senior class council The Senior Class of ' 79 displayed their spirit in the overwhelming turnout at the first class council meeting. There enthusiastic planning for senior events began with the September class picnic at Look Park. The main objective of the senior class council was to unite the class through numerous activities; making everyone feel like a part of the class of 1 979. The seniors worked towards this goal with activities such as dances, the carnation sale and delivery, and the newly origi- nated sale of class mugs and T-Shirts. The Over-Sixties Club Dinner was a successful attempt by the class council to unite students with the community. Slave Day, aimed towards involving all four classes, was another senior origi- nated activity to promote unity. The Class of 1979 also displayed their pride in their new status as they excitedly planned the traditional class play, prom, and banquet that lead them to the final step on June 10th. 1.

The Senior Class, a significant section of the Longmeadow High School puzzle itself, can be broken down into many smaller s ctions and pieces that cover var- ious aspects of senior life. During their senior year, members of the class follow three basic lines of activity: completing their high school courses of study, celebrat- ing graduation, and preparing for the years after commencement. The lines are separate, but they all merge in June. In order to earn his diploma, the senior must continue his stud- ies throughout his fourth year. This task becomes increasingly -J fck- difficult to carry out, for the sen- ior often begins to feel separated from the high school environment as his plans for the future unfold. Yet, if this line is neglected, graduation is an impossibility. Senior electives, however, include courses that may deal with sub- jects more relevant to the stu- dent ' s future interests. Therefore, while continuing to fulfill his high school requirements, the senior can begin to pursue knowledge in his prospective career. The mood for senior celebra- tion and festivities, the second line of senior activities, starts early in the year at the Senior Picnic and at class council meetings, where committees are formed to plan the later events. The Senior Class Play comes in the middle of the year, giving the seniors their first taste of the excitement to come. Finally in June, an entire week, Senior Week , is devoted to celebration. The long-awaited banquet, prom, and all-night par- ty finally arrive during this hectic, but thoroughly enjoyable week. Amidst their studying and cele- brating, the seniors must also take part in a third course of action: making plans for after gradu- ation. College Board testing, col- lege applications, and interviews mainly take place during the first half of the year. Those seniors who plan to work after graduation are also busy with vocational training and job applications. By the spring, almost all seniors have a good idea of what they will be doing after high school. All thoughts begin to be directed to- wards the future, and school work becomes less and less of a con- cern. When graduation finally ar- rives, the seniors anxiously accept their diplomas. The three courses of action taken during the past year have merged and intergrated into the completed senior puzzle. Prepared young adults depart from the high school, disconnect- ed enough from the school to have few worries about leaving it. Yet, the memories of their past four years will remain throughout their lives.
