Yearbook And Newspaper Staff
To Attend GSPA Convention
Several members (;%{ the
Student Publications staff will
be attending the annual
Georgia Scholastic Press
Association convention in
Athens today and tomorrow.
The convention,
highlighted by a series of
classes, workshops and lec
tures on journalism, writing
and photojournalism, also
features the GSPA awards }fro

yearbook and newspaper have
entered several contests, and
Life In The
Slow Lane
by Lane Hosmer
As most of you know, the
Yrom was last Saturday night.
heard that it was great. I
wouldn't know, of course,
because I couldn't go; I'm on
ly in the 10th grade, so I wasn't
invited. You'd think the prom
sponsors would want me to do
a favorable review of their hard
work, araising them for the
beautiful decorations and all.
But no! So since members of
the press are t,otall{;g:nored at
prom time, and ause no
junior or senior girls were quite
desperate enough to invite me,
I'm just going to act as if the
prom never took place.
I was reading in the paper
the other day that some high
schools are havin%their proms
at places like the Chattanooga
Trade Center and the Choo
Choo. This article also stated
that some students were ren
tin%leimos and Jaguars. Gosh,
I'u luckg if I get to use the
horse and buggy. I may have
to hitch a ride to the prom. If
not, I'll probably have to hitch
my transportation to a post
outside the gym.
It's amazing to think about
the amount of money and work
that goes liml?x akp{‘om. Now,
most people think that juniors
do a.l]p:l?e work. HA! f guess
some of them work, but some
of them have worked out a lit
tle scheme. If they sell enoufh
magazines to raise money for
the prom, then the{ are supos
ed to get out of school all day
Friday to work in the ?m. But
do they all work in the gym?
No! The teachers down at the
school think that these
students are working in the
gym, and the teachers in the
gym think that these students
just decided to stay in class, so
those students who are smart
enou%h to do this can go
anywhere they like.
After school, everyone runs
around like chickens with their
heads cut off. The guys have to
g:t their tuxedos, the g'rls
ve to get their gowns and go
to the beauty shop (or at least
some of them should). Flowers
have to be ordered; the car
must be washed and cleaned up
of all the beer cans, crumpled
test &pen with F at the top
and Skoal spit cups. Everyone
goes all out for a prom.
The really funny thing
about a mmsil that no n:tm tl:
guys. Not only 3; they have to
wear those stupid monkfi:r
suits, most of them aren’t ful-
Iv aware of just how much
L \' ‘ ' / )
class officers taking gan in the
program were Paula Ward,
vice-president; Kim Whitaker,
secretary; and Diane Taylor,
treasurer.
The senior response to the
juniors’ welcome was given by
senior president Tracey Black.
The Prom Kmi and Queen
were Stanley Smith, son of Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Smith, Jr.,
and Kasey Hunter, daughter of
one staff member, Jeff Weaver,
is running for the office of
GSPA vice-president.
Scheduled to attend the
convention are Clarke Hair,
Kenny Cranmore, David
Doster, Mary White, Lane
Hosmer, Rod Hayes, Patrick
Your‘xfiblood, Jimmy Rector,
Wendi Wilson, Rick Cameron,
Jud Simmons, Tmcpl Espfi.

money they've had to shell out
to wear the silth thing just one
n.ifht. I know that the girls gay
a lot for those dresses, but they
get to keep them. (Yes, I know
that it doesn’t really do them
a lot of good to get to keeg
them, since most girls woul
rather skinnydip in a cesspool
than to wear the same dress to
the prom two years in a row).
Guys pay anywhere between
SSO and SIOO for those tux
edos, sls for a u;p hat, $lO for
a cane, and $7 for §loves for
L‘}:t one night, simegly to look
ike Burgess Meredith in the
old “Batman’’ reruns.
And this doesn't even begin
the total expenses for one night
of pleasure(?). You have to
figure up the cost of a fine din
ner, especially if you plan to im
gress your lady. Now, I'll pro
ably take my date to
McDonald's next year, but
some of these guys go to the
most exgensive restaurants
they can find, and with an ap
petizer, main course, and
dessert, it's going to cost them
S3O or more. I don't even have
that much money in my sav
ings account!
And what about flowers?
All the fiuys seem to compete
to see who can provide his date
with the biggest, finest bou
quet or corsage of flowers. It
has become almost a status
symbol. I plan to hit the
graveyard the night before the
rrom next year, so whatever
ucky girl gets to go with me is
really going to have something
to brag about. She'll probably
be the only girl there with a
wreath around her neck.
Now, don’t get me wrong,
I'm not against proms, even
though they are a terrible
waste of money. It's not really
that I'm a cheafiskat,e. it's just
that I'm not rich. Tryinfi‘to get
me to spend money is like try
ing to nail Jell-O to a tree.
Oh, well, I'm still looking
forward to next year's prom,
because I'll be a junior and will
be able to attend. However,
this does bring up a problem.
I'd like to request that some
nice, kind, concerned junior
class sponsor volunteer to be
the chairperson of t.hee(From
committee. I'm concerned that
Mr. Perry might be in charge
next {w Inside sources “fi
