of School Life Panorama No student entering the flow of life at Valdosta High School can avoid being ab- sorbed into its spectrum of emotional trials and triumphs. Ulcers, tremors, laughs, head- aches, and every other result of feeling is naturally coexistent with the events that pep- per the usual pace of school life. From the sophomore girl's first fling at Homecoming, weighted down with a yellow cloud of 'mum petals, to the mature senior girl's debut at the Senior Banquet, the thrill of sentimental moments penetrates the gloom of tests and deadlines. No one minds the gloom; for, like any- thing else, school would not be the stimulat- ing experience it is without the more trying elements integrated into its schedule. Tests, projects, and homework round out the stu- dents' school world. With these preparations, students prepare themselves for the world ahead. Whether their goals be college, marriage, or careers, the emotional tests passed while at VHS help boys and girls adjust to the adult world. 7
