SENIORS 22 SENIOR ADMINISTRATION DAY The underclassmen arrived at school on Wednesday, March 13th, prepared for the unusual . . . Se¬ nior Administration Day had come once more. Under the leadership of Mr. Jackson (Steve Schiff), Mr. Baumgartner (Myles Mendelsohn and Ron Devine), Mr. Cockey (Alan Turovlin) and Mr. Elliot (Karen Jones and Jeff Davis) the new fac¬ ulty members finally realized what it is like to sit on the other side of a teacher’s desk. The hectic day was livened up by a female force of boys’ gym teachers (Barbara Delaune, Rhonda Parrish, Debbie Crandall and Nannette Merrill), a fifty minute laughter attack in Mr. Farkas 5th period Alg. I class (by Sally Hoffmaster) and the new looks of Lee’s janitorial staff (Kristy Gianakaris and Sandi Palmer). The overall opinion of the day was one of praise for the cooperation and organization of the Senior Class. Many of the “student teachers” ac¬ tually attempted to TEACH to the astonishment of the real-life teach¬ ers and the underclassmen. After¬ wards, the Seniors agreed they wouldn’t want to trade places with the faculty — it REALLY was a lot of work. Lee’s new administrators meet for a strategy planning session. Kevin Thompson is entangled in the problems of being Mr. Simmons. Lisa Daughtry and Bill McGeorge team teach Mrs. Lawson ' s biology class.

21 SPAGHETTI DINNER PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR GOOD TIMES, GOOD FOOD, AND GOOD ENTERTAINMENT The Spaghetti Dinner, held on January 24, was a fan¬ tastic financial success, bringing in over $300 for the Senior Class. Tracy Hagen, the class treasurer, was largely responsible for the dinner’s success. She or¬ ganized various committees, including salad makers, cooks, waitresses, and dishwashers. In order to gain publicity for the event, Tracy set up groups of Seniors to dress up “Italian Style” and to sell tickets at Lee and at Key Intermediate. The day of the dinner was full of chaos as students bought innumerable pounds of hamburger and cans of tomato sauce, set up tables, made salads and anxiously awaited the opening hour. Once the doors were open, the cafeteria remained full of happy “patrons.” Lee’s spaghetti lovers will forever remember this event. Ronnie Devine relaxes from his presidential duties to assist Danny Catlett in waiting on tables. Bill Ciccolo takes advantage of his natural Italian charm as he sere¬ nades Sandi Palmer. SENIORS
