The school year literally began in red-hot fashion in August, as temperatures soared to record highs across the country. Because of the outrageous temperatures, the starting time for classes was changed in an effort to make it more bearable for the students and teachers. Classes began at 7:00 a.m. and school dismissed at 1:40 p.m. with a thirty-minute lunch period at 10:30 a.m. The heat schedule, which lasted two weeks, did not change the length of any classes, but allowed the students and teachers at C.H.S. to get out of school before the hottest part of the day arrived. After the heat had subsided, the red-hot atmosphere moved to the football field, where it was exhibited by the players and coaches on the football team. Although their record was not as impressive as it was in previous years, it didn’t take away from the spirit exemplified by the players or the enthusiasm of the fans. From there, the enthusiasm carried over into the basketball season. Under the leadership of new coach Joe Cagle, a former eager at C.H.S., the Tigers played a more wide open type of basketball. This seemed to please the fans and get them more involved in the games. One of the most exciting parts of attending a basketball game for the fans was watching the Tiger Twisters, which is a group of youngsters who tumbled and performed gymnastics at halftime at the home games. These youngsters, ranging from grade 1 to grade 7, put their gymnastic skills to music and performed to different songs at the games and were certainly red-hot! Of all the sports teams, the baseball team was the hottest. Returning practically everyone from the previous year, the team compiled a very impressive record. By the end of the season, the players as well as the fans knew this had been a red-hot year. The Seniors showed their red-hot” enthusiasm during Spirit Week by their decorations displayed on the front lawn of the school.

More Than Just Temperature Laura Townsend and companions prove that friendship is still “red-hot” at CHS. 1983-84 was also a very productive year for the clubs and organizations at C.H.S.. D.E.C.A. and F.B.L.A. fared very well at District Competitions and each club sent several students to State Competition. Many other clubs were very active also and membership was up in most of the clubs. Of the clubs and organizations, the C.H.S. Band was by far the most productive. During the course of the year, the band won more trophies in 1 year than any other band in the history of the school. Out of the band, many students received All-Division honors and some went to State Competition. The choir also did very well as they attended the District Competition and fared very well. As did the band, the choir sent some students to State Competition, also. The classes at C.H.S. were also red-hot this year. The seniors were full of enthusiasm and excitement throughout the year, as they neared graduation. The junior class was happy about being able to attend Prom, getting Senior rings and becoming a Senior next year. Sophomores were excited about no longer being the lowest underclassmen and showed their enthusiasm by winning the Spirit Week competition at Homecoming. The freshmen were very thrilled about being part of high school as well as enjoying the privileges of being in high school. The year started in red-hot fashion with the heat schedule. It then carried forth to the various clubs and organizations and, of course, was a part of the sports teams in their enthusiasm. The year got even hotter in spirit as graduation neared and, overall, 1983-84 was as red-hot as the Tiger Spirit coursing through the veins of the C.H.S. students. The students' excitement even remains “red-hot” during the first snowfall of the year. The students mingle in the shade where it was cooler during the heat schedule at the beginning of the year.

(Photo by Randy Riney) For most of the students at CHS, the 1984-84 school year began as just another step on the ladder towards becoming a senior and graduating. For the seniors, though, it began as their final year of high school. It found them now looking forward to the future and what they would choose to do after graduation. As the year got underway, seniors found themselves caught up in a whirlwind of activities such as having pictures made, ordering invitations and buying memory books. They also took part in practices and games of the various sports teams they competed on — as well as participating in the different functions of numerous clubs and organizations at C.H.S. As the year progressed, however, seniors took time to reminisce about their past and look forward to what their futures would hold in store for them. Many felt excited about graduation, while others tended to look upon the event with a great deal of sadness. One thing was certain though — all would be relieved when they made that final trip across the stage to receive their diplomas.

They have not yet put a great distance between themselves and the “underclassmen” status, yet they also gain a good view of “life at the top” the seniors. The Junior class is the most involved in fund-raising , since it is their responsibility to plan and host the Junior-Senior Prom in May. Always looking ahead to this goal, Juniors willingly volunteer their time and efforts to working in the concession stand at home football, volleyball and basketball games. Juniors are the backbone of all school sports and organizations. Many 11th graders hold positions in many clubs and often set their sights toward running for Student Council president or vice president ill May. Leadership qualities are also evident on the football field and basketball or volleyball courts, as Juniors strive to continue the winning tradition of our athletic teams. Members of the Junior class are also chosen to be a part of Depression weekend, a project of American History class. At this time, they are called upon to show “what they are made of’ since the major part of this weekend is spent “roughing it” living life as similar to that during the early 1930’s as possible. Juniors are active in planning, leadership and involvement at C.H.S. and without them, a void would certainly be felt.

(Ellen dent body. Englehardt and Kim Churchill) Music is one of the biggest businesses in America today with albums, tapes, and turntables, cassette decks, car stereos, pianos and guitars, and other music-related items selling like hotcakes. There are many types of popular music today ranging from hard rock to country and western — enough to satisfy anybody’s taste. Not only are records and tapes available for sale by a favorite artist, but live performances attract the fans. Appearing at the Memphis Mid-South Coliseum this year were such groups as AC DC, Hall and Oates, Journey and ZZTop. With the sound of music comes the movement of the feet — dancing. The latest fads to sweep the world of dance are break dancing and “the Smurf.” Although these are the latest “in” dances, students still enjoy slow dancing. Some even lean toward western dancing, such as the two-step. Although the world of music will always be changing, it will remain always popular and always hold a large spot in the hearts of C.H.S. students. Randy Huckaba likes to listen to music privately. _________ to Life In and Out of C.H.S Sophomore Emanuel Parker listens to music on his “box.” Here are the top ten hits of 1983: 10. “Islands in the stream” — Kenny Rodgers; Dolly Parton. 9. “Gloria” — Laura Brannigan 8. “Beat It” — Michael Jackson 7. “All Night Long” — Lionel Richie. 6. “Maneater” — Daryl Hall and John Oates. 5. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” — Bonnie Tyler. 4. “Down under” — Men at Work. 3. “Billie Jean” — Michael Jackson. 2. “Flash dance” — Irene Cara 1. “Every Breath You Take” — Police (Above and left) Emanuel then demonstrates one aspect of breakdancing, which is sweeping the country. He shows how to “tic,” which is moving the hands and arms in a rhythmic way in time with the music. 35 | Sophomores | Homecoming Competition Sophomore Class Officers: (Left to Right) James Mott, Reporter; Dee Anne Southern, Vice-President; Jane Grantham, President and Maggie George Being a sophomore means more than just being in one’s second year of high school. For this year’s sophomores, it meant that they were no longer the underclassmen, looked down upon by the upperclassmen. The sophomores were one of the most enthusiastic classes at C.H.S. this year. Members of the sophomore class competed in many different sports, clubs, and activities. They also won the Spirit Week competition during Homecoming. Another highlight during the sophomore year is the long-awaited earning of the driver’s license. They could also choose more of the classes they wished to take during their sophomore year. By the end of the year, the sophomores looked forward to their junior year when they could enjoy high school even more.

They learn, they grow, and their enthusiasm is “Red Hot.” Unlike the Junior high routine, Frosh have a variety of classes from which to choose and new friends and acquaintances to make, along with new paths to explore. They also enjoyed the many privileges of being in high school such as having an open lunch hour, being able to select their classes and participating in the many sports teams and clubs they can become a part of at C.H.S. With the arrival of each new Freshman Class comes a new group of students, full of hopes and dreams for their futures. The 1983-84 Freshman class was no different, as they pursued their various dreams and completed the first step toward graduation. 44 Way to Graduation Freshmen 141 Ninth-Graders Begin Figgins, Jonna Floyd, Eddie Fonda, Elbie Ford, Randall Frencher, Charles Fruhling, Merle Glass, James Glass, Ronnie Grant, Vincent Griffin, Ronald Guest, Lee Gunter, William Hayden, Thomas Hayden, Yvette Hayes, John Hayes, Richard Herren, Stephen Hopkins, David Horton, Lee Howell, Russell Hundhausen, Teresa Hunt, Juanessa Irvin, Cassandra Isaac, Jane Isom, Mary Jane Jackson, Deborah Jackson, Michael Jarboe, Allen Above: Outside scenery is being drawn by students from Ms. Dahl’s art class during the early fall days. 46 Long Road to Success Jasper, Sandy Johnson, Denise Joiner, Eddie Jones, Charles Jones, John Kahl, Flo Kirby, Carolyn Lack, Michael Lane, Carrie Larry, Alveta Leasure, Roy Lindsey, Donald Lindsey, Shawn Lopez, Ronald Lynn, Richard Malone, Mary Ellen Mansfield, Wade Mauk, James McCall, Steve McClendon, Britt McCullough, Susan Meales, Gary Middleton, Vickie Minor, David w - 4 . n f IS m Jl V' W E Am m Moore, Jennifer Moore, William Morris, Danny Mullins, Bonita Nichols, John Payton, Renee Pedigo, Raechele Privett, Ronnie Pruiett, Jon Roberts, Libby Roberts, Steve Robinson, Theresa 47 Freshmen | Class of '87 Shows Freshman cheerleaders Latonya Ellitt and Crystal Thacker show their pride in the Tigers at the annual Homecoming parade.

Although Halloween is not considered a major holiday nor heavily commercialized, it is enjoyed by almost everyone in the country. The students at CHS may be considered too old to enjoy the pleasures of trick-or-treating but that didn’t stop them from enjoying Halloween at all. Many participated in mischievous activities, hoping they wouldn’t get into too much trouble. Other students weren’t as daring, though, as they took younger members of their family trick-or-treating, went to Halloween parties, or attended church-oriented events. Halloween is a time for pumpkins, ghosts and goblins, but at C.H.S. it’s simply a night to kick up your heels and play a few harmless pranks on your friends.

Various clubs and organizations also had outstanding years. The C.H.S. Band and Choir were two very productive organizations this year. The band had their best year ever, winning more trophies than any other band in the history of C.H.S. They also sent many students to District Competition in Cape and sent a few to State Contest in Columbia. The choir had one of their most efficient years, also. They, likewise, sent many students to District Contest and several to State. Some of them even received I ratings at State. The band was directed by Mr. Randall Blue and Mr. Tom Ryan while the Choir was directed by Mrs. Viretta Sexton. D.E.C.A. (Distributive Education Clubs of America) was sponsored by Mr. Fred Boyd. Three students won first places at District Competion. They were Randy Huckaby, Terri McTernan and Sheila Catsvall, all Seniors. They went on to State Competion and enjoyed a luxurious weekend at the Lodge of the Four Seasons. F.B.L.A. (Future Business Leaders of America) was sponsored by Mrs. Sandra Jackson. Winners at the District Competition whe attended State were Dee Anne Southern, Byron Medlin, Jeff Tarpley, Gina San-dage, Lester Ricks, Jo Block, Angie Brown, Robin Buck, Kevin Cheek, Mellanie Jackson, Brian Jean, and Steve Reed. These were just a few of the clubs and organizations that had an exceptional year. The rest of the clubs and organizations, however, were also red-hot, as membership in almost all of the clubs rose in ’83-’84. 71 Organizations ______Club Membership Is COTTON BLOSSOM STAFF Editor-in-Chief — Kenneth Hosier Layout editor — Rita Smith Copy editor — Renay Woods Photography editor — Lee Smith Organizations editor — Christy Crenshaw Faculty and Classes editor — Jackie Going Sports editor — Paula Williams Production assistant — Paula Medlin Photographers — Michael Overbey, Christy Crenshaw Advisor — Mrs. Teresa Richardson TIGER RAG STAFF Editor-in-chief — Janet Utley Copy editor — Lisa Dale Copy staff — Sandy Smith Jerry Grissom Layout editor — Sheila Datsvall Circulation editor — Lisa Dale News editor — Kendall Jarboe News staff — Jill Campbell Jessie Dawson Feature editor — Leslie Summers Feature staff — Diane Barnard Tony Brown Sports editor — Alphonzo Prather Sports staff — Michael D.

Students had a variety of tastes in the transportation they chose to drive. Some preferred cars while others chose trucks. Some wanted newer model cars, while others enjoyed buying older model vehicles and fixing them up to suit their personal tastes. Money was always a problem when it came to a student driving a car. Some were fortunate enough to receive cars as a gift from relatives. Others had jobs where they could pay off their cars while an unfortunate few had to walk. Mark Gibbins enjoyed going mudding in his Ford four-wheel drive. 83 Seniors | Looking Back at the John Nunnery (with the megaphone) served as the emcee at Spring Day activities.

(Photo by I.ee Smith) Classes started off with a new wrinkle this year, because of the extreme heat. Bright and early at 7:00 a.m. on August 29, students were “red hot” in pursuit of a successful school year. Armed with new notebooks and pens, students went to unfamiliar classes. Freshmen were introduced to their teachers, textbooks and course requirements. Having endured the first day’s notes and rules discussions, students mingled in the hallways — catching up on conversations lost track of since the spring or gossiping about events from the summer before. Most students spent the first weeks getting used to starting school with the sunrise and getting out at 1:35. With ample time on their hands in the afternoon, students tried to beat the heat — either by staying in and turning up the air conditioner or heading for the swimming pool. Whatever the activity, the main objective was to stay cool during the waning days of the red-hot summer of 1983. Student Council President John Nunnery and Vice-President Andrew Moore welcome the students back to school with open arms.

(Photo by Mike Hilburn) The week of Homecoming started off in a red hot way. The events included selection of Homecoming Queen, Spirit Week, the parade, and the Homecoming football game and dance. To boost school spirit and to support the team, a bonfire was held on Thursday before the game at the Wal-Mart parking lot. This gave the students the chance to show their support for the Tigers. Before a blazing fire, students shouted chants to help boost the team up for the game. As a part of this year’s celebration, the parade made its way down Ward Avenue. Various groups entered with elaborate displays. In the evening football fans witnessed the victory over the Kennett Indians. After a lengthy battle, the Tigers prevailed by a score of 20-6. During the annual Homecoming game, Gwen George was crowned Homecoming Queen. Her escort was Darell Hayes. Other Homecoming candidates were Gerianne Dudley; her escort was Kevin Cheek, Kim Churchill, escorted by Steve Reed; Bernadette Watkins, whose escort was David Gubin; and Jo Block, escorted by Shawn Howe. The Spirit Week decorations competition for Homecoming was won by the Sophomores with a theme of The Muppets. The Seniors took first with their theme of Happiness is ... and Rainbows ... in the outside display division. Students worked to create new ideas and refined past ones to make this year one of the best Homecoming Spirit Weeks in recent memory. “This year’s Homecoming was one of the best we’ve had, I think,” commented Terri McTerran. (Senior) “Out of the three years I’ve been here, this year was the best Homecoming and Spirit Week ever. Everybody participated in Spirit Week — and it was decorated nicely and we had an outstanding disc jockey for the dance. Attending the dance with Michael Overbey topped it all off. I had a BLAST! says Senior Christy Crenshaw. The cheerleaders try to raise the crowds enthusiasm at the bonfire.

The students listen attentively while Coach Edwards explains the three-mile hike. Eydie Combs, Alicia Glass, Jerrianne Malone, Paula Williams, and Michele Dye seem to have the same comment on their minds — “Where’s the Beef!” The fourth annual Depression weekend was held April 13-15 at a rural location near Lenox, Tennessee. This project was originally developed by American History instructor, Mr. Roy Edwards. Approximately fifty-eight students in this class spent the weekend “living in the past,” doing without modern conveniences and trying to sustain themselves much like the American people did during the depression. Several C.H.S. teachers served as chaperones for this group. All enjoyed the rustic scenery and the leisurely attitudes of the time spent. However, all were certainly a little bit relieved to return to civilization, with a much richer feel of American History. 97 Features Assemblies Break the Students wait impatiently for the assembly to start.

The United States Navy Band “jams down” with the latest in pop music. Assemblies offered the students at C.H.S. a break from their daily routine of attending classes. Although the assemblies weren’t as frequent at times as the students would have preferred, they were anxiously awaited and enjoyed by everyone. Although the assembly programs varied in types and kinds, there were an abundance of magicians this year. There were also many contract assemblies, as well as the annual Homecoming, Cotton Blossom, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Installation, Black History, Student Council, and Awards assemblies. The assembly programs, overall, went well this year and were very much enjoyed by the students. The behavior at the assemblies was pretty good, too, which should make for even more assemblies in the future at C.H.S. These four turkeys Ashlea Hardesty, Anna Nelson, Gerrianne Dudley, and Christy Crenshaw participated in a skit for the annual Thanksgiving assembly. 99 Features_| Black History Week Ties “Mad dog” (Terry Taylor) acted as leader of the West Side Warriors while setting Milton (Michael Prather) straight. (Photo by Lee Smith) Since February is traditionally honored as Black History Month, February 20-24 was celebrated as Black History week at C.H.S. with the assembly being held on Friday, the 24th. This year’s Black History play was written by Senior Alphonso Prather and Freshman Juanessa Hunt. The program was entitled “Someday We’ll All Be Free.” The assembly opened with Rita Smith and Teresa Starks welcoming the crowd and followed with Teresa’s rendition of the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The play centered around a small Black family overcoming adversities and tribulations to reach success and happiness. It also focused upon the family’s son who was caught up in a violent street gang and his family’s attempts to bring him back home. After their performance of the play at C.H.S., the students traveled to Cape Girardeau the next day where they performed the play at Southeast Missouri State University. “Top Dragon (Carl Willett) welcomes Milton Johnson to the gang.

Those who attended the Cotton Blossom Dance anxiously await the crowning of the queen. Shawn Curtis and Lisa Brower, Carl David Boyd and Andrea Clark, and Randle Ford laugh it up before the D.J. begins the music. The theme for the 1984 Cotton Blossom Dance was “A Night To Remember.” The Cotton Blossom and Tiger Rag Staffs spent many long and tiring hours preparing the gym for the dance. Decorations included a beautifully decorated, battery-powered Merry-Go-Round as the focal point. But efforts paid off on Saturday night, February 18th as most everyone enjoyed themselves. The evening began with the crowning starting at 7:30 and the dance at 8:00. The 1984 Cotton Blossom Queen was Miss Belinda Stanfill. Her escort was Lee Smith. Other candidates were: Christy Crenshaw, escorted by Stoney Cook; Rhonda Fox, escorted by Andrew Moore; Sandy Smith, escorted by Dewayne Faulkner; and Kim Stepp, escorted by Kenneth Hosier. Following the crowning, Queen Belinda and her date started the dance.

The student body met on the lawn from 11:55 to 12:45 and games were played. Many students participated and the weather was great! Students celebrated spring by wearing outfits during the week. Monday was “Hat Day,” Tuesday was “Dress Up Day,” Wednesday was “Clash Day,” Thursday was “50’s Day” and Friday was “Punk Rock Day” — and competition was held for the best dressed punk rocker. The girls’ winner was Ashlea Hardesty, and for the boys’ was Bubba Proctor. Spring Day has become an annual event at C.H.S. and has evolved into a celebration of the season. Sunny days and a springlike feel to the air make this an enjoyable event for all.

A delicious catered banquet was served to the students who attended. Finally, the dance itself began. The beautiful decorations centered around numerous pink balloons and included a punch fountain. “Marvelous Mark,” a disc jockey from Cape Girardeau, provided the music for the dance and kept enthusiasm high with his humorous antics. Students gathered for what would be the last time for some to share the fellowship with fellow students and friends.

Backed by one of Arkansas’ leading rushers, Richard Brothers, the Colts proved to be too much for the young Tigers to handle. Final score, Rivercrest 34 — Caruthersville 3. The following week, the Tigers played hosts to their arch-rivals, the Hayti Indians. With revenge on their minds from the previous week, the Big Red were poor hosts to the visitors. Led by junior Charles Medlin’s 246 yards rushing, the Tigers trounced the hapless Indians 39-0. The Tigers then traveled to Dexter to face the Bearcats in their first road game of the season. Two outstanding plays (Mike Hopkins’ 71-yard touchdown run and Kevin Cheek’s 80-yard touchdown reception) were not enough, as the Bearcats scored in the final seconds of the game to defeat the Tigers 23-19. The Tigers’ next opponents were the Marion Patriots, a team not very familiar to the Caruthersville athletic program. The Big Red defense held the Patriots to only one score, but unfortunately, the offense couldn t get rolling as the visiting Tigers finished on the short end of a 6-0 decision in a very hard-hitting game. The Big Red then traveled to Charleston to face the fourth-ranked team in the state of Missouri — the Charleston Blue Jays. Key mistakes by the Tigers and the overall size and speed of Charleston was just too much for the Tigers to overcome, as the Blue Jays handed the Tigers a 55-13 defeat. Next, the Tigers returned to the friendly confines of Hopke Field to do battle with the Indians of Kennett on Homecoming. After battling to a scoreless first half, the Big Red took charge in the second half. Paced by senior Kevin Cheek’s three touchdowns, the Tigers went on to defeat the Indians 20-6. The Tigers then played host to the Memphis Prep Panthers. Both teams, as well as the coaches and spectators, were excited about this game. Just as the Tigers were about to cash in on a long drive that would have won the game, the Panthers came up with a big play and intercepted a pass to put a stop to the late drive. Final score — Prep 17, Caruthersville 12. The Big Red then took to the road again to square off against the Eagles of East Prairie. After heavy rains during the week and all day long on the day of the game, the field was in terrible condition. Nevertheless, the Tigers weren’t to be denied this one as they won the ‘Mud Bowl’ 18-8. For the final game of the season, the Big Red traveled to Malden to battle the Green Wave. A milestone was accomplished in this game as senior kicker David Gubin booted a 42-yard field goal — the longest in the school’s history. Although the Tigers trailed by three touchdowns in the final quarter, they didn’t quit, as quarterback Mike Overbey led the Big Red to two late scoring drives. Unfortunately, time ran out on the Tigers in the third drive as the Big Red suffered a heartbreaking 22-15 loss.

(Photo by Lee Smith) The 1983-84 varsity basketball team had many obstacles to overcome this season. Overall, they accomplished this task fairly well. First of all, the team was under the leadership of a new coach. After giving his resignation at the end of the previous season, the “Buddy James era” ended at C.H.S. His replacement as head coach was Joe Cagle, a former graduate of C.H.S. in 1973. Cagle was an All-American in high school and went on to do very well in the collegiate ranks, as well, at Southeast Missouri State University. Cagle was faced with the problem of a lack of height on the team. The team compensated for that by using the quickness they were blessed with and concentrating on high percentage shooting. Although the squad’s record wasn’t really impressive, the fans couldn’t say that their games weren’t exciting. The Tigers went right down to the wire in several games and pulled out some thrilling victories in the final seconds of the game against South Pemiscot, Delta C-7, North Pemiscot, and Poplar Bluff. Whenever a first year coach takes over a team, the term usually used to describe it is “rebuilding,” which also applied to this year’s squad. The experience they gained this year should make for a much improved squad next year. 137 Basketball 1 Varsity Begins the Wesley Buckner (24), Jesse Foreman (14), and Brad Treece (32) crash the offensive boards hard.

The 1983-84 Track Team was one of the few teams that did do fairly well. Although they have a disadvantage of not having a track to practice on, the team still did very well in some of the meets. Many of the tracksters stood out in several areas and some of them attended the District Meet — Alphonso Prather, Calvin Willett, Lynn Lancaster, Keith Campbell, and Tony Green. With only two students leaving the team, the tracksters should be even better next year. The coach of the 1983-84 Track Team was Mr. Loyd Block, assisted by Mr. Joe Cagle. 140 Scott Fields, Leonard Safford, and Jay Grantham seem more interested in the camera than the meet.

Wade Tipton) The 1983 Freshman Football squad learned a great deal this year. The system of plays was changed entirely by the coaching staff and the team adapted to the situation very well. When the first game arrived, however, the team was fairly small in number and some injuries plagued the team. However, the team did not lack in desire or talent. In fact, by the end of the season, seven players were moved up to the varsity squad. Although their record was not very impressive, the players understood the techniques and fundamentals necessary for them to possess during their upcoming varsity years. The coaches for Freshman Football were Mr. Fred Boyd and Mr. Gregg Clippard. The Charleston Bluejays were denied yardage as the 142 strong Freshman defense held on.

At Caruthersville High School, the division between the sexes is less apparent in track because both groups must face the same hardship — no track to run on and no home meets. Beacuse of this mighty disadvantage it was an indication of their strength when the Girls Track Team won the Conference meet. Sophomore Cassundra Primer stacked up the highest number of overall points to win the track trophy, but Senior Joyce Bowens was also a standout member of the team. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Dona Clark, the Girls Track Program has come a long way and is still aiming toward the future with many members of this young team returning next year. 147 Volleyball | J.V.

The Junior Varsity looks for an even better season next year with the help of Coach Dona Clark.

The 1983-84 Girls’ Junior Varsity basketball squad may not have had a successful season by record but many things were accomplished this year. The team did manage to win a few games and showed good sportsmanship throughout the year. Sophomore Amanda Bell was named to the All-Conference team and did an outstanding job during the course of the season. Bell was also moved up at the midway point of the season to join the Varsity Squad and did an excellent job there as well. Two other sophomores, Jackie Shank and Lisa Grays, also moved up to join the Varsity Squad. Because of the small number of people on the team, everyone on the squad had to perform a task and do an admirable job also. This years’ squad did do that and did an excellent job, likewise. The coach of the 1983-84 Girls’ Junior Varsity Basketball team was Mr. Fred Boyd. 149 | Basketball 1 Junior Varsity Gains Junior Varsity Basketball — (Left to Right): Tony Matthews, Karl Willett, Elbie Fonda, Thomas Starks, Ronnie Truss, Peter Stewart, Vincent Grant, Algie Crenshaw, Michael Ray Prather, Marvin McKillion, and Keith Campbell.

Maturity and Experience The 5'6 guard Peter Stewart goes in for the lay-up as other Tiger players move in for a possible rebound. The 1983-84 basketball season was a learning experience for the Boys Junior Varsity basketball team. Former J.V. Coach Kent Poisgrove, once again took over the helm as coach after Joe Cagle moved from J.V. to Varsity. The team was very young this year with many freshmen and sophomores who did not actually have very much playing experience. Coach Poisgrove played every boy on the team a great deal each game to prepare them for the Varsity team in the future years — which is the purpose of the Junior Varsity program. Although their record wasn’t nearly as good as it could have been, this year’s team did accomplish several goals. By the end of the season, Sophomore, Tony Matthews and Freshman Thomas Starks were both moved up to the Varsity squad where they saw action in District play. Also, the young J.V. Cagers gained maturity and experience under the capable Coach Poisgrove. Marvin McKillion (44) goes in for two points against the Poplar Bluff Mules in a J.V. game.

Golf Team The 1984 Golf Team (Top Row, Left to Right): John Karnes, Derrick Alls, Stephen Bennett, John Nunnery, Andrew Moore, Kendall Jarboe, and Coach Buddy James. (Bottom Row, Left to Right): Junior Capps, Kenneth Hosier, Jeff Tarpley, John Bernard, Shayne Holloman, and Brian Abbott. 1984 was not one of the more productive years for the C.H.S. Golf Team. Inclement weather early in the season prohibited the squad from practicing, which did not enable them to ready themselves for their first match. The linksters did manage to come along later in the season and win a few matches. Seniors Kenneth Hosier, Kendall Jarboe, Andrew Moore, John Nunnery, and Jeff Tarpley provided leadership for the team during this period. The Tigers also finished ninth at the District meet in Dexter. With only seniors and sophomores on this years’ squad, there will be several players returning next year. Sophomores Shayne Hollmon, Stephen Bennett, Junior Capps, and John Bernard should lead the way next year for the Tigers. The Coach if the 1984 Golf Team was Hugh “Buddy” James. Junior Capps shows off the power in his swing to attempt a hole-in-one. 157 Sports One Athlete's Viewpoint Throughout my high school years, I have found that everyone needs at least one type of extracurricular activity to break the monotony of attending classes day after day and just “going through the motions.” Athletics is one way of doing this and a very enjoyable way also. Granted, everyone is not suited or fit to participate in sports but for the many who are, it is quite an enjoyable experience. I, myself, participated in golf four years and football two years. I found golf a very interesting and relaxing sport. It is different from other sports in that you don’t have to chase any balls around the court, get hit by linebackers, or suffer hours of grueling practices. Those were the things I enjoyed most about being on the golf team. The trips we took were also fun, even though they were few in number. The crazy times we had on the bus were the best. Such as listening to Coach Buddy’s wild stories, slapping “Bennyies” on people’s heads, and dogging people’s mothers. I can’t really comment much on the matches we had because we didn’t have many and of the few, we won even fewer. However, I still cherish the fond memories and friendships made from playing golf and wish next year’s squad the best of luck. Kenneth Hosier 158 Boys Tennis Team Tennis Team: (Front Row, Left to Right) Scott Anderson, Timmy Smith, Billy Watkins, and Chris Cobb. (Back Row) James Mott, Larry Cornell, Johnny Bowers, Michael D. Prather, David Gubin, Michael R. Prather and Coach Buddy James. Like many of the other sports teams in 1983-84, the tennis team didn’t fare as well as in past years. The squad had an abundance of underclassmen with little experience. This caused the team to fall on the short end of the score in several matches. However, behind the leadership of seniors David Gubin, Johnny Bowens, and Michael D. Prather, the team managed to win about half of their matches. Unfortunately, in district play, the Tigers were not successful. The double teams, comprised of Billy Watkins, Chris Cobb and Michael Prather, Larry Cornell, both went out in the first rounds, as did singles competitors, David Gubin and Johnny Bowens. By losing only three seniors, the team should be in good shape next year and in store for a fine season. The coach of the 1983-84 tennis team was Hugh “Buddy” James. Johnny Bowens was very successful in his matches. 159 Sports Diamond Men Sparkle Senior Kevin Cheek comes up firing in an attempt to throw out a runner.

The team finished with an overall record of 17-4. This was only the fourth year for spring baseball at CHS, which makes this mark stand out as quite an accomplishment. The Tigers were faced with one of the toughest schedules in the area, but handled it very well. Losses in the regular season came only to Obion County, Malden, and Poplar Bluff. In District play, the Big Red handled East Prairie easily to win the District and move on to State Sectional action. There, the Tigers beat Dexter and stepped up to the State Quarter finals. Unfortunately, the season ended in action against a tough Flat River squad. The team also accomplished many milestones for themselves this season. They batted as a team over .300 and stole over 100 bases. The pitching staff of Michael Overbey, Stan Whitener, Jeff Turnage, and Dewayne Faulkner was also excellent. With only three starters graduating, the team should also be in store for another excellent season next year. The coach of the 1984 Baseball Tigers was Stan Walden.
