The song originally chosen by the class was dropped and another was selected, but the class was not made aware of the change. It all started when, following standard procedure, Class President Courtney Hanna discussed the lyrics of the seniore song, "Just for a Moment," with Principal Sandra McCalla, and, as a result of that discus­ sion, which was held behind closed doors, the senior class officers had to make a change in the class song. The worst part is that the students were not informed about this change because McCalla suggested that Hanna not announce it. McCalla did say that she sent the song under scrutiny to the Student Council, who would work together with the senior officers, to solve the problem. The president and LCXJk uP vice-president of the Council _say that they never heard of this. We feel the seniors had a right to know. . Lou15IANA ·· · After the change was made, it would only make sense that the next likely song would be the song that received the second highest number of votes. Wrong again. The '¥Roc,~E5S Senior Class officers jumped over number two and number three to get to the number four song, "That's What Friends 5TAQTS wrn-{ Are For." The "mark" is made. The song is in the yearbook, and G-ooD ?l.vMBI~& the song is "That's What Friends Are For." The only thing that we can do is to make noise, and what a noise we can make! Let our voices be heard, no matter what your opinion. This situation was not handled fairly and someone needs to know that.
