C In a smouchathon at Pretoria, Sout Africa, In- ge Ordendaal andBilly Van Westhuisen kissed for 119 hours 12 minutes.

Bahamas. While mostwere excited, JACKY JACKSON admitted fearing that which was probably on the minds of many. I am afraid I will be seasick the whole time. JAMES BYRD feels it will be like a dream come true. TERESA FOWLER says, It will be a great experience, and something to remember. RICKY TRIBBLE has fears. I think it will be great, if the sponsors don't try to be too bossy and watch everyone like hawks. LOU ELLEN WHEATON is glad to be going Where no senior class has gone be- fore. MIKE SPAULDING, though, expresses a more ominous thought. Every one is going to get lost in the Bermuda triangle. Many seniors hope the trip will aid them in for- getting a subject that, for most of them, is one they wouldlike to forget: Senior English. Most seniors echoed the thoughts of SU- SAN BARNETTE: It is tough . . . we have to work like crazy. YVETTEJONES statedthat even though it is hard, I like it. FRENDESSA HAGOOD said, It is pre- paring me for college. TONY STUART said, I like the class, but not the subject. KAREN SWAF- FORD said that Senior English is great because Mr. Walker is a great teacher. LORI GARRET T admits that I knowl won't pass with flying colors, but I'll do my best. It is the best English course I've had in a long time. RYAN PHILYAW especial- ly enjoys literature be- cause, one can read it, examine it, talk about it, and remember it. He continues, adding that This is, however, such a rigorous course . . . that it takes some of the fun fand easel out of it. I have had to get into the habit of studying. CLINTON COBB says that it is the best of all the subjects because I think the teacher fMr. Walkerj makes English, work. KEITH BROTH- ERS' opinion might sum up those of the entire senior class: It's o.k., but I wishl didn't have to take it Invariably, Family Living came up as the favorite course of most seniors. According to RE- GINA DYAR, Miss Hite makes it an enjoyable class. SUSAN WOOTEN enjoys the fact that she learns about the opinions of everyone else in the class. JULIAN FANT agrees. You can be more free with speaking in there. Student after stu-

hope for the future. She added that Ford had too much namecalling in his campaign. Less of that might have given him a better chance. LARRY OWENS expressed a gripe that reappears every four years. I think we should choose a president by number votes, but Carter is probably all right. CLIFF MCLELLAN stated that Carter has the perfect opportunity to prove him- self to the people who voted for him. JANE SHIRLEY picked up ona familiar theme: I am glad that Carter won, butl have my doubts that he will do all he promised. KIM SUMMERALL stated that I think that the United States has picked a fine man for President. CAR- OLYN BRUCE sums it all up: Carter is the man for me. 2 The election was ex- citing, but 'what about the high points in the careers of these students? Some were interesting. SANDRA HIX said that, for her, it had been the experience of being pinned between two buses. CATHY AYERS gave a more universal answerg her high point be- ing the Christmas holi- days. VICKI PRUITT found that being ranked 9th in the class proved to be her high point. LINDA WOOT - EN, who is among a group of girls going to Europe this summer, said the an- ticipation of the trip was enough for her. For most, however, the high point was being a senior and, at last, realizing what has been their goal forthe past twelve years: graduation. Another high point was the anticipation of the sen- ior tripg this year, to the

dent commented on the nice, friendly atmosphere, and the interesting topics of discussion. Some stu- dents, however, drifted from the norm. Don't faint, urged KIM BROCK. My favorite subject is English literature. AN- GELA DUNCAN and SU- SAN BARNETTE agree on their favorite subject. Ac- cording to Angela, My favorite subject is Ad- vanced Comp. I've learned a lot and it is interesting. Says Susan, It is a dif- ferent sort of class. In spite of the hard work in- volved, the nice atmo- sphere makes it my favor- ite subject. Seniors were also asked to name the person they felt had influenced them the most during their years at P. H. S. Regularly, the name of Pendelton's guidance counselor came up. CATHY WILLIAMS says that Mrs. Cook has helped me a lot in making important decisions. AR- DETH WILLIAMS goes further: Mrs. Cook is really a great lady, and I often feel I am workihgfor her. She takes the time to treat students as indi- viduals, and is someone I will truly miss next year. Mrs. Cook, says RE- GINA DYAR, helps everyone-- the whole school. RICKY ISBELL says, She has shown me a lot. She tries to help in any way she can, she took over as principal last year. She is really a nice person. Though the majority of seniors listed Mrs. Cook as the most influential, there were some excep- tions. DENNIS SANCHEZ listed as his choice, Mr. Reed. He is a teacher who can teach in such a way that it is almost im- possible not to learn. He has taught me more about things I will need in the future than anyone else. GARY GLEASON says Miss Hite's attitude toward life has influenced him. TONY STUART thanks Mrs. Fanning for showing me my true abil- ity. Both WANDA WHIT- MAN and KIM BURDETTE named Mrs. Bowman. Ac- cording to Kimberly, She is a friend. Wanda says that Mrs. Bowman has in- fluenced her in as many ways as you can name: both good and bad. TOM- MY ROWLAND named Mrs. Lou Williams be- cause she really cared about me and made me realize I was just throwing my life away. Now I'm go- ing to do somethingworth- while with my life. Mr. Murphy was named by KA- REN SWAFFORD as mak- Lam EJ Q P I YI 1 E vw lg,
