Thelegend conunued A students viewpoint When we were sopho- mores we didn't know anything. We were tough kids thinking we were it, We had it all together, nothing could touch us. We were the cream of the crop. The public called us angels so we wore our halos proud. But soon we found that things do go wrong. We found that experiences could be cruel and bitter. We sometimes hated everything about this place, but there were so many times that we were in love with itg there was nothing we wouldn't do for it. And so we cried . . . we found that we could be touched. We knew that , , we were seniors. - Jeannette Everette Introduction - 5

r L it , X The legend continued in Student Life Rocky Mount, small town, U.S.A. What does a town of only 46,000 citizens have to offer a teenager for entertain- ment? lf someone asked this question to a senior high stu- dent in 1960 or in 1982, the answer would probably be nothing During the summer every- body does the same old thing, senior Mark Beard said. Usually, there's nothing different to do. Although the students often complained about the lack of entertainment, they always found something to do. When school opened, they found many more activities, sports, and clubs to get involved in, such as band, football, cheer- leading, and various jobs. Even though t.he students were still caught in the what can l do dilemma, they somehow entertained them- selves, which Senior High teenagers have seemed to do from generation to genera- tion. Mary M.
