Proms and Froms! Our roads parted on that memorable night. After the fantasy and splendor of graduation, the graduates returned their caps and gowns as their last high school requirement. It was a long road, wasn't it? The 1963 Midnight 'til Dawn dance, promoted by the Yazoo Debs, was enjoyed by all who attended. Bill Anderson and Brig Harris show that there is more to graduation than receiving diplomas. Students, not venturing to the Midnight 'til Dawn, were in store for a night of dining and bowling sponsored by the churches of Yazoo City. One lone, sleepy-eyed graduate looks for some friend as underclass- men compare grades and averages, thinking that in only three more months it begins again for them but never again for him at YHS.

Administration and Faculty As we, the students of YHS, look back over our high school years, we will remem- ber many people who helped us along the way. To them we owe much of our success and excellent records in our years of school. The words printed here are only the small- est tribute to our administration—men and women who have given of themselves in the demanding task of guiding and instruct- ing high school students. With tried patience and with emotions that ranged from joy to despair, the mem- bers of the administration have devoted time and effort toward the constant chal- lenge of being good leaders. They have studied with us, laughed with us, and cried with us; they have tried to give us inquir- ing minds that would accept no graduation, however formal, as the end of an education. 21
