learned new routines which would come in handy during Marching Sea- son. Student Life Summer 159
