Ananta Vongsavath Debbie Wade Dena Walker Renay Walker Cindy Walters Kurt Watkins Scott Watrous Seniors uphold tradition Skip Day participation down The first Friday in May has become known as Senior Skip Day. It is the day when the Senior class of Haltom plans a day at the lake or a day to simply lounge around the house. This year 95 seniors participated in this traditional event. It was one of the largest number of absences in a single day for the year. Mrs. Bar- bara Akers, attendance clerk, claimed skip day as a complete nuisance. Skip Day is a senior tradition which many juniors and sophomores participated in. There were 58 juniors and 62 sophomores. Andrea Dykes, sophomore, said I participated because of the partying and so I could be with a lot of my friends, who are seniors. Most of the seniors who skipped felt it was a day of rest they well deserved. Some seniors who did not skip felt it was a wasted day toward Saturday School. Some teachers scheduled tests on Skip Day to cut down on absences, still others dismissed their classes and did not count the students absent. Mrs. Jacque Slaughter, a faculty member, claimed, Seniors will be seniors just as they have been for years. The number of skippers had diminished over the last few years but the number populating the lakes on this day was up after school was officially dismissed. Senior Skip Day had to be the most fun day of my senior year because I got to be with my friends and have a good time, and know I had gotten away with skipping one last time! Carmen Puma, senior, stated. ig? Mrs. Barbara Akera, attendance clerk, counts out the absentee cards lent in on Skip Day with a look of anticipation for the end of the day. EIS IN O SH U7 Q E.
