She ac- cepts the congratulations after being crowned by last year's queen, Tamera Majors, while Greg Burzell looks on during the halftime ceremony. It was Indian Summer for the longest time, and then mercifully two days before the Homecoming festivities commenced, it turned off cool, and our fall celebration began to feel like fall. During halftime of the Homecoming game, the court was presented, and the maids of honor -- Nancy Cashion and Denise Ford were honored. Lori Singer was chosen as the 1984 Homecoming queen. The Exchange club won first prize in the Homecoming projects contest, and their sister club, the Exchangettes, took second place with their castle depicting the theme - Up Where We Belong.

Newly crowned queen Lori Singer dances with her escort Greg Burzell as the court share a special dance to Up Where We-Be- Iong. Lori was crowned during half-time the night before. A Cool One. Homecoming queen Lori Sing- er and her date Jeff Sural take time out from the festivities to enjoy a coke and a smile before returning to the crowded dance floor and the booming music. We came home to a newly land- scaped campus, to the buildings which were the symbol of Grimsley. ln return- ing we found that our principal was engaged, and that we had a new foot- ball coach. There were new faces of sophomores and a new season for the boys soccer team. Buses still drove the same routes and people parked where they had always parked. Indian summer stretched before us infinitely, it seemed, with only one ephemeral cold snap in early October. The weather turned finally around the 1st of November, just in time for our tradi- tion of homecoming. We lost our homecoming game, which was NOT played in the rain. Alumni returned from state colleges to join our celebra- tiong Tamera Majors was on hand to crown Lori Singer as the 84-85 home- coming queen. Our dance was held on November 3, a Saturday, and the turn- out was great as Whlrlies joined the festivities of returning to Grimsley and being up where we belonged. Stepping in. Chris Tatum and Sheri Toler step through the doorway and into the mag- ic that was Homecoming 1 984. All GHS stu- dents enjoyed being being atop the world during a night of special celebration. Stepping off a cloud. Being up where we belong can be a little intoxicating, so cou- ples like Scott Jones and his date take time to step off the cloud and come down to earth for some refreshments downstairs in the auxiliary gym.
