A pat on the back at the senior breakfast was just one of many awards given in recognition of four years hard work by the 448 members of the senior class. This moment gave them a slight feeling of what graduation would be like. Bon Voyage was the theme of the breakfast, where the cafeteria was transformed into the S.S. MacArthur, ready to sail to the out- side world. Navy captain Joe McDowell greeted seniors as they boarded the lucky ship.

Practicing for Perfection As graduation drew near, seniors grew anxious and restless. Gradua- tion was not something to jump into. Practice and perfection was rehearsed. The first rehearsal took place in the school auditorium. Seniors were seated in alphabetical order and rehearsed walking in and out of the auditorium. Restlessness, laughter and noise with a note of seriousness filled the atmosphere. Sam Houston Coliseum was the next place the seniors were to rehearse for the final union of the class of 1984. Class members filed in and out in total amazement wondering how the confusion was going to smooth out into a perfect commencement. Rehearsals of any type are usually filled with confusion, but not this one. Seniors were quick to respond to directions and patient during the long waits. The class of 1984 has been the best, stated Mrs. Mary Rutledge, looking on proudly. Seniors patiently walt for their turn to rehearse in th Coliseum. 52 rehearsal Seniors of 1984 do not deny that they are the best class ever! Wondering what in the world to do next, seniors wait for instructions. Counselor Mr. Jack Neary carefully leads the seniors through graduation. dps by lucy ching
