Spring Has Traditions of ts Own i Sharon Robinson practices before Talent Show auditions. Mimi Kincaid's dance entertains everyone Spring is an eventful time at Neville. Most of February and March is spent practicing for the Talent Show. The theme for this year's talent show was Tiger Night Live , a parody of the popular TV show, Saturday Night Live . Many talented students-and some not so talented-were anxious to show off their skills in this annual event. The Bengal Beaus, a group of Senior boys who imitate the Bengal Belles, are a traditional attraction at the Talent Show. At the closing of the show, the Bengal Belles danced their last dance of the year. Much hard work and intense preparation went into the show, but the end result proved to be worth the effort. Superstars competition was held in April. Seniors participated in events ranging from Hamburger-eating to softball throwing. The competition was fierce, but the best man and woman finally won the distinguished Superstar trophy. On may 22 the senior class realized a dream that had finally come true-Graduation. It took I2 long years, but the reward was worth the wait. As the gifts poured in from relatives and friends, the seniors were finally able to relax and enjoy the fruits of their labor! -alarm clocks, dictionar- ies, luggage, and for some, new cars and even trips to Europe. 28 x Dr. Seegers traditionally presents diplomas at Graduation
