LOE be EIDE After four years of high school, seniors finally learned it was helpful to get on the good side of their teachers. Picking up brownie points here and there was trans- formed into an art that certainly could not hurt semester grades, thus influencing college acceptance. Various anonymous seniors revealed their techniques: — You've got to talk on their wavelength. For instance, if it is a biology teacher, discuss a National Geographic you've recently read. Then ask about the family. Find something in common. — For me, it comes naturally. | talk as if | know what I’m talking about. Teachers don’t know any better, and they seem to be impressed. — Act casual with a touch of respect. Seem interested; they love it. 12 Seniors — Be good and pay attention the first two weeks of school. Then approach the teacher meekly with a problem in that particular subject. The teacher (without fail) will crack a joke. At this point it’s crucial to laugh. Thus, a lasting bond is formed and the rest of the year will be no problem. Most seniors found it easy and quite advantageous to befriend their teachers. Although it was discovered that math teachers were the hardest to fool, this did not stop students from trying. “‘It’s strictly fact,’’ commented one senior, “‘it’s diffi- cult sounding good if you don’t under- stand what you’re talking about.”’ As graduation approached, these tech- niques were revised to suit need: term papers, exams, projects, etc. Almost ev- ery senior could be found using one. — Kelly Mewborn — Mike Walker En route to Hampton’s Darling Stadium, Suzy McDan- iel braids Mrs. Betty Dixon’s rat tail. “Getting friendly” with teachers is most valuable to students, whether it is a friendly gesture or just being polite.

AM YOU AFFORD 11? Find a good word to describe the senior class ... BROKE. Broke is what many seniors were 99% of the time. Why this serious lack of funds? Well, it all began at the end of the summer with the $5.00 sitting fee for senior pictures. Several weeks later proofs arrived and students were provided with the choice of pack- ages ranging in price from $32.95 to $154.95 (not exactly low budget). There were senior announcements to be ordered, test fees for SAT’s and, for those students applying to college, ad- mission fees. Senior males were bur- dened with the additional expense of prom. For the most part, they were re- sponsible for paying not only for dinner but also for tickets, tuxedos, and a corsage. 14 Seniors Just when seniors thought they would finally be able to start saving up again, they were hit with the additional expense of purchasing caps and gowns for graduation. With this constant bombardment of costs, it was no wonder that the most commonly asked question was not, “Dad, can | borrow the car?’’ but rather, “Dad, can | borrow some CASH!” Most seniors agreed, however, that the thought of graduating in June made being a senior a worthwhile investment. Lisa Bittner commented, “‘The enjoyment of my senior year far outweighed the cost of tom — Christine Kelly — i Phil Stevens Purchasing caps and gowns is just one of the many expenses faced by seniors. Other costs included prom, senior dues, pictures, graduation announce- ments, and college applications.
