A One and Only Night! Disorder was the main event on December 1, 1984. A lot of anxious, nervous candidates with tattered nerves and shredded fingernails waited for eight o'clock to come around and get them on their way. Earlier in the day, band members and cheerleaders marched in the Wytheville and Bluefield parades to the tune of ‘Deck the Halls'; later that night they were ‘moving’ to popular rock songs; and ‘music to get close by' found couples embraced. The annual Snow Dance was sponsored by the FBLA club. The highlight of the dance was the announcement of the winners of the 1984 Snow King and Queen. The first runners-up were Teresa Richardson and Mike Nelson, 2nd runners-up were Angela DeHart and Steven Mitchell. Lisa Waddle and Timmy Davis were announced the winners. 'Cat' Thomas, D.J. from K-92 radio station of Roanoke played the tunes and some ‘one and only' classics like ‘Get Naked!' The night was filled with high spirits. After the crowning and the pictures were taken, ‘Tonight I Celebrate My Love' led the court into a slow dance. There came sighs of relief from the candidates, competition was finally over.

Say Cheese! To find some people in action wasn't a difficult task for our camera. It looked in the gym, 'snap'! It found its way to some classes, snap, snap'! It even went as far as Wytheville on Career Day to catch students learning about the various occupations open to them. No matter where you turned, there was always a little 'black box' with a ‘glittering crystal' on top that seemed to use Morse code with its snaps. Deciphered, it always said, 'S- A-Y CHEESE.'
