When it arrived Senior class officers dedicated time and ef- fort to make the year memorable. Officers were President Rick Beeler, Vice president Mike McTag- gart, Secretary Shirley Shelton, Treasurer Leslie Simon and Representative Ron Cochran. Senior officers worked towards one goal, planning Senior Prom for their classmates. Officers made repeated attempts at finding the perfect band and location for the prom. Finally we decided on the Astro Village Hotel. It's the largest ballroom in Houston, com- mented Shirley. Overall, the class officers saw the senior year as a truly significant one. Even the little things we worked on throughout the year proved to be well worth the time involved, said Cochran.

Social gatherings relieve stress After completing a typical week of tedious homework assignments, grueling exams and maybe a major project or two, a Memorial student tends to search for a means of having a little weekend relaxation. Senior parties provided this break and a good time. It took little or no effort to locate a weekend party. Flyers naming the time and location were often circulated throughout the school a couple of days before the weekend. These notorious parties provided a chance for a little social gathering and a relief from school, said Ron Cochran. Although the parties were organized by the senior spirit groups, they managed to entice students of all grades levels. Many of the party hosts often found their houses and yards up to 200 people. Many students simply cruised the Memorial area on Friday and Satur- nights, hoping to discover that special house or yard overflow- with people. Parking was a pro- and partiers often had to park away. These large gatherings sometimes broken up by local residents because of loud music or il- legal parking. One problem faced by the Seniors every weekend was where to have the parties. The ideal spot that we looked for, said Cochran, was a large house where the parents didn't mind kids being rowdy. Few people wanted to have the radical parties at their houses and yet eventually someone would always volunteer. Each senior party had a theme behind it which provided the type of costume one would wear. A toga par- ty, inspired by the movie, Animal House, was one of the more in- genious themes. With the closing of the football season and disbanding of the Wranglers, the parties tended to get fewer and fewer as the year went on. Yet, whenever there was a senior party to attend, it always managed to provide good weekend entertainment. RU by Dun Booth Senior parties allow students to relax with a break from schoolwork.
