A ring of bums - or so it appears as Tommy Reynolds. Tony Lawrence. Leah Leachman. Deidra Anstead. Da- vid Harris. Reese Jordan. and Tony McCourt stand swapping stories in the front of the school. Senior Scrub Day e is very casual. with few lessons in class. Summer? Shelley Dalrymple looks as 8 if she's returning from a day at the $ beach. instead of coming to school after lunch. l surrender! As a blast of water squirts Stephanie Noble's face. she tries to do the same to Bo Hamilton with her squirt gun. Cut-offs. and T-shirts. and army fatigues. Holey ol' tennies. and hats worn at sea. These were a few of my scrub- biest things. A tradition and senior privilege at Ocean Springs High School was Senior Scrub Day. Seniors came to school in everything from Dad's bermuda shorts and army fatigue jacket to white tennis shorts and an Izod. This was one day when shorts were permitted: and. unfortunately. the meaning of Scrub Day was lost to some upperclassmen. as some wore cute short outfits instead of rags. Rowdiness was in the air. as squirt guns were pulled out and used with laughter. After Scrub Day came Senior Dress-Up Day. which was a dras- tic change from Scrub Day. Tux- edos. suits. and dresses appeared in the halls; and an air of sophisti- cation surrounded the seniors. Perhaps it was due to the glimpse of the world outside of high school. Well. at least. they had one last scrub. Look at all this mess in the locker! As school draws to an end. many seniors start emptying their lockers. Tony McCourt. Kenny Hawkins. and Valerie Ba- lius sort through a year's accumulation of junk. 26 Senior Scrub Day

A smile a day keeps the doctor away? Was that the solution for students at OSHS? Well. maybe it didn't always take the illness away. but a cheery face and a few happy words could add a little sunshine to an otherwise drab and boring day. Looks of happiness. sadness dullness or excitement could all be found at school. There might have been a look of worry resulting from a test that possibly could have used more than the five minutes of study during homeroom. A look of anger could be seen if a locker door accidently slammed on ones finger. Even though there were occasional unhappy faces. fortunately. happy ones out-numbered the unhappy and made the days of school seem to pass by much faster. Is this Fred Astaire and Ginger Rog- ers? No. but Keith Zirlott and Sharon Ramsey dance the night away at the dance held after the Annual Staff's Sweetheart Pageant. Many contes- tants enjoy the chance to wear their gowns to the dance after the pageant is over - for it makes the magic last a little longer. Besides. the guys sure didn't seem to mind! Faces 25
