Masquerade ball unmasked for all to see Once again the juniors pulled together a very successful J-Hop. It took place the evening of Saturday, May 12th in a well disguised cafeteria. The theme this year was a masquerade ball. Some of the couples wore the masks, the gloves and the glitter, while some just came in their formal attire. The band. Speed Limit, was playing in the corner with plenty of room for dancing. The dance started at 9:00 and ended at 12:30. The scene was a ball room with streamers and glitter. The tables were toward the back and there was a lot of room to sit and enjoy the punch and cookies that were available. Pictures were taken between 8:00 and 10:30 by Craft Studio. After the dance, the choices were bowling at Marshall Lanes or a movie in the auditorium. The mov- ie this year was 'The Birds , an old Hitchcock movie. This all took place from 1:00 to 3:00 a.m. The day after is usually spent at Lake Michigan or at Cedar Point. Wherever you go, you spend an enjoyable day with friends. Kristin Bills and Ron Sebring dance to the sounds of Speed Limit. During intermission, Sheryl Perry and Joe Dennis sit for a while. 22

A closer look at Mrs. Kinney Mrs. Kinney was selected by this year's staff to be honored with the dedicat- ion of the 1984 Dial. She was cho- sen for this distinction because of her outstanding qualities as a teacher. Her high standards for student work and conscientious efforts in the classroom tend to bring out the best in her students. More than just educating them, Mrs. Kinney cares about her students as unique individuals. This year she taught eleventh and twelfth grade English. Stu- dents emerge from her classes at the end of the year with a better understanding of English, and also with a new friend. Mrs. Kinney really believes in the value of ev- ery student. Mrs. Kinney came to Marshall High in 1971 and has taught English ever since. Prior to her coming to Marshall, Mrs. Kinney taught for three years at Jefferson County Schools in her native state of Missouri. No, she didn't teach English. Mrs. Kinney began her teaching career as a physical educa- tion teacher. She later moved to Michigan and taught a total of 12 years at Farmington schools. She taught English at the junior high, and at East Junior High taught English and counseled students. Coun- seling was also her assignment at North Farmington High School. While teaching in the Farmington schools, Mrs. Kinney taught Pam Dawber, star of T.V.'s Mork and Mindy . Mrs. Kinney is proud of this association. While attending her high school. College Training School in Missou- ri, Mrs. Kinney was active in the pep squad, of which she was cho- sen president in her senior year, and was a member of the Green Dragon and Thespian Dramatics Clubs. She was selected outstand- ing girl athlete by her peers in the 11th and 12th grades. As a senior, Mrs. Kinney was a cheerleader and still has her sweater. After graduating from high school with a class of less than thirty, she continued her edu- cation at Southeastern Missouri State College, where she received a degree in education. She earned her M.A. degree in education from Wayne State University. Mrs. Kinney worked at Starr Commonwealth for Boys as a coun- selor for two years. She has been involved in many community activities. She is a member of the Board of Trustees for the Marshall Historical Society. In 1983, she was the recipient of the Community Preservation Award. Her hobbies include gar- dening and the preservation and restoration of historic homes. She and her husband. Norm, worked on the restoration of the National House Inn plus five other homes. They owned the Inn from 1976- 1982. We congratulate Mrs. Kinney on her excellence as a teacher and we are confident that she will contin- ue to uphold her standards. The staff and students are very proud of her and all of her accom- plishments. by Deb Stanley 24
