21 INTERMISSION Desert Sands King and Queen 1984 As the Junior Class elected Sherry Norton and German Reyes for their Desert Sands King and Queen, they had high expectations for their candidates. The Desert Sands yearbook staff worked hard to determine who would be the 1983-84 Desert Sands King and Queen by selling as many yearbooks as possible. The King and Queen were determined by a contest given by the yearbook staff. This contest was held to encourage the students to buy their yearbooks. The candidates whose class bought the most yearbooks within a week's time were acknowledged as Desert Sands King and Queen. For the last two years the class of 1985 had received the honor of making their candidates Desert Sands King and Queen. The Junior Class bought 46 books during the week of the contest making them the contest winners. The junior’s expectations were fulfilled when German Reyes and Sherry Norton were announced the 1983-84 Desert Sands King and Queen. Bobby Stricklin. Cathy McDaniel, and Rebecca Moore discuss the deco- rations at the Cinderella Ball The 1984 Desert Sands King and Queen are German Reyes and Sherry Norton.

From Russia With Love James Bond was the brainchild of Ian Fleming, who was author of all the Bond series. The great popularity of this cool, suave, smooth hero of the screen in the Sixties was more of a cult than love of a movie character. James Bond was portrayed as possessing an unsurmountable quantity of good fortune and a more modest amount of nearly superhuman escapist qualities. Working for one of the world’s most prestigious secret services, Her Majesty’s Service, James Bond could always count on some gizmo, contraption, or device to be presented to him (just in case) and all designed to do some fantastic far-fetched wonder. From grenades tucked secretly in the soles of his shoes to elaborate sports cars which even the sophisticated Russian tanks could not stop were all Bond’s trademarks. The James Bond movie was guaranteed to keep movie watchers on the edge of their seats through the climax of fast adventure. Agent “007 miraculously survived life threatening encounters with such malicious characters like the modern oriental samurai with the famed bowler hat designed to skillfully decapitate an opponent with its stainless steel brim. This popular screen character was played by Sean Connery, better known to movie fans as the original James Bond. Connery starred in seven James Bond flicks, beginning in 1962 with “Dr. No,” “From Russia With Love” in 1963, “Goldfinger” in 1964, “Thunderball” in 1965, “You Only Live Twice” in 1967, “Diamonds Are Forever” in 1971, and finishing up with his 1982 picture “Never Say Never Again.”
