Seniors who tookpart in the famous Senior Skip Day spent the Monday followinprom at Lake Monroe, friends houses or just in bed.The exact date on which Senior Skip Day came into effect wasunknown. According to Principal Mr. Mark Fletcher, seniors tookpart in this tradition when he graduated in 1978.I remember a lot of people went to Sanders Quarry over by anold elementary school that had closed down over by LakeMonroe. It was where they filmed Breaking Away. But if I wouldhave gone out there, I would not have had a house to comehome to, he said.by Martha Payne216 GothicMAY/JUNE 2000
