Student Life is a bore, a complete bore. I mean, in the morning, ho hum classes and in the afternoon, sleepies - they're all boring. And since Student Life is just classes, lt's a bore. Right? Wrong! Student Life takes in all aspects of a student's life: academics, sports, the prom, summer, homecoming, pep rallies - I could go on and on. And if all those classes are so boring, how come we have so much to talk about? Like distilling alcohol in advanced chemistry, dissecting sharks and frogs in advanced biology, holding a mock election in American government, going on field trips in various classes, cooking and eating goodies in home ec., and discussing everything under the sun in English. I guess I don't need to say much about extracurricular activities or summer. Nobody can call conventions, summer camps, ballgames, bonfires, or banquets boring. So maybe the best way to describe Student Life is to say that it's the things students do together - working together, learning together, and kidding around together.

Roman Romance The mood was romantic: the setting, seductive. Golden grape clusters adorning stately white columns, Cleopatra crowns, a mirrored moon, and glittering gowns transported us in spirit to ancient Rome - although our physical beings were actually in the Grand Ballroom of the Coast Coliseum. Preparations for the '78 Prom, on May 6, actually began in September, '77, when the juniors launched their magazine sales campaign. And what a campaign it was! They easily reached their original goal of S4,000, went on to a super goal of S5,000, and topped that with a final tally of 57,178.70 - the biggest magazine sales total ever. With that foundation on which to build a prom, the juniors with their sponsors, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Webb, began to build in earnest. The Prom Committee chose a theme, secured a ballroom, hired a band, and ordered decorations, invitations, and favors. As Spring approached, excitement mounted as the seniors tried to break through the barrier of silence erected by the Prom Committee to keep the theme a secret. Finally the big day arrived. The girls had their dresses. The guys had rented their tuxes. The Decorating Committee left early Saturday morning to transform the Grand Ballroom into a Roman triclinium. Their secrecy about the theme paid off when at 8:00 the doors of the ballroom were opened and the seniors gazed in appreciation at the grandeur of ancient Rome. Delicious Roman delicacies were provided for those who were hungry or thirsty, and tables scattered throughout the room afforded a place to rest for Those who retired from the dance floor that was big enough to accommodate all. However the tables were not overused as the terrific music of Papa Joe and the Riverboat reverberated through the room. Midway through the night, the traditional program began with a welcome to the seniors and guests from Junior Class President, Ricky Stone. Gifts from the Junior Class were presented to Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Shaw, and Mrs. Cain for their tireless efforts in making the prom a success. Senior Class President, Jimmy Moore responded to the welcome address on behalf of the Senior Class. The music of Papa Joe and the Riverboat kept everyone on the dance floor. 8 Student L ifelProm David Jetton and Scott Strickland congratulate Flint Johnson on being elected King of the Prom. s Wx
