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.

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.

Senior privileges made final year memorable for the graduates. The privilege of sitting in cars was a popular one—especially when Spring had Sprung. Just one con- vertible could harbor gossip, flirta- tion, and last-minute study. Underclassmen watched with envy as the exuberant seniors left excit- edly to parade with the Pep Squad and the band. Autumn Fridays were red-letter days on every senior's calendar. One of the most treasured senior privileges was the right to the pause that refreshes during activity period.
