At the beginning of second semester some found themselves in a state of either panic or shock because they were failing in certain subjects required to grad- uate. Others glided through looking forward to hear- ing from colleges. Acceptance and rejection kept these seniors in constant limbo. Some still didn’t re- alize what their responsibilities were and busied themselves trying to earn prestige and recognition as a “Senior”. Some seniors were given the priveledge of study halls. Most found themselves on hall duty, or work- ing as assistants to teachers, because they chose not to elect any other classes. Study halls were often used for various other activities; usually anything but study. Those students taking harder subjects, or with tight schedules, were sometimes forced to uti- lize study halls effectively; but for most seniors these free hours provided ample time for relaxation. “The perfect class would be study hall with noth- ing to study. ” — Anonymous PAMELA BUNTING MOORE. “Pam.” Transferred from Jefferson Davis Jr. HS 9; Pep Club 9; Homecoming Rep. 9; Basketball Night Rep. 9; Majorette 10; FHA 9.

Participation in drives lacked enthusiasm Senior participation in the Toys for Tots and Paper Drive seemed to be evidence of a lack of class enthu- siasm and unity. “I gave all the toys I could find to the eighth grade for my brother. ” — Dottie Martin “I didn’t know there was a paper drive.” — Anonymous “Yes, I felt a need to help others. ” — Donna Inge Other goals seemed more important to the senior student than these drives and they passed without much notice.
