We enjoy going out to a movie, ball- game or restaurant, but the most special date of the year for most students is the Junior-Senior Prom. It is the time to buy that elegant gown or tough tuxedo. For all who attend, it is a night to remember. Darrell Brittain gets an early start for the prom by getting sweet with Diane Harrington. Since Angie Cooper and Johnny Farrell have been dating for over two years, they will surely make it to the prom. Alan McIntosh and Gail Poe have time for one more hug before Gail has to go to English. IMPRINTS interviewed a number of guys from all grades to discover the different methods they use to ask a girl for a date. Also we asked. “What do you do to try to get a girl’s attention?” Some of the answers are as follows: 1. Brad Green 2. Amp Reaves 3. Craig Farrell 4. Donald Chambers 5. Herman Nettles 6.

The Dating Game Dating habits of a student change during his four years of high school. He begins the dating game in the ninth grade inexperienced, awkward, and nervous, but by the end of his senior year he is confident and debonair — a true Romeo. Like in all games, we become better players the more we play. A freshman is still learning the rules. He is not a very aggressive player. He has crushes but rarely lets the girl know how he feels. He stares at her at a distance in a daze. Never does he ask her out. After a year of experience a sophomore tries to make that winning play. He is still not sure of himself, but takes chances. He asks the girl out but does it by passing a note by several friends. Fickle juniors do not know how they want to play the game nor whom to play it with. They are at the stage that they get enough nerve to call a girl, but they disguise their voice. Super seniors, knowing all the rules of the game, with no hesitation make their plays with ease. With a combination of smooth talking, a few winks and whis- tles they just know they have hit a homerun. But by surprise, sometimes they strike out but they act as though the loss is no big deal. Playing this game can be much fun, but it can also result in someone getting hurt. Students try to remem- ber that there is always a chance to score on the rebound. Some of the guys take time out at break to flirt with Andrea Mclver. Harold Edwards, a freshman, is one of those in a daze about that special girl. Trying to disguise their voice on the phone is a game played by the juniors. Walter Riggsbee tries out this strategy.

This year the students have shown a great devotion to wearing T-shirts with different slogans on them. Some students wear an emblem with their favorite rock group, football, or basketball team. Not only are these T-shirts worn for show, but they also bring out the personality of the student. Dressing up is fine for some peo- ple, but ordinary blue jeans and T-shirts make others feel more comfortable. 8 T-shirts
