74 th I 2 Just lounging around The seniors. as result of being the oldest students in the school, have always had special privileges. This year. however. one privilege was added to the list that made ,seniority even more elite. After a multitude of suggestions to the admin- istration. a letter to the editor of the P.A. System. and powerful representation in the Principal's Committee. a Senior Lounge was approved by the Board last spring. Mrs. Henry's former math room was miraculously transformed into a com- fortable setting after long hours of work by dedicated students. teachers, and parents. The Lounge became the favorite place for the seniors to congregate, eat. and enjoy each other's company. President ofthe senior class. Balancing Act. Kris Gillian demonstrates the fine art of balancing his Slicee while attempting to eat. Kate Lanford. said. l was so excited about the Senior Lounge. lt kind of brought the senior class together. We all worked together and made it a super Senior Lounge. An even more popular use of the Lounge was that it was a great place to catch up on some much needed sleep. Perhaps it was the comfortable sofas and bean bag chairs, or maybe it was the dim lights and the calm atmosphere. but whatever the reason. every senior had taken the opportunity to curl up and tune the world out at one time or another. Julia Jackson commented. lt is a great place to get away from it all and relax. The Lounge also proved to be a great place to grab a snack before and after class. Parents provided food for the seniors ranging from brownies and baskets of candy. to cake and dip. The only time the seniors were restricted from dining in the Lounge was during lunch when they were to eat with the rest of the upper school. This was in an effort to keep them from becoming isolated. The only objections to the Lounge came in the form of envy from students and teachers alike. Freshmen Chance Woods said. l think that we should have somewhere to go during our study hall. too! All in all. everyone realized that the Lounge was just one more special trait that came with being a senior. and it was another reason to take pride in P.A. Seniors

th I 2 Seniors adopt Lower School On September 25, 1986, the entire student body, pre- school included, assembled on Rector Field for the annual Big Brother! Big Sister assembly. Earlier in the week, a pair of seniors had chosen a lower school homeroom to sponsor for the duration of the school year. The names of the Big Brothers and Sisters had been kept a secret from the lower school, until 2:00 that afternoon when the new families were united. The Big Brothers and Sisters planned games and brought goodies for the little brothers and sisters every month. Both the seniors and the younger students enjoyed their activities together and they formed rapid friendships. Not only did the Big Brother! Big Sister program provide entertainment for the lower school, but as Mrs. Pride, Head of Lower School, explained, lt was a rewarding experience for them because they needed good friends and good guidance at their young, formative years. The seniors also found the program beneficial. Some saw it as an opportunity to experience close relation- ships with those younger than they. Senior Jason Matt said, I enjoyed it because l've never had a younger brother or sister and it gave me a chance to have one. Most of the seniors, however, just enjoyed the simple pleasures found in making the generation gap a little bit smaller. .ww Horse Play.
