calendar was issued crammed with activities Many of them we did just ecause they were expected of us as we eld the Senior positions But we articipated in most activities for the fun nd spirit involved. We had a year of long waited fun ahead, and we prepared to use t to its fullest. ln preparation, at the end of our Junior ear we selected our officers, had our newly bought rings turned 76 times and signed away our last high school year on a schedule of electives and the required government. A little of our summer was given up to pose for Senior pictures, then we sat back and waited for Our Year to arrive. The leadership of the school and its spirit was placed in our hands from the start. The Seniors fired up for football games and Powder Puff. We gave our all to the Homecoming Week, transforming the gym into a mass of spirit ready to explode. We took our rightful places in the Senior Section and thronged to the courtyard to display our class yell to onlooking, and awed underclassmen. The Spirit Stick fell in its rightful tradition to our class, just as the Homecoming Oueen, Adrienne Williams, came from our class. We lit the stands with enthusiasm during our final year. We wanted to soak in every detail for our memory scrapbooks. Winter slowed down class participation. Though the Senior Bonfire warmed a unity in the class, a separation followed. Cold weather scattered the people on the Senior benches in search of warmer meeting places. We dragged out of bed at unaccustomed hours Saturday mornings to grind through SAT and ACT tests. The future looked distant, and unconcernedly we turned our backs on it as the excitement of our last basketball season began. Once again staunch supporters - involved and waiting for the year to pick resh and unturned, the Senior year J . t ' . 3 . . . . .. 3 . . . a l Y up. Spring gave us the needed shot in the arm as it exploded into frenzies of activities. We walked the well-trodden path with gusto to prom, senior picnic, senior talent show, cap and gown and invitations to be ordered. As graduation rushed toward us, we telt the dreaded senioritis - when there was time. Baccalaureate suddenly was on us and we felt the first, only and sadly last unity of our class at graduation. Tears mingled with memories and promises to keep in touch. Parting hugs, broken bonds 12 years invested in the future accomplished. WE RAISED HELL, JUST FOR KlCKS, WE WERE THE CLASS OF '76l
