For seniors, it's '83 I' The best yea This year is unique. You can see it in our actions. We want to leave our mark. So said Senior Cabinet pre- sident Tiger Taylor when asked about his cabinet. Enthusiasm and initiative played a big part in the success of the group, Taylor said. He added that the Cabinet planned for more involvement, a change in the senior movie project, and the possible change to an off-campus prom. The prom effort took top priority, he said. Fund raisers included the regular flower sales, dances, and basketball concessions. But changes were made there as well. The senior movie was not the fund raiser of the past, Taylor said. This year it was a current movie presented at an exclusive rate for Northeast at midnight, November 19. The changes didn't happen by HOW SWEET - Sophomore David King, top right, buys a carnation from Senior Shawn Wilcher.

They took hard work. Cabinet members spent their time promoting, preparing, and pointing out needed changes. Members spent Saturday nights in late summer con- structing their pride and joy - the wooden '83. At basketball games they manned the conces- sion stand, pouring cokes, laughing a lot, and pushing popcorn. At their Friday night all-school dances, members often managed a quick spin on the dance floor and then took turns as ticket taker. The end of the year meant pride for the class of '83 that was reflected by Taylor. We don't just participate, we put all our effort into everyth- ing, he said. There's just one way to say it. Weire the best there is to be, Northeast class of '83. - By Marla Hardwick l1OfClasses, Senior Cabinet

There were senior portraits, caps and gowns, gradua- tion invitations, and college entrance exams. Yale Funk described the expen- ditures as inevitable. lt just goes with being at the top, he said. You want to do everything so you go ahead and pay it. But it does add up. just about everyday you come to school you have to spend mon- ey. A part-time job was out of the question for many. Yale was too busy at school. My dad pays it for me, he said. I used money from a summer job at first, but that didnit last long. Libbi Dixon did find time for a part-time job, and she said the extra money helped. I have to ask my parents for so many expenses, she said, and they always give what I need. But I try to earn my own spending moneyf, Libbi added that most seniors expect the expenses. You hear announcements when you are a sophomore and junior, she said, and you hear others talk about them. But you don't pay much attention until you get to be a senior and they become 'your' expenses. Prom was a major expense with S100 prom dresses and S45 tuxedo rentals. However, in spite of the cost, most seniors considered the prom a benefit. lt's the biggest, most important thing in your life this far, senior Denise Maness said. Finally youire a senior, and you get to go to prom. You're willing to spend the money because it only comes once. - By Michelle james HZ! Classes
