1984 CLASS PROPHECY We would like to welcome the class of ’84 back for their ten year reunion. Tonight we have three special awards to be given at our reunion ... Fredrick Terry, Jeff Smith, and Jackie Rhoden, here’s your diploma. Almost ten years ago Richard Garmon was crowned 1984 King of the LHS Coronation Ball. To- day he has reached new heights. He is now the national spokesman for Burger King and stars as the Magic Burger King in their commercials. Oh, and by the way Angie Davis, Richard got King not Queen. Dancing has become a way of life for Amy Freeman. She now has an excuse to wear all her jewelry at one time she is a belly dancer. Bruce Watford has fulfilled his dreams of becoming an artist. He is now an instructor of art at Duck Spring Elementary. Replacing Miss Jane on Romper Room, Michelle Studdard is teaching children, ages 2 thru 5, the fundamental skills of basketball. We are pleased to announce that the following guys are to be in- ducted into the Barnyard Hall of Fame for their prolific basketball achievements: Frederick “Chickenman” Williams, Tommy “Tomcat” Stanley, Sharn “Fish” Johnson, and Chad “Goat” Evans.

She owns Shirley’s Booktique. Opening her new line of lingerie made completely of handiwipes, is fashion expert, Myra Hardy. Also introducing a new line of clothes is Marilyn Durrah with her “Doodah Dresses” made completely of burlap bags and that ever famous moth ball scent.

K-Mart’s newest employer, Jeff Hardie, has been named head designer for their new line of Texas steer boots.

The famous world renowned Todd Smith has just opened up his famous Italian restaurant specializing in squid-a-roni. David Hayes is now head cook at Quincy’s Restaurant and is no longer blister prone, but burn prone. It is a good thing Angie Davis did not make a cowgirl. She can’t stand to tie anything down.

She was forc- ed to close however, when a boy, thinking she was a new game, placed a quarter between her teeth and she choked on it.
