Seniors Becky Kildow and Anita Edmonds express their excitement on receiv mg their letter jackets. Cheerleaders were only one group who wore jackets. Symbols of accomplishment Jackets prove hard work Letter jackets were a symbol of status this past year. The majority of the jackets received were for athletic ability or accomplishment, but also recognized, with the familiar H on the left side of the jacket, were Drama Department, Highsteppers and other clubs and organiza- tions throughout the school. To have a letter jacket meant showing your pride for your school and representing your organization wellf' Senior Liz Robinson said. Some students felt the jackets were given as a 'freward to students who were good at something in particular. Still others felt that they were given to anybody who cared enough to work for one. The letter jackets were in a variety of styles depending on what each organization decided to buy. The students who participated in athletics, Highsteppers, Band and choir were the only ones who did not have to pay for their jackets. The letter jackets acted as a symbol, saying to fellow students and the outside world A'See the accomplishment I made.

Breezing through your last year in high school, having fun and oc- casionally doing homework when you felt like it were also big parts of senioritis. Many students caught senioritis. lt occurred at different times dur- ing their last year. Ronda Smith caught the disease just in time for Orange and Black Day during football season. She was dressed in an orange and black costume resembling a clown suit. When asked why, she said, 'Because l'm a senior and l can be crazy. Another example of senioritis was when Wendie Wright came to school dressed as Howdy Doody for Halloween. During pep rallies Jay Crane, Bobby Bolinger, and a few other varsity basketball players cheered and participated in promoting spirit. t'Since l was a senior, l wanted to make my last year a great one, Jay said. Seniors are usually the most fun and crazy people in a school. They started doing things they had never done before. They started eating in the cafeteria and sitting in the foyer, Seniors Glen- da Frady and Tammie Shelton said. Some seniors tried to get out of their school work. For them, there just wasn't enough time for extra things like homework. But they seemed to make time for things like Highsteppers, cheerleading, football, basketball, and clubs. Seniors could be referred to as the busiest people. lt's no wonder the pressure and frustration often caused the senior nervous breakdownf' l'Why don't they just let us graduate, because I'm not going to do any more work, Senior Shawn Tate said six weeks before school let out. 194 Seniors nib' --.-.4 L. 9 i l . 5, Walking down the hall, Senior Lena Brestner escapes from class.
