Tony Burgess' pep talk wins the student body's support for the football team.
Without the participation of Seniors, many school activities would sssssssnot have survived. Seniors were the backbone of most clubs and sports, and many seniors were involved in several activities. Those who worked and didn't have time to particiapte directly gave their full support to their involved classmates.

A highlight of the year came when it was time for the seniors to order their graduation materials. Along with caps and gowns, there was an assortment of graduation accessories that they could have purchased. Announcements, name cards, thank-you notes, and memory books were jus a few of the items offered. Many members of the class bought Senior Keys to use as key rings, necklaces, or bracelets; these keys, complete with initials and year of graduation, were a source of great pride to those who wore them.

SENIORS
ENGAGE IN DIVERSE ACTIVITIES
SENIORS REACH ATHLETIC GOALS
Members of the senior class excelled in every sport. They servd as captians of many teams and often acted as "assistant coahes" by helping the younger, more inexperienced players. Several won city, district, and statewide honors, and a few were actively recruited by colleges.
Seniors were involved in all aspects of school life. On any given day, they could be found in the library studying, on the field perfecting their techniques in any number of sports, or rehearsing for plays. They were often busy planning activities, such as assemblies, or heading clubs and committees. Whether they were running relays for the track team or competing in forensic meets, the participation of seniors was vital to the welfare of the school.
