Taking time to stop, students admire the Statue of George Washington at the Federal Hall in New York City. The statue stands at the same place where Washington took the oath of office. After arriving at their destination, students watch as the seniors make their traditional walk-this time up the grand spiral staircase. pring Viru As the dormant life of winter came to an end and the warm spring sun began to shine, spirit revived students and teachers all over campus. Students suddenly began to pay for, plan for and prepare for all of spring's activit- ies. Forty anxious seniors found themselves preparing for a long awaited fand expensivel cultural awareness trip to New York. Chaperoned by Ms. Marylou Andreelli and Mr. Floyd Dunn, the seniors toured New York, Washington, and Williamsburg. This event only added to the mon- ey problems for these seniors, already beset with assessments. Then came the yearning for a new wardrobe and activities. The spring fashion came only in the An Active Disease color green. Caps and gowns hit the top of the senior's must have list. Graduation came the 31st day of May at Hornet stadium. Tuxedoes and evening gowns also made their appear- ance at the IuniorfSenior Prom. Limousines and Ferraris and '57 Chevys arrived at the Union Bank building in Little Rock, and their passengers went on to the top floor for the formal meeting. The theme for the prom coincided with the attitudes of the students Forever Young. As the summer months grew closer and the thrill of spring and its fever slowly faded away, new plans, preparations and payments were made for the next seasonal change. - +- Sprung

However, for Stevie Green and Terrell Smith, the alarm rang at 5:45p calisthenics began at 6:15. No, this wasn't the army. Stevie and Terrell participated in Boys' State, a week-long conference about government held at the Uni- versity of Central Arkansas. But more important than the jumping jacks, students attending Boys' State experienced how the government operates. Terrell and Stevie first served as city and county delegates: they then were elected to the House of Represen- tatives. As members of different political parties, they learned the procedures for writing and passing laws. They soon became aware of the need for compromise in government. Boys' State taught me about politics: the you- vote-for-me-I'll-vote-for-you kind of thing, said Stevie. When Stevie and Terrell ar- rived at Boys' State, they found they would be living in one room with a complete stranger for a week. Their shared experiences allowed them to become acquaint- ed with their roommates, although they still had to adjust to the dif- ferences in personality and habit. I hardly ever saw my roommate. We didn't have anything in com- mon, said Stevie. Students at Boys' State soon dis- covered the need for compromise in politics and in their dealings with one another. Delegates to Boys State learned the procedures for writing and passing new laws. Stevie Green and Terrell Smith participated in this process by serving in the House of Re- presentatives. - -i .
