Would you A. leave it for someone else to do B. faint C. accept it with responsibility Twenty-three Seniors were faced with this question and chose answer C. Who were these people? They were members of the Senior Steering Committee. Each Blow out-Steerinq Committee members, Patricia Pott and Marjorie Whitaker, sacrifice their Saturday morning cartoons to decorate for the Senior Mardi Gras Dance.

Government class elected one represen¬ tative to help in the many decisions which would decide the course of their Senior year. Major decisions were often hard to make as each member tried to keep in mind the interests of the remaining Sen¬ iors who were to be represented. The col¬ or for graduation announcements was de¬ cided upon the very day the orders for them were taken. It was requested that the announcements be changed from the pre¬ vious year’s beige color to a solid white. Seniors on the committee liked the idea because they felt that solid white an¬ nouncements were more formal, and graduation was the most formal ceremony during their high school years. The Steer- ! ing Committee not only planned many activities, but it was also responsible for 1 making them a reality. Among these were : the Boys’ Beauty Pageant, Senior an- , nouncements, Senior Mardi Gras dance, and the Senior week. The possibility of a i graduation outdoors and a Senior of the j week were also discussed. Although time was limited, there were j! many decisions to be made during the !: class ' s Senior year. The success of the en¬ tire year depended upon those decisions, a The Senior Steering Committee members cared enough to allow the time to make ! | sure those important decisions were j made, and made carefully.

The Seniors followed this procedure in casting their votes in the mock election on October 27. The mock election was espe¬ cially important to those Seniors who were old enough to vote in the real election since it showed them the steps to follow at the polls. For those Seniors not old enough to vote in the actual election, the mock elec¬ tion still provided an exciting experience. Weeks before the mock election students were heard before classes and in the halls debating issues and defending their choices for the Presidency. The Seniors voted on four amendments to the State Constitution and each one was passed. This also .occurred in the real elec¬ tion. On the other hand, Jimmy Carter was chosen over Ronald Reagan by the Seniors, whereas in the real election Ron¬ ald Reagan won by a landslide. Even though most of fhe Senior class was not in agreement with the majority of American voters, perhaps the experience of losing a vote was also educational. Looking pleased Missy Jennings leaves the voting booth after casting her vote in the mock election. J Seniors 153
