Principals provoke laughter at fourth annual Senior Celebration To promote the country-western theme of the fourth annual Senior Celebration, guests came dressed in cowboy hats and boots, blue jeans, and flannel shirts. A dinner of barbecue brisket, baked potatoes, salad, Texas toast, and chocolate cake was served to the honored seniors by subservient juniors. The celebrating began at 7:00 on the night of March 13 and lasted until 9:00. Following the dinner, everyone went down to the library for the roasting session. Seniors Blake Byfield, Gaylene Smith, joe Becker, and David Craddock took their shots at the administration but assistant principals Terry Guidry and Mel johnson stole the show when they showed up dressed with curly wigs in honor of senior class president Roger Hinkle. After the roasting was over, the guests moved back upstairs to the cafeteria for the dance.
