GHS triumphs 14-13 at Homecoming contest A parade down Main Street to Black Field preceded the 1984 Homecoming game. Fans packed the bleachers long before the game commenced. Lakewood was a tough opponent for the first three quarters of the game, but in the last few seconds of the fourth quarter GHS triumphed 14-13. During the game it appeared as if the Jackets might win the statistics battle but lose the war, after Lakewood got ahead 7-6 in the second quarter. With renewed determination, the Jackets regained the lead with a late 4th quarter drive from their own 43 to score with 5:56 remaining. The touchdown was made by Tom Hal-lock on a crucial fourth and one play at the Lakewood goal line. Mike Adams passed the ball to Jeff Hopkins on the extra-point attempt, giving Greenville two points and the margin of victory. During halftime 70 Greenville Senior High School Band Alumni, from 1946 through 1984 returned to march and play with the GHS band. The alumni band was led by former head majorette of 25 years ago, Rita Huffman, and former band director Art Gorman. Presented as class representatives were Sophomores Craig Averill and Shannon Reissen, Juniors Steve Laurent and Cherie Rasmussen, Seniors Tom Kohley and Lynne Olsen. Mike Johnson and Amy Warriner were crowned King and Queen by Grand Marshalls Brent Rasmussen and Lee Anderson. Class floats were judged by Mr. Mrs. Clark Oliver, Mrs. Terry Slocum, and Mr. Carl Barberi. Juniors placed first, the Sophomores took second, and the Senior were disqualified for putting their float together before arriving at the judges stand. Homecoming 1984 concluded with the King and Queen reigning over the festivities at the Homecoming Dance the following evening, as 80 couples danced to ‘Jam Pacts’ beat in the Middle School cafeteria.

Teachers, staff also dress up, ham it up Classrooms were filled with anticipation for the week of Halloween. One goal of the Student Council was to promote and acknowledge teacher participation and efforts. This ranged from supporting extracurricular activities to dressing up for Halloween. Often teachers were asked to give up their spare time, to chaperone dances or to get involved in various everyday activities. This included clubs, sporting events, and often humiliating tasks, such as dressing up as Santa’s reindeer during the Christmas assembly. Numerous teachers allowed themselves to be caught up in the holiday spirit. At Halloween many dressed up in costumes in everything from a bug, to a member of the opposite sex. The costumes were worn throughout the entire day and were judged during fifth hour. Judged to be the three best outfits were, Mr. Green as a bug, Mrs. Gress as a motorcycle momma “complete with leather attire,” and Mrs. Smith as a rock star. Christmas time was another festive holiday at GHS. The activities began in the morning with the judging of the Christmas decorations in the first hour classrooms. Miss Dewey's room took first place and Mr. Taylor’s room was runner-up. As the day continued there were numerous donut runs and other surprise treats brought into the classrooms. The teachers were great in making the Christ- mas season fun and festive. To acknowledge and thank the teachers for their contributions outside and inside the classroom, a Teacher of the Month program was established. Each month the student council members nominated various teachers who were “outstanding.” A vote was taken and a teacher was picked. The chosen teacher was given a certificate of achievement and was recognized over the announcements as teacher of the month. 14
