Towering above all other buildings at the Fair, the Sunsphere provided an impressive sight to fair-goers and a panoramic view of Knoxville. An unusual breakfast for Angie Clark was a choco- late eclair chosen from the wide variety of goodies at the pastry shop. Lines to view the exhibits were long but gave Joe Campbell and his friends an opportunity to socialize. Senior Trip-21

Fun As the bus rolled down the streets of Knoxville, Tennessee, the Sunsphere and the World's Fair Holiday Inn were only two of the many sights that the senior class had been waiting to see during their long hours of traveling. Yet, when the sights were seen for the first time through bus windows glis - tened by raindrops, everyone began to won- der if the entire weekend would be dam- pened by rain. The rain stopped, however, by the time they left the bus and got their luggage. By the afternoon of the next day, the sun was shining brightly and continued to for the remainder of the weekend. Everyone used their first night in Knox- ville for unpacking and looking around the motel and gift shop. Some also enjoyed the indoor pool which featured such facilities as a sauna and jacuzzi. The next morning, everyone rose ready for two full days of excitement and were at the gates at 10:00, ready to enter the fair. Once inside the gates, however, everyone found that with so many things to see and do, one didn’t know which direction to take first. While some decided to get in a line to see an exhibit of one of the many countries fea- tured, others opted to either browse through the national shops or try some foreign food. Dreading the long trip home, Gloria Pugh and An- gie Foster think about how quickly the time passed while at the World's Fair. 20-Senior Trip At The Fair Some of the countries that seemed to be most popular among the students were Chi- na, Australia, Korea, Japan, Peru, and, of course, the United States. The exhibits were made interesting in many ways. With the theme of the fair being “En- ergy Turns the World,” many countries fea- tured energy displays as well as films, arts, and crafts. Some even had live performers, such as the Canadian dancers. China even brought a piece of the Great Wall. Foreign food was another highlight of the trip. Belgian waffles, Chinese, German, and Mexican food were some of the different foods sampled for the first time by many seniors. There were constant outdoor attractions, such as the bluegrass music at the Folkland Festival, and the daily parade at 5:00 featur- ing high school bands and the Budweiser Clydesdales. Sunday gave an extra day for everyone to visit the exhibits and attractions which they missed the day before. Everyone seemed to be more relaxed and felt that one day at the fair would never had provided enough time to see and do everything that there was to do. On their way to the bus, Angie Turner, Maria Rafferty, and Wendi Hill laugh about the fun times shared while on their senior trip. Bottom: Finding the sights of Knoxville as exciting as those of the World’s Fair, Steve McNeil and John Loughhead traveled in style as they rented a chauffeured limousine for an hour on Saturday night. neanicerntionconeronesnonnmoansit

22-Prom Juniors Rusti ite Get Ready One o'clock. The juniors walked into the ballroom; their faces fell. Nothing was ready. Tables had to be set up, the floor mopped, the picture background stuffed with tissue, the gazebo painted, the stage for the band decorated, and streamers as well as table decorations had to be put in place. As the clock struck five, the juniors scur- ried home to get ready for their big night. Everything was in place, and it looked like a “Sweet Dream.” Their task was finished, the band, “Charisma,” had set up, and the prom was two hours away. As the clock struck eight, the ballroom was already filled, not because of the num- ber of people, but because of the space some girls took up with their ‘Southern Belle” gowns. Some were surprised at how festively the ballroom was decorated. Since the ju- miors had not purchased many decorations because of limited funds, the gazebo used last year was a familiar sight, though it was decorated differently.
