Senior Recognition Week Senior Recognition Week marks the beginning of the senior class ' s journey toward graduation in the spring and is a time for the class to accept formally the responsibilities of leadership in the school. In the senior assembly, Alice Graves presented the class and its motto Be young, be foolish, be happy! to Miss Fessey, who acknowledged both on behalf of Harpeth Hall. Several class officers elaborated on the motto and its implications. In addition, each senior received her blue and white beanie symbolizing her position in the school. The class closed the assembly by singing its class song. The senior devotional also took place during this week with Lisa Rudolph, class chaplain, speaking on the importance of the giving and the receiving of friendship. In her explanation to the students of what a true friend should be, Lisa offered suggestions to help them become better friends. Senior week was a refreshing way for the Class of 1980 to begin its last year at Harpeth Hall with enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility as well as joy. 1 ' 1 J 1 T 1 1 1 1 ; L 1 : MLX ■ JNk v

Miss Fessey Graduates to Upper School When Middle School Honor Day rolled around last year for the eighth grade class, one extra name was added to the list. The director herself, Miss Polly Fessey, earned her diploma and advanced to the Upper School with a brand new freshman class. However, she did not join the ranks of the average freshman upon arrival; after all, how many freshmen get to be headmistress for a year? Throughout the year as she carried out all her duties and assignments, the students and faculty appreciated her willingness to participate and her open door policy in getting to know all those with whom she came in contact. Her availability to all those with troubles, triumphs, or merely a Hello to share has endeared her to us all in the Upper School this year.

Senior Play Despite term papers, athletics, and the; unexpectedly short time that the seniors had to practice, their senior play was both interesting and amusing. The play opened in the year 2000 with Annis and an elderly Dr. Marney reminiscing about the Class of ' 80. They discover what various individuals have been doing since graduation. Many of their occupations are surprising— ranging from housewives and judges to bartenders and Dallas cowboy cheerleaders! Although the practice schedule was hectic, the class demonstrated enthusiastic involvement as the girls organized their scenes, learned harem dances, and memorized their lines. The seniors of ' 80 seem to have quite a future according to this presentation.
