Class Day Brings Realization That Graduation Is Near Friday, June 6 the strains of Pomp and Circumstance once again filled the gymnasium as the class of ’75 participated in their class day. Rehearsal for it consisted of an hour and a half in the gym the previous day. The alma mater was practiced and gold tassels handed out to seniors with 3.5 grade averages. On Friday the halls were filled with fumble-fingered seniors adjusting robes, mortarboards and tassels. As the underclassmen were ushered into the gym the anxious seniors found their places in lines. Upon marching into the gym, a burst of applause that grew in volume greeted the class. The class day program consisted of musical presentations by both tbe band and chorus members. Bill Cannon was presented with a year’s supply of Joe Luke’s old tennis-shoes and a stuffed” chauvanist pig from the three women in his life. Senior superlatives were pointed out to the entire school and the Last Will and Testaments and Class Prophecy were read. After the more frivolous of entertainments, Mr. Miller mounted the podium and handed out the many awards and scholarships that the class had collected. The day was over for the seniors as they sang their alma mater and amid the cheers, whistles, and applause of the underclassmen, the class of ’75 once again threaded its way out of the gym. 178 CLASS DAY

Seniors Prefer Scream Machine fo fhe Grand 01 ' Oprey On a warm Thursday night in May, the class of ’75 left to spend the Memorial Day Weekend in Opreyland, Tennessee and Six Flags Over Georgia. Upon boarding the Newton buses, everyone was concerned with what each had brought. What clothes, how much money, any blankets or food were all topics. Chaperones on this expedition were Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Miss Scott, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Moore, Mr. Markoff, and Mr. Jobson. After a restless night on the bus, the class was anxious to get to their rooms, but had a few hours delay. The seniors were therefore able to catch a few of Nashville’s high shopping points. Upon reaching their rooms, seniors made a mad dash for the pool where they played until dinnertime. Later on that night the class was treated (?) a glimpse of The Grand ’Ole Oprey. The next day was spent at Opreyland, U.S.A. After a few hours there, the class was anxious to get to Six Flags. Reaching Atlanta late at night, everyone ate, made a few purchases, and hastened to their rexjms to settle down to sleep. Sunday began at Six Flags with Great American Scream Machine” and continued with wet Log Flume rides, wild Runaway Mine Cars, slot car racing, and eating. Ten o’clock came too soon and stragglers at last made the bus. The trip back home was a quiet one with most people sleeping. Arriving back at Tabb 12:00 Monday morning, there was a rush to collect belongings and the fresh Georgia peaches purchased in Atlanta’s Farmer’s Market. Though it was over texD soon, memories of Mr. Moore’s pipe and his anatomy sex education class will be remembered for a long time along with other personal reminiscences. 5 3 S ] ] I i ' i i ; f, s 5 h 7
