Building -f lo tm , cUsiti have -fun And some gam»s The float building contest during homecoming spirit week turned out to be a big success. Tim Counts was the senior who so willingly volunteered his house and time for the building of the senior float. Many seniors worked hard every night during homecoming week and they were satisfied with the results since they placed first. Senior Cammi Carlson said, It was a lot of fun because it got the class together. The juniors weren't so satisfied as they came in last place. Scott Christopherson housed their float which was at the end of Shelly Road and surprisingly it didn't fall apart on the way down to the high school for judging. Everyone worked together really well, said junior Molly Messerle, and it was really thoughtful of the seniors to drop by the first couple of nights and leave remnants behind such as eggs and tomatoes. Christy Holliman's garage was the location of the sophomore class float. The float came in third place. Tausha Hill said, Building the float was fun because it was something the sophomores could work together on and at the same time, we could all get along. The freshmen class worked very hard and did well for their first year in the float competition. April Pettengill's place was their location for the float building. Pam Ramey and Verissa Rose agreed that it was really fun building the float. There was also sign competition between the classes. During the week they were put up in the hallways to show class spirit and talent. The ranking from first to fourth place respectively was seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. The float building days didn't just consist of making floats and signs. Eggs, tomatoes, rotten apples, and who knows what else were thrown between the senior and junior class. This was continous every night. Sophomores and freshmen soon got involved. But everyone cooled down quite a bit when the policemen patrolled the areas. That was some week! Senior Jeff Lavey watches as Kelly Brugnoli haimers away. Working on the junior class float are Scott Christopherson and Nathan Page. Sophomores Tina Marquez and Maggie Steuens work cm preparations for the float. 24 F These pages sponsored by: A 8. W Drive In Restaurant All-Coast Concrete loat Building

Seniors gradual: on a Sunday with a. class motto o-f We ere at our -tomorrows toy wh ait: we dream today The senior class of 1984 was a class of 101 students 20 of which were National Honor Society members. The class held their commencement ceremony on Sunday June 3, at 2 pm. The seniors had chosen red and white as the class colors, the red rose as the class flower, and as the motto, We create our tomorrows by what we dream today. The band performed the prelude and recessional for the ceremony. Sarah Kreick started the ceremony by leading the audience in the pledge of allegiance. The invocation was presented by Gary Siegenthaier. He was followed by Teresa Davidson who read poetry. The class motto reading was said by Lisa Bradley. Monica Flynn and Laura Berryhill presented their salutatory addresses. Just as Monica started her speech, the public address system failed so Monica had to deliver her speech without an amplifier. But all the same, she did a good job. A line from Monica's speech summed up the feelings of the seniors. Our class has shared many good times these last four years, but nothing will compare to our last year as seniors. Laura's speech was along the same theme as she explained, The past twelve years have just forced us to grow up. Freedom is just another change. Immediately following Monica's speech, the choir entertained everyone Just long enough for the public address system to be repaired in time for B'-ian Barklow to present the inspirational reading of a poem written by Kim Jacks. Nancy Ellis next introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Joseph Bain. Mr. Bain's speech was centered around the topic of change. In his speech, he said, For these young adults, the greatest obstacle they have is to deal with change and its implications. Throughout his speech, Mr. Bain stressed how new technology would change the graduates' lives and they would need to be able to move with the times. He received lengthy applause when he finished. Heidi Luckman then gave her valedictory address in which she stated, 1 want to thank all parents who loved us, were around to drive us where ever we needed to go, helped us when we needed it - and when we didn't - and for pushing us to be the best we could be. After Heidi's speech, the senior choir members sang We've Only Just Begun and when they finished, Valerie Short presented a poetry reading which was followed by an enjoyable slide presentation that was put together by Monica Flynn and the senior class. Superintendent Frances EE. Farthing presented the class and Coquille School Board Chairman Robert Wilson presented the diplomas to the eagerly-waiting seniors.
