SEC upheld responsibilities by working to make the year memorable and set a new trend with a Theme for the year Senior Executive Committee is a group of seniors who work for the Senior class to help set up the prom, select invitations, narrow color and theme selections and organize a program to raise money for the prom, according to Mrs. Thelma Hill, sponsor. One of the first jobs of SEC was to narrow color and theme selections. This was the first year a Senior class had a theme for the year. I think it was a great idea to have a senior theme. That way everything we did was coordinated around it, said Senior Rhonda Sills. The Senior class was responsible for raising funds for their prom. SEC sponsored the per- formance of the rock band O'Siris for the student body. The seniors also sold gift wrapp- ing paper, plushkins fstuffed animalsl and im- age and light catchers. I myself have sold everything suggested to help raise money to make our prom the best, Senior Wendie Wright said. SEC helped choose homecoming decorations and did a large portion of the decorating. The senior section of the decorations was a hot air balloon with the saying Don't Stop Believing. This was in keeping with their theme. Selection of invitations and gowns were also on the agenda for SEC. They chose three types of invitations to submit to the Senior class from nearly one hundred different styles. The gown selection was a little simpler. The only thing SEC had to do was come up with an orange When I got this job I didn't quite expect things to be easy, but I put my time in and found out it was. - Wendie Wright gown to submit along with a traditional black gown. This way seniors had a choice of what gowns they would wear. The final two things that required the atten- tion of SEC were the prom decorations and graduation ceremonies. The prom featured a large hot air balloon and rainbow. Each table had a centerpiece made up of smaller hot air balloons in the colors of ice and royal blue. The graduation ceremonies were set up in the same manner as in previous years. Senior Executive Committee 59 6, i

Christopher Douglas Leadership, character, service and scholarship enable students to enter a society of The cream of the crop An honor to students for their scholastic ability was reaching the goal of acceptance into National Honor Society. In order to do this, students were required to have at least a 3.5 grade point average and maintain it. The National Honor Society was a club After students meet the grade requirements they are voted on by the teachers for their leader- ship, character and service. - Mrs. Alline Payne for those students who strived for that honor. lt's a great honor, but you have to keep your grades up, Wayne Ross, presi- dent, said.

Each NHS member was required to sell ads to help pay for the directory. At graduation the senior members led the processional wearing gold cords. Generally students pay three dollars for the cords, but since they raised enough money selling ads, their cords were free.
