Senior Recognition Day On Senior Recognition Day, the school recognizes the seniors, and the seniors acknowledge their responsibility to the school. Seniors are not really seniors ' til they have their beanies, which they receive on this important occasion. These little caps are as vital a sign of seniority as the privilege of wearing regular clothes the first Friday of every month. This year, as the seniors received their beanies, Jennifer Pennington announced the senior motto of Live, Love, and Laugh; and the entire Senior Class pledged to uphold the honor of the school.

Hamilton, Vice- President Student Council Fall Play Every year, the Student Council ' s fall and spring combos require money raised from many projects. Fund-raising for the spring combo began in November with the production Impromptu, a thought-provoking one-act play. The Student Council co-sponsored this play ' s two production nights, November 18th and 19th, with the Drama Club members. The production of Impromptu revolved around the belief that life should not be acted out. It is neither planned nor predicted, merely a series of improvisations. To emphasize this philosophy, there were no props, production crews, or stage managers. The Forensics Club entered into the production with There Are Men too Gentle to Live Among Wolves, a play including prose interpretations, poetry readings, monologues, and scenes from this year ' s team competitons. Both Impromptu and There Are Men too Gentle to Live Among Wolves provided a unique and individual experience to both the actors and the audience. Last November in its Celebration of Many Lands, the American Field Service once again turned Little Harpeth into a miniature world. In this effort to raise money to help in sponsoring an exchange student, AFS succeeded in raising the school community ' s awareness of other cultures. With posters, maps, music, food, crepe paper (even paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling in the Switzerland room, where one could be fitted with skis), and above all with much hard work and creativity, students transformed classrooms into foreign countries. Guests ate crepes in the France room or steake an ' biskits in the Ireland room across the hall. In the Italy room, Alessandra Dechigi, this year ' s exchange student, supervised the preparation of authentic Italian recipes, while visitors from Colombia added a decidedly Latin American flavor to the room representing their country. Israel and Germany also put in a colorful appearance, as did the not-to-be-forgotten U.S.A. room, where guitar music and red bandana shirts contributed a real down-home atmosphere. The A.F.S. club successfully combined its fund-raising project with an enjoyable cross-cultural experience for many students, parents, and teachers.
