Finally a senior! Twelve long, hard years seem to all come together when one reaches that last step before going out in “the real world.” Although se- niors have a limited amount of privi- leges, the prestige of the title “Senior” itself holds a certain honor. The most beneficial privilege Seniors hold is going out to lunch. Seniors fre- quent fast-food restaurants such as Hardee’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Mc- Donald’s, and Taco Bell. Some seniors even go home in order to save a little money. Lunch time also serves as a time to finish up that last bit of homework. The Senior Class Executive Board began working early in order to prepare for special senior events, such as Prom, Senior Banquet, and, of course, gradua- tion. Senior Class Treasurer Robby Martin and class sponsor Mr. Randy Holder accept dues from Heidi Edelblute. Senior Class Executive Board members plan and prepare all senior activties. Regular meet- ings are held twice a month. 14 Senior Moments A prom decision was made quickly, and reservations were set for May 29, 1987 at the Chamberlain. Graduation day also became a reality: the Hampton Coliseum, June 14,1987. This would mark the end of one part of life and the beginning of another. As Senior Joe No- con stated, “Graduation is a stepping stone in my life. High school is just an- other rung on the long ladder of success.” What next? Seniors began preparing for life after high school as early as Sep- tember. SAT’s must be taken, college applications must be filled out, and deadlines must be met. Even with all of the frantic activities and costly Senior expenses, the last year in high school was truly a memorable one for the class of ’87. Finally — the privilege of eating out for lunch! Seniors Tessy Joyce, Paula Jef- frey, and Meg Feely enjoy that Burger King alternative. SCA President Eric Moore holds many responsibilities, such as serving as Master of Ceremonies at pep rallies and assemblies.
