Many changes were made by the new administration that had drastic ef- fects on the seniors. Most of these changes were not taken lightly. The seniors discovered when the school year began in August that the year to follow would be filled with rules and regulations. The work study program that in pre- vious years was handled less than sat- isfactorily was cut completely from the program. Thus, all seniors were forced to attend school a full day, regardless of work opportunities. For the first time, graduation day was set one day after school would be dismissed. The senior trip was a very controver- sial issue. First the administration wouldn't allow the seniors to take a trip during the last week of school (as pre- vious senior classes had done). Then the school board revoked responsibil- ity for the senior trip, upon recommen- dation of Hogan and Ament who felt a senior trip was an unnecessary risk. The school did not cancel the sen- ior’s planned trip to Daytona Beach; but 17 days before the date of the trip the announcement was made that re- voked school responsibility thus re- tracting plans to use a school bus as transportation. Lacking the time or ex- tra money involved to plan an alterna- tive trip, the 17 seniors who held fun- draisers all year long split the money which amounted to nearly $3,000, “We can’t get a break!’’ senior class president Carolyn Lambert said. Never before have the seniors been required Becky and Billy Stovall purchased to take final exams. This year not even straight A students were exempt from finals. I expected at any minute to hear an announcement on the inter- com demanding seniors to report to room 203 for achievement tests.” In an attempt to make up for the “senior rip deal,” the school provided a bus for all interested seniors to at- tend Grad Night at Six Flags on Friday the 13th. (It rained.) Commencement exercises were held on Friday, May 20. Mr. Ron Win- einger, of the State Fair College in Se- dalia, Missouri, addressed the senior class of 1983, advising each person in the auditorium to brush up on listening skills. Signed diplomas were presented to the 34 cap and gowned seniors by Ken Murray, president of the Board of Edu- cation. With the dimming of the lights, the igniting of candles, and the shedding of a few tears, each senior walked for a final time across the unprotected gym floor, while One Little Candle was har- monized by the school choir. The class of 1983 was then nudged from their nest of 13 years, as Miss Hogan put it in her presentation of the class, and encouraged to try their wings in this great world.
