he Graduating class of 1976. The Spirit ot '76 Seniors. The Bicentennial Seniors. Whatever the label, this was our year. With a finality, we tried to grasp a unity, which had been lacking up until now, to characterize it. We entertained all the Senior activities, customs and chores from having our rings turned 76 times to tossing our tasselsat Graduation. The dazzling job ot leading our Senior class through the awaited and expected paces ot the Senior year fell to Freddie Willie, Mark Fairchild, Mary Aguilar and Pat Bryant, We led the Homecoming activities with gusto. But, by the time of the Senior Talent Show, our enthusiasm seemed turned down, as Senioritis attacks set in. Perhaps the vim and vigor was thinned by the lack of class participation. But some of the blame fell to the red, white and blue exploitations that haunted our class. Any Senior memento could be acquired in these colors to commemorate this special 200th, once in a lifetime date - at a price, of course. lt would have been the last straw if the whispered rumors of starred and striped caps and gowns had been true. Some of the uninvolved channeled their forces into using this year to mature and grow up, At 18, Seniors were adults with school kid labels. We sat at the top and took this time to took back to our shared pasts, and then ahead to the future preparations. Learning and expanding - but still making time to have fun. Maybe the rest of the school thought our class had little in common besides the Senior label, but we knew better. We shared a fierce pride in our school, friends and surroundings. We were staunch supporters of our athletes, the organizations that represented Lanier and the individuals singled out of our class for Valhalla. Few could look back on this Senior year with regret. We filled the year to the bursting point with activities and fun, and made lifetime friends doing it. The feelings on leaving were mixed: apprehension, fear, sadness or even elation. We all realized we may never pass this way again, but we had the time of our lives journeying through our Senior year.
