These girls seem to know that this is the season to catch a beau! Student Council nominations and elections brought about new of- ficials of the student body. Of this group, Jimmy Elkin, Haley Barbour, and Varner Hines were the lucky and victorious ones. April Somewhere Over the Rainbow was each senior's dream during the annual Jr.-Sr. Party. April and spring! An epidemic engrossed the entire student body. Everyone had it and was glad he did. The disease . . . SPRING FEVER. Just thinking of the fast approaching three months vacation gave everyone a queasy feeling in the stomach and thoughts no longer turned to studying, but to planning. Plans that would include blooming romances and the golden days of summer.

March March, the windy month that ushers in the spring, ushered many more events into the school year. To the girls it meant red noses and mussed hair-dos. For the football players it brought spring training. Seniors prepared for college as they jour- neyed to take their entrance exams. Despite these many aches, bruises and inconveniences it was enjoyed by all. On our school calendar it brought those four wonderful spring holidays and the faculty-varsity basketball games—a real treat to all spectators. The school paper, the Yazooan, capped the official title of being the best in the state. In the windy month the Irish leprechauns come out. All who believe in the wee people celebrate by the wearin' of the green on St. Patrick's Day. As the winds die down, March closes with just two more months of school. Watergirl Leach hands basketball star, Margaret Hester, a glass of ice water be- tween halves at the girls' varsity-faculty basketball game. Enthusiastic seniors journeyed to various colleges in the state to take their ACT tests to qualify for college. Mr. Hoffman's dramatic club present- ed the student body with a delight- ful comedy entitled Never Trust a Man. Stage furniture and make-up made the play a production in itself and showed how well YHS's extracur- ricular activities function. II

May The famous Quartet of Bus No. 1 wailed out tunes of harmony to the journeying seniors of '63. May marked their dream-come-true as New Orleans came splashing into their lives. The month of mirth ... a month of meaning . . . the month is that of May! The final month of a school year at YHS. During this month, hours and days are spent in preparation for the close of the school calendar. Seniors include in their calendar the senior trip, class day, gradua- tion, and numerous parties in their honor. Every- one tastes the approaching three months freedom to come and all are drowned in the flood of final exams. For the Juniors, the announcements of Girl and Boy Staters highlighted this month. Soph- omores and freshmen saw May as only further maturity of their high school lives. The giddiness of May brought with it joy and laughter as everyone, like these boys do, felt a long awaited vacation hurriedly ap- proaching. Senior parties engulfed every spare minute during this last month. Here the graduating class enjoys an afternoon of boating, skiing, and swimming followed by a barbecue supper.
