The tradition of Senior Follies is alive and well. This year we did not have as many acts but we had a great deal of fun. I appreciate the students' hard work and talent, Karen Holcombe. Design by Tonya Davis MSM! Foll Finales Seniors show just how much talent they really have through the Senior Follies production. By: Tonya Davis and Trish Briscoe The tryouts for Senior Follies were announced the day before Spring Break so that seniors could practice their skits and improve on their tal- ents for their last show in front of the student body. The seniors had the whole week to perfect and correct anything that needed work on so that it would be an unforgettable perfor- mance. When seniors arrived back from Spring Break, the auditions took off that following Tuesday. The audi- tions were held in the cafeteria after school to offer each senior a chance to perform his or her act. Together everyone worked in hopes for their part in the show. Thirteen skits and performances were auditioned in front of judges. The auditions took a while for each group or act to perform, but it turned out to be an organized effort by eve- ryone. Almost all the performers who tried out made the show. Those who were chosen practiced everyday up until the final performance. The whole show was a group effort, be- cause everyone worked together and helped each other out. Some of the major highlights of the evening were when Trace Wright spit chocolate up on his date in The Two Phobias of a Date and when eve- ryone came out on stage and joined in on the dance called The Bird . As did the auditions, the show itself ran smooth. There were no problems and there was great student partic- ipation, said Karen Holcombe. The money taken to see the show turned out to be helpful. The 31,000.00 that was raised from Se' nior Follies went towards the seniors' prom. v - l l 2 3 Seniors gathered on stage to perform their Slow Dixie .

Senior Prom Students gather together on one magical night to reminisce and to celebrate the time of their lives. By: Gini Kimball and Heidi Utley The evening was Eretty magica . The uil ing was awe- some, and everyone looked great. There was a sense of sad- ness in the air, knowing that this was one of the last times that we would all be together as a group, but no one let that get in the way of having a nice time. Having all of your friends there, sharing that same bond, made the night even the more worth while, said Stephanie Kimball. As the day grew longer, the nerves of the Senior Class members grew shorter. Final preparations were being made with the utmost of care with thoughts of the evening's events in mind. Tuxedos and flow- ers had been ordered and picked up, dresses were pressed, hair was fixed, nails were manicured, and make-up was applied, all done to perfection for assurance of having the time of our lives .

Following dessert was the traditional slide presentation, which helped the seniors to reminisce about the highlights of the year. The class song was later performed by composers Clint Paschall and Jet Jones. The Superlative awards were then announced. The program con- cluded with the senior Rebellaires leading the class in singing Slow Dixie, followed by a dance held on the atrium dance floor. The Senior Prom was a time for all of the seniors to be together and to celebrate the passing of yet one more milestone - high school graduation. Moreover, it was the time to realize that yes, we were in fact celebrating the time of our lives. vs., A 1 .
