i ► A long standing tradition for seni¬ ors has been Swap Day. After acquir¬ ing permission from a select teacher, an individual with senior status was permitted to step into the shoes of that teacher for a day. It was the responsibility of those who participate to create valuable lesson plans for the day. Amazingly, many seniors ended the day praising the efforts of teachers in general, wondering how the instructors of to¬ day manage to continually dedicate themselves to furthering the educa¬ tional opportunities of their students. Whether it was Melanie Frazier disguised as Mr. Carpenter, complete with beard, or Kim Gray representing Mr. Sherrard, the day was an enjoy¬ able and educational experience for those who participated. Irene Everette meets the trials and tribu¬ lations which accompany Mrs. Seward on a daily basis. Student Life

Lm m PGPBGEDEe 4! liLiL ' A few years ago this school opened its doors to new Phantoms who were members of both the freshman and sophomore classes. Today the new students arriving in August are usually of the freshman designation. We have grown ac¬ customed to having this extra class of enthu¬ siastic individuals scurrying through the halls. Freshmen find life at Phoebus to be both con¬ fusing and interesting. The vast amount of free¬ dom that they are suddenly faced with is a huge difference from the “catered to” approach they experienced in the middle school setting. Most ninth graders adjusted to the change in atmosphere readily; however, some found that they were only beginning to find their way around the halls as the mid-term time period approached. Ninth graders are an essential part of the Phantom pride that exists in the school. Their school spirit placed them in the finals in the tug- of-war contest during basketball homecoming week. Yes, ninth graders do have a special place in the history of Phoebus. Phantom freshmen enjoy the luxury of the mall dining area. Student Life
