The beginning of the year is a time for newness, especially for the freshmen as they advance into a world of new experiences. For everyone else there must be reacquain- tance with old friends, as well as the development of new. Some other important things are catching up on summer ac- tivities and discussing the start of untrodden classes. Clubs try to win new members with promises of exciting activities. Locker and locks are assigned. Summer activities become a thing of the past as the new year begins. Lower: As school began in Aug. the whirl of mighty fans could not curb the heat. Insert: Robin Landrum dreams on of the cooler days. Below: Tyler Arnold and |eff Osborne easily fall back into the routine after a 3 month break. Middle: Student explosion ... As incoming freshmen in- crease, the size of the body explodes. A Lower Left: Perfect attendance can be profitable. You could be the owner of this Honda XL70. Above: Freshman Kim Smith needs extra study time to get back in the swing of things. New Horizons Top: Having Senior pictures taken is once in a lifetime event for Mary Johnson. Bottom: School will be an im- print on the minds of many as they venture into the world. School days! School Days! Ah those golden rule days! This was the slogan for many people as schools in Kentucky began again. But alas, this was not the cry of Grant County Students as they started August 22. As the heat pressed over the hundred degree mark, despair and grief were felt by both students and teachers alike as the relentless heat pounded on. Upper Left: Juniors Fred Williams. Darrel Plummer, and sff Sydnor find that returning to school allows them to see old friends. Middle Left: Senior Nancy Henage shows enthusiasm as she starts her last ear of school! Yes the heat was ominous but it could not keep the enthusiasm down of the students as they met with their friends. Seeing friends was not the only reason for excitement though. The school appeared to have undergone a metamorphosis. With the aid of new paint, the halls and rooms had taken on a pleasant atmosphere. Walking outside was no longer a difficult task from new paved sidewalks. But over all the big change was the abundance of round tables found in the lunchroom instead of the traditionally rectangular ones. The thoughts of the new arrangement seemed to take all sides of views. Angie Gillespie, junior siad, The tables will let students see and talk to one another better. Wh freshman Beth Renaker said, They cause too many problems trying to get around to your table. Middle Right: Kelly Brady and Tony Colson find that lunch can be enjoyable.

Insert: Principal Mr. Brill adds a touch of humor to the first day back. ' .V -Jenni er Caldwell New additions to the school were not the only changes that occurred. Teachers, principals, guidance counselors, and the book store were found in un- familiar places. Due to the freshmen ' s orientation, the freshmen had an advantage over the upperclassmen, but still everyone was in a frenzy trying to find their classes. Within a week, things were moving freely. Left: Seniors |ohn Dunn, and Jenny and Jeff Payne prepare for graduation early. Middle Left: Juniors Ormon Glass and Keith Simpson en- joy hanging around. Below: Sonya and Scotty Simpson discuss their new classes. The changes were not only in the location in the classes itself, but also in the type of classes that were offered. Programmed into the schedule were Com- puter Math and Physics. The classes of G.C.H.S. are very proud of the times they have shared. Freshmen through Seniors all share exciting moments while preparing for the future. Through determina- tion and hard work, students and faculty both have joined together in making Grant Coun- ty High School. With all these changes, at- titudes of the students are star- ting to change. Changing to make the very best of Grant County High School! Right: At career day Mr. Dodson shares information about ministry with Seniors Danny York and Greg M.irksherrv. As school once again ap- proaches opening day, feelings of frustration and excitement are felt by students and teachers alike. Looking forward to the daily routine of preparing one ' s self, attending mind-boggling sessions known as classes, going home and working on the assignments that come from these classes and then to rest one ' s self to prepare for oncom- ing days seems to make students want to run in horror from the thought.

Middle Left: Court Day gives Kenny Peters and Tim Kellam a break from the first weeks of school. For those who enjoy their summer, they regret to see the doors open once again. Junior Doug Parks is such an example. He spends his summer swimm- ing, golfing, and playing soft- ball. Regretting to attend school for such reasons are also felt by teachers such as John Money. Even though it may appear that the majority of students dread school, there are some who wish for the oncoming school year. Senior Vanessa Beach replied that if school had not started, she would have drove herself into the ground Iloughby building fence. Working is not the only reason for students wanting to attend school. Juniors Pam Jones and Kim Hillenbrand find that school gives them something to do and a chance to see friends. The beginning of school definitely brings frustration and excitement to many students a tending G.C.H.S. Right: Junior Nancy Beach looks off in disbelief as the mercury rises to new heights. A Lot of Things Shared Student Life What is student life all about? In the beginning of the 1983-84 school year students at Grant County High School began to discover what student life really involves. A lot of things are shared during your times spent at high school, whether it is a sim- ple hello from a friend as we walk down the hall or sharing a joke with some classmates. No high school year would be complete without rock-n-roll. This year Michael Jackson as well as Quiet Riot, ZZ Top and Prince seemed to be the craze not only at our school but many others as well. : Smurf ing around is a part of Senior Sherry Rhodes sewing activity. Insert: Friendship at G.C.H.S. brings Seniors Lisa Martin. Chuck McAdams, and Junior Karen Dues closer.

It is a time when students become more independent and face new experiences. During the time spent in high school students need and depend on their friends. Relationships are made between friends of the same and opposite sex that will A Part of Student Life continue many years after we graduate and after everyone has gone their separate ways. The fun times shared throughout high school years are memories kept close in the heart forever. The activities vary from day to day but the fun seems to never stop, and happiness are contributing factors in making school life more enjoyable. !!udenlLife 15 Important to Everyone, Right: Senior Chris White takes a break to have a drink.

Friends Forever Being a part of the crowd is important to everyone, but fit- ting in with the in crowd isn ' t as hard as everyone thinks it is. It makes life a lot easier when you act dumb or goofey around your friends but at least you ' ll comfortable being who you are. People take the word friendship for granted, but you can always m 16 Siudenl Life The In Crowd ' tell your true friends by their loyalty. True friends are rare and we should all value the time we spend with them, especially during our high school years. You can look back at the memories of the fun times that you and your special friends shared at G.C.H.S. Always remember that true friends last forever. Getting Involved! Getting Involved!

Go to a ball game, band competition, try out for school play, or join a club, these are just some of the ac- tivities our school has to of- fer.

Student Life 23 Being a Part of Something Being a part of something is what academics is all about. The classes we choose are pro- jections of ourselves. They prepare us for life and things that interest us. Specialized courses lead us to specialized fields for which we are trained. One of these many special including English, Advanced Math, and Biology are the advances we at G.C.H.S. has made in computer technology. Computer courses have been offered to the students. Many students seem to enjoy these classes because they prepare them for the unknown challenges that college life will bring to them. Things seem to work out with every individuals help. People are what academics are all about. Below: Senior Brian Howard and Juniors Darren Fryman and Steve Fryman take care in doing their experiment.

Seniors Chris Rogers and Greg Marksberry participate in giving and receiving blood for a science project. Gaining Great Knowledge Academics is a large contributing factor in making the student more prepared and aware of the world they will eventually have to face. Gaining great amounts of knowledge helps each individual in col- lege, careers, and life itself. People helping people is how the academic process carries i. Along with the traditional reading, writing, and ' rithmetic, courses are offered to the students to give them a chance to ex- press their creativity, explore their poten- tial, and test themselves. The variety of courses range from Advanced Placement English to Advanced Placement Biology to Calculus, Yearbook to Graphic Arts to General Shop and Home Economics. All these classes plus many more, help the Grant County High School students get a brief education with preparation for the future. Together the students with the teachers ' help, will accomplish this goal. Left: Senior Michelle Middleton shows en- thusiasm in drafting class after a long day.

Tim IWIasIit Acudemics 27 Students Prepare for The advanced departments in school help develop students in the specific area they do well in. The Junior and Senior Advanced Place- ment English classes help prepare students for future college English classes. Taking this class enables students to have an op- portunity to prepare themselves for a test given at the end of the year, which may earn them college credits in English. Advanced Placement Biology is yet another advanced placement program for students whose interests point towards science. They also have the opportunity to take a test which may earn them college credit. These classes are beneficial to students who are planning on exploring one of these fields as careers. This is just one of the many ways that Grant County helps their students further their education for their life ahead.

These schools help students get the education and preparation they need for future occupa- tions. Classes in the Health and Mechanics fields, among others are offered. Another opportunity for students is Co- op. A job is provided for students in- terested with the aid of Mrs. West and Mrs. Brill. Both Vocational Schools and Co-op are great assets for students as they venture out in the world on their own, looking for experience and steadiness in the job of their choice. Training and development are very important for students in their search for future skills. Grant County has continued to show its interest for the students in preparing them for the future by offering such things as vocational train- ing and Co-op.

Nancy WiMoughby Tim U ' ebsler Nancy Willoughby High Tech High Even though Kentucky is not ranked high upon the educational scale, Grant County High School tries hard to keep up with technology. This year a computer math class was added to enhance the classes offered here at G.C.H.S. Many students have signed up for other beneficial courses involving computers, in- cluding Office Procedures and Business Communications for example. Next year the typing II classes will be using com- puters rather than using the electric typewriters that are now available. The classes in math such as Trigonometry, Calculus, and Algebra offer a new opportunity for the graduating seniors to prepare themselves for life ' s ac- complishments that lie ahead. This year new computers and next year ' s added technology will aid in improving Grant County ' s ranking in education. Left: Senior Lisa Martin prepares posters to boost the sales of yearbook.

Lower Right: Freshman Billy Riley stands up during a discussion in class to give his point of view. School: A Time of Mixed Feelings School, a time of mix feelings. Students come to learn. Learn from who? Teachers are there to help students throught the years of the academic learning pro- cess, trying to make it more en- joyable. But this job could never be classified as easy. Most teachers would agree that teaching is sometimes ex- asperating, sometimes unrewar- ding, sometimes almost hopeless. In fact, they might say that sometimes they feel like they are trying to place a square in a circle or ramming their head into a brick wall. But those same teachers would probably say that the positive aspects far outweigh the negative ones. Below: Guidance Counselor Mrs. Brill offers great help to students and parents alike.

Improving Education As school enters into the 1983-84 school year, the superintendent and board members of the Grant County School System try to think of ways of im- proving on the education of the students and the way the system is run. This duty is not just limited to the beginning of school and not just through the nine months of school but is a year round task. The board office purchased a larger bus garage in order to have better conditions for transportation. The new garage was formerly Passerello Hurst car lot which is south of Williamstown. This provides bet- ter excess for all schools in the county. Right: Dr. Otis Reed is Superintendent of schools. Bottom: Gary Henry.

Working Together Cooperation is an all-important factor to the Administrators of Grant County High School. When one looks about the school, ad- ministrators can be found ail- about to do their job more effec- tively. Mrs. Beth Conrad, the front office secretary, handles a variety of problems. She keeps the finan- cial records, answers the phone, bandages the students; overall keeps the office running smoothly. Mr. Gene Wynn is the vice- principal taking the responsibility of the early dismissals, excuses and absences. The guidance counselor, Mrs. JoAnn Brill at- tends to the many duties of the students. With her hectic schedule it would seem that Mrs. Brill would not have time to help with other things, but she always has time to listen to the students and their personal problems. At last but definitely not least is Mr. John Brill, principal of the high school. Mr. Brill deals with student and teacher problems in combination with the school. Together they work to make the best of school. Mr. John Brill, principal, looks at his schedule before he starts another day.

Adminislralinn 2 Teaching Staff Increases In the 1983-84 school year the teachers of G.C.H.S. found that two new teachers were added to the staff to help carry on the process of learning. The first of the two was Mr. Carl Webster, a former principal of G.C.H.S. for IOV2 years. Due to heart problems he was forced to resign. After two years of retirement, he came back to teach English. The second was Mr. Terry Ousley. His task was wat- ching over students in study hall as they further their education. By two new additions be- ing added, G.C.H.S. worked toward the best educational program possible. Together with the help of the teachers, perfection can be achieved.

Striving for Better Education Due to Kentucky ' s low ranking in education, students and teachers need to realize the great value of education. I think G.C.H.S. is slowly achieving this goal, states Mr. Donny Martin. This comment sums up the total picture of school life here at G.C.H.S. Teachers and students alike seem to strive harder for education even though cuts had been found in the budget. With this, it just shows that with a teachers help, an education can be achieved. To make this process more enjoyable, students had the help of many teachers such as Ms. Curtis. When asked what she thought of G.C.H.S. her reply was, Wow! Far out!

Teacher. Behind the Scenes There is more to the scene than just students attending school and being taught by the dedicated teachers. There is more to school than having a group of Administrators laying down the rules and making im- provements to insure things run more efficiently. If one looked closely behind the scenes, they would find a group of truly dedicated people who could be called the backbone of the school. These people present smiles to the students and do their best of making lunch time a pleasant experience. These people are referred to as our cooks. The head of this line is Mrs. Wynn who provides the best nutrition for the students and teachers alike. These peo- ple are the true mechanics of Grant County High School.

Making up the final parts of the efficiency of the high school are the custodians. When students and visitors look upon the pleasant at- mosphere no one seems to think of who is responsible for the cleanness of the school. Long hours are spent before and after school not to mention during the school hours cleaning up after and for the students. Their job at times may seem to be an never-ending battle and frustrating but they always return to their work each day to do their best.

Grant County High School of- fers many different kinds of sports for students in which to participate. The different types include cheerleading, track, cross country, baseball, basket- ball, and golf. Many Grant County High School students are active in sports, and the ones that aren ' t often join in on the fun by attending the events. These different activities pro- vide entertainment and make the school year more enjoyable, more exciting, and more meaningful. Below: Basketball is a favorite sport of many Grant County Students.

But with this year ' s team con- sisting of 3 Seniors, 2 Juniors, and 3 Sophomores, compiled an undefeated record on the home course. After having finished Runners-up in regional com- petition they continued on to the state meet at the Kentucky Horse Park. Mark Kinsey was the leading runner for Grant County. He was 12th in the state. He was also followed by his brother Marlon Kinsey, who finished 21st. Kelli Phillippi came in 10th in the state meet at the Kentucky Horse Park and Angela Adkins came in 25th. All Grant County runners are looking forward to another good year!

They then were up against Bracken Co. in which we were defeated 37-51. The victory over Switzerland Co., 64-36, led us coming home in 3rd place. The girls played an outstanding game against Williamstown at the District Tournament with a whopping 63-19. Unfortunately we weren ' t as lucky March 2nd at the next District game when we fell short to Sc ott County. But that didn ' t hamper our spirits and we placed 2nd in the Districts, which led us to Regional. Players, cheerleaders, and fans were then ready for the journey to Oldham Co. March 9 for a rendezvous with Bullitt East. Even though we were saddened with a 43-24 score, we had a great season and were proud of our girls. Senior Shawnna Webster says I ' ll miss being with everybody and the road trips they were a lot of fun. I won ' t miss running or Mr. Davidson yelling. Senior Gail Hubbard says This year wasn ' t the best, but I did enjoy myself most of the time, especially the thrill of winning and the fun of celebrating. Four years of high school basketball will be hard to forget, but I must look ahead to college. J.V. Wins The Junior Varsity Basketball Team of 1984 consisted of Tim Day, David Shelton, Marlon Kinsey, Mark Kinsey, Steve Knarr, Tim Webster, Jr. Eldridge, Chuck Stephenson, and Gregg Stith. These boys worked hard to bring about a winning record of 17 wins and 5 losses. The starting five for the J.V. Braves were Tim Day, David Shelton, Mark Kinsey, Marlon Kinsey, and Steve Knarr. Junior Tim Day acciden- tally broke his wrist during practice and Sophomore Jr. Eldridge started in his place. Coach Don Martin was very proud of his team and felt that they did an excellent job.

Challeng- ing Year Grant County Girls Junior Varsity opened a season that proved to be another exciting and challenging year with Coach Marcus Camacho. Pendleton Co. was their first opponent for the season, although defeated with a final score 22-28, they put forth their best effort and were determined to make a comeback. Their determination to win proved victorious, for when up against Carrol Co. and Simon Kenton they played outstanding and defeated both schools. Unfortunately the next 3 games we weren ' t so lucky and we fell short to Scott Co., Oldham Co., and Dixie Heights. Traveling cross-county to Williamstown they were up against their rivals the Demonettes. This game was very successful, with a final score of 16- 8. Left in the season were 6 games in which the Squaws lost the first three and ended the season with a winning streak of three games, which tallied the record with 6 wins and 6 losses. They will all be looking forward to the next year when they ' ll move on up to Varsity.

After practic- ing for many weeks, they traveled to U.K. July 5-8 for a camp sponsored by the Universal Cheerleading Association. During camp evaluations, the cheerleaders earned all Superior Ribbons, as well as a Spirit Stick. They also were ranked in the Top 10 Squads of the whole camp. Before the season started, the cheerleaders sponsored a cheerleading clinic for the elementary and middle school cheerleaders. They earned enough money from this project to purchase new uniforms. The new uniforms provided a new look as well as a new peppier atmosphere at games. District Competition was held at G.C.H.S. this year and the Braves ' Cheerleaders won first place, and the right to attend Regional Competi- tion. The Regionals were held at Bullitt Central High School and the G.C.H.S. Cheerleaders did an ex- cellent job by placing 4th out of the 11 squads that competed.

Quality Cheer Leaders The most important quality for a cheerleader is the ability to get along with other squad members. This statement proved true as the 1983-84 Varsity Cheerleading squad gave G.C.H.S. something to remember and be proud of. There are many rules and regulations to follow when being a cheerleader. One of these requirements is attending cheerleading camp as a squad. This year the squad and sponsor attended Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. At camp they acquire many chants, floor cheers, and various routines which assisted them in their season games. Each squad was evaluated every day. Coming home with dignity they brought with them 3 spirit sticks, 3 superior and 3 excellent ribbons. This season was the third year for the KAPOS involving the Girls Varsity Cheerleaders in District Competition. After many hours of practice the girls were proud of their first place trophy they earned in the competition. They were then eligible for Regionals along with Williamstown. They were chosen for the annual Pat Dolly K-Pep Award. This award is given to the squad with the most pep, spirit, and enthusiasm during the season and is selected by all the squads throughout the Region.

They then returned to play Mason Co. in the first round of the regionals in which they were victorious. They then played Lewis in which they gave a valiant effort to a losing cause. The final was 5-3. Leading the team this season, Junior Jeff Stith was chosen most valuable player for his excep- tional batting average. The Braves will return with hopes of a better year.

The normal routine of school just isn ' t enough!! It provides a chance for students to get involved in a certain club, such as Stu- dent Council. They can play volleyball for their clubs, too. And that ' s always fun!! It is the perfect time to let out the frustrations of school. Some clubs, such as FBLA, teach their members about future business occupa- tions and how to prepare for them. People also join clubs to be with others that share the same interest. And if you ' re not athletic, you could always join a club to help pass your time at high school away. Dance attendants take time out to sort through the records for popular selections. - Osborne Studios Below: After a hard day ' s work, Rusty Manning takes time out from Mrs. Spillman ' s Sophomore English class to rest. - Tim Websler Above: Printing pictures for the yearbook is a necessity for staff member Jennifer Caldwell.

' The beginning of the 1983-84 school year brought a one-day seminar to Tumbleweed Inn in Fort Wright, Ky. This trip helped Grantonian staff members to better understand yearbook production. The next goal was to provide a better yearbook by selling ads to local businesses. To help yearbook sales, Georgian Portraits came to our school and gave a slide show production, including photos of GCHS students, to help boost the yearbook orders.

Throughout the year, Granto- nian staff members worked and slaved over Quad-Paks and write-ups to provide a better yearbook for students. Creative minds and lots of patience was a necessity to get through the course. Layouts were drawn up, themes were thought of, and many interviews were done. One of the most important jobs, was taking pictures. Thanks to our educated staff members, photographers, and Georgian Portraits, we present this yearbook!!!

This year some ac- tivities include: collecting money to fix the bathrooms, co-sponsoring the dance-a- thon, having a Softball league, and having exchange students come to tour the school. Student Council enables the students of GCHS to pro- mote their ideas through the student council member, and to help better the school system.

After a little hard work and a lot of sweet talk, Sr. Greg Marksberry walked away with the title. Next, to help produce better surroun- dings, FHA members rolled up their sleeves and used a little elbow grease to provide cleaner bus service. To help make Grant County a place of fitness, Sponsors Pat Boggs and Karen Davidson, held Aerobics classes two nights a week for six weeks. Throughout the year, FHA made babysitting services available to those who wanted to watch the ball games without the worry of young children. - Osborne Studios Front Row: Andrea Thompson, Jeni Toole, Bernie Stivers, |oy Simpson, Sonia Randall, Darrin Vance, Mary Grey, Patti O ' neil, Barb Stet- ter.

Pep rallies are great with the cheerleaders leading Brave ' s fans into spirit!! Near the end of the year, the Pep Club took a bus to the regional tournament at Henry Co., Ky. The burning of the Demon at the Bonfire was to help everyone to get psyched up before the game against Williamstown. The spirit chain went to the juniors, who had the most pep and school spirit. Most everyone participated in buying the links for the chain. The money went to better finance the club. Left to Right: Tim Simpson, V. -President; Jennifer Rodgers.

Robbie Stone, the Brave mascot, and Tracy Morgan, the Squaw ' s mascot help keep the crowd rowdy at the games. They kept the spirit going for Braves ' fans. The suc- cess of this club is due to the work put in by sponsors Pat Boggs and Patty Noel. The hard work and enthusiasm of dedicated club members aided in a successful club. Above: At a ball game.

The 1983-84 Spanish Club, spon- sored by Mrs. Lillard, has done a few activities this year. They have once again indulged in good food with their taco party and Christmas party. At the Christmas party, students exchang- ed gifts and ate cake. To get students more aware of Spanish customs, Mrs. Lillard divided an invitation pinata which in reality was a bucket filled with candy. Spanish Club members held a skating party at Williamstown, to celebrate their success. All in all, the year was great for the Spanish Club. Learning Foreign Cultures Back Row: |. Spicer. ).

Music The Grant County Mar- ching Band began its 1983 season on October 10 at the Bath County Competition. It was a tense time for everyone, especially the freshmen, who were wonder- ing what their first competi- tion would be like. It didn ' t take long to find out, because in minutes, the music started and the marching began. Trophies!! When the trophy an- nouncements were made, Grant County had placed third! During the season, the band went to Ashland, Mason County, Butler, Lex- ington Lions Club, and Washington County. They brought home a trophy from almost every competition they went to!!!

The concert band involves a lot of hard work to prepare for the Christmas presentation. As soon as that is done, they start work- ing on their spring concert. The band is a big part of school spirit. Pep band also helps to boost school spirit at ball games. People heard familiar tunes like Go Big Blue, the Wardance, and they also heard the new school song. - Jennifer Caldwell Endless hours in the hot summer sun Freshman Chandra Poteet, stands ready to Freshman Missy Clemons, awaits her cue turns Soph.

Grant County Offers Opportunity Grant County School offers many opportunities for students, to help them get experienced for the future. A few are Vocational School, Co-Oping, and being an Aid for a faculty member. Going to a Vocational School enables students to learn a specific trade and develop their skills, for a headstart in life. Students that Co-Op leave school early, and go to a job assigne d to them by Mrs. West. This helps in the search of a job, and gives valuable experience. A few students help out with errands to be done for teachers, and in the office. These aides make the burden lighter and their help is appreciated. All of these activities together are a great asset for students at Grant County. - Osborne Studios Bottom Row: Denisa Williams, Connie Simpson, Chris Lay, Lori Wainscott.

Modern Farming inFFA Front: Kim Hillenbrand, Sec; Mike Rodgers, V Pres.; Tony Claypool, Sentinel; Butch Stronj Treasurer; Heath Barnes, Reporter; E Gatewood, Pres. FFA is an organization that helps students to better understand farming of 80 ' s. This club also teaches students the proper techni- ques for producing a better crop. This year students par- ticipated in the raising and caring for tobacco crops. Another project they mastered was the assembly of the corn planters. This took a lot of understanding and intellectual comprehen- sion. To take a break from their farming duties, FFA members undertook the task of welding. This proved to be a mechanical challenge. Thanks to careful guidance from Mr. Howard and Mr. Courts, the members of this club are on their way to being a new generation of Farmer Browns. - OsbornrSlu.dm Top Row: M. Rodgers, T. Claypool, R.

Their main achievements for the year, among others, was a presentation of Neil Simon ' s Come Blow Your Horn. Drama Club offers a chance for cultural enrich- ment in Grant County, something we are in desperate need of. This enables people to travel a shorter distance in search of entertainment. Act I Productions is a prize opportunity for people to en- joy the Arts in this community. Two members of Drama Club, Mollie Brewsaugh and Tony Colson, and a non-member, Becky Noel, entered a competition in the Kentucky High School Speech League at N.K.U. March 3rd. After performing, (a scene and a radio-television broadcast), they placed in the top six out of 29 teams.

Activities Enhance Student Life Activities play a big role in student life at GCHS. The Variety Show, sponsored by Miss Curtis, was a big hit. It in- cluded comedy skits, with the characters portrayed by Speech and Drama club members. Another big success was the Easter Program, in which many students expressed their feel- ings about Easter. No high school year would be complete without a Prom. This year, the Continental Inn, located in Lex- ington, Ky., provided the setting for the 1983-84 Prom.

Mollie Brewsaugh and David Damron read scripture telling of the story of how Christ died for us.

A time of decisions. Deciding on a career, a voca- tion, a college, etc. The Senior year is a time of joy that the twelve years of school will soon be over vet there is sorrow, for each person entering into a new future leaving acquainted friends to make new. After leav- ing, many friendships will con- tinue while others will end. One can look ahead on what ' s to come. Memories of laughter, good conversation comes, to mind.

Decisions, Decisions . . . Being a junior is a time for making many decisions and taking on responsibilities. Preparing for the prom is a main event for juniors, facing the decision on the theme, song, and colors of the Junior-Senior Prom. The Junior prom committee also decides the location of the prom as well as who will be there to entertain. This is a very difficult task because the committee has to please all th e students for it may be a memorable occasion and they will cherish it forever. Finding jobs and finishing our education are two of the main challenges of the world today. To help us finish our education for that special oc- cupation, we may have in mind. GCHS had a career day for juniors and seniors. Many classmates became well acquainted with the col- lege in which they are plan- ning to attend. Others made up their minds by talking to others.

The class of 85 kept their tradition of showing spirit by winning the spirit chain for the second consecutive year. The spectators were enter- tained by our high school band and our cheerleaders. The tremendous event celebrated at the bon-fire was the ball game between the Grant County Braves and the Williamstown Demons. To emphasize the rivalry we had the burning of a demon, which was thrown in the fire by Senior Chris Spillman.

They are used to and familiar with high school life, but there was still so much to look forward to, and still so much to discover about GCHS and themselves. The newness of high school has worn off, but graduation and their senior year still seems so far away. Sophomores are able to look back at their first year and remember all the fond memories. They can look back on what they have learned and look into the future at what is to come. The year is brightened with club activities, school dances, candy sales, basket- ball games, and the ordering of their Senior rings. Sudden- ly, the sophomore year does not seem so dull to many Sophomore students. R 3s pi WW ft w A fa P 7 ! Adams, Robbie Ad kins, Angela Anderson, Kim Andes, Barbara Asher, Rodney Baker.

Todd SSkRN ' a 2 Sophomores: Working Hard For many sophomore students their second year of high school at GCHS can be difficult. New opportunities to apply themselves in harder classes are available. This year many sophomore students ' schedules consisted of geometry, biology, trigonometry, typing, English, and World history. Studying was the answer to earning good grades in their difficult classes. When tenth graders were asked what they would remember about their sophomore year, the replies in- cluded the following: ... I will will never forget of all the spirit that the class of ' 84 ' has this year!!! — Christina Fan- nin. , . . my sophomore year has been my most challeng- ing year. — Rick Marquardt. . . . The boom of Michael Jackson ' s Thriller album. — Lanette Woodyard. 2 . ■ ■ Lh i tJ M 4j± a m ft ™ Gray, Mary Gulick. Angle Haubnex. Doug Hausberger. |oe Herzog, David Hoffman, Tony Howe.

Making money was what President Robie Adams, Vice President Christy Howe, Secretary Treasurer Summer LaWarre, and Sergeant-at-Arms Dennis Stecht had on their minds for the Sophomore Class. The officers and Advisor Mrs. Lillard ' s goal was to get an early start in making money for their Junior-Senior Prom. To earn the money they need- ed, the class officers, along with the rest of the class, set out to sell candy with a goal of $1,920 profit in mind. On February 2, the sophomores started their candy sales by having a meeting in the gym and passing out plain and peanut M M ' s as well as candy bars. Positive thoughts, and a lot of hard work and determina- tion are what made the candy sales so successful. mm ?™ Rodgers, Jennifer Rodriguez. Kim Roland.

This was a new beginning and a great ex- perience for the newcomers. Now they realized that it was time to face up to reality and take part in school activities. Of course, there was time to have fun, but they had to work hard, too. High school years are the very best. The four years are very important because they reflect on the future and could determine what kind of job you receive. Being a Freshman is difficult at first, because you are new and just getting used to the territory. Many Freshmen dread coming to high school while otehrs are enthusiastic about it such as Jennifer Caldwell and Sherry Good. They said that It was a new experience, one of our many, and it ' s great to be a member of the Class of ' 87! Adams, Bryan Adams, Tony Adkins, Craig Afterkirk, Kim Alexander.

You make new friends and have a blast. There are new experiences which are good, but some just don ' t seem to be the best. Freshmen have got to remember that up- perclassmen look down on lowerclassmen, but everyone goes through that. Just thinking about becoming a Sophomore, Junior, and then a Senior is something to look forward to. Freshmen get to do a lot more things now than in their previous years. There are many exciting activities and clubs to take part in while the journey of high school begins. Iff ' 1 mm i-t unon a Gordon. Donald Gordon. Francis Gordon.

Participation of the wedding ceremony was formed by the 3 Marriage Prep, classes.
