Rain and Wipeouts Pronounce Field Day “All Washed Up” Thirty-seven five-year olds, skinned knees, and burlap sacks, were a few things in store for student helpers and kids on field day. “Field day is canceled!” The news spread like gossip. Rainy weather had been ignored in hopes that field day would or could be held “in the gym.” Students had left books at home and homework unfin- ished. Monday arrived only to find the seniors would be late be- cause of a “Hamlet” test. The juniors and sophmores had their hands full setting up. The enjoyment of the kids was obvious. There were at least four hanging on to your hands or shirt, which by the end of the day was a “one size fits all.” All, at the same time that is. There were moments of pain and defeat. Sliding stops were popular in the scooter race. The 40-yard dash had its share of close finishes. By noon the excitement had died down. The field was clear, and the sound of laughing kids was faint, but the memory of the wipe out was still vivid, just as vivid as the blue of the ribbon with your name on it. After a first poor throw at the lire, the second hits the mark guaranteeing a blue ribbon. Grant Geyer gives Ken Kennedy a final push while Joey Bauldree and Adam Rog- ers work to straighten their scooter. Field Day 189

Seniors Bow Out And Bid Farewell With “Happy Trails” From the moment the first bell rang at 8:22 a.m. in August, the Seniors anticipated the day when they would walk down the aisle and receive their diplomas in front of family and friends. On May 26, girls in formal dresses and guys in tuxedos were introduced before singing, danc- ing, and remembering. Class President, Dianne Spooner, recit- ed the class history of the thir- ty-nine students. Beginning with the old and ending with the new, along with the antics and special memories, they had a chance to relive their years. Vice-President, Cory Hill, gave the class prophecy. Every graduate would remem- ber Kena Maxwell’s ill-fated contact with a condor bird, and Wade Williams’ replacement of comedian David Letterman. Lamar Taylor read the last Will and Testament of the class. Drew Bostick willed Adam Burns hair since Adam seemed to be missing some of his. After the girls sang “Yakety- Yak” and “Lollipop, Lollipop” and the boys sang “Happy Trails”, with a solo by David Gregg, the class walked out of the gym singing “We Go Together”. The next night, the real excite- ment hit. They snuck upstairs and put on their caps and gowns. Afterwards, more tears and hugs were seen throughout the gym. The Seniors had graduated and were getting ready to face the world and meet new challenges. Drake Flournoy enierlains with his antics in exit to the tune We Go Together . Jamey Worrell's Valedictory encourages students to set high goals and strive to reach them. Graduation 191
