Promises of Progress In his book 1984, George Orwell predicted the year to be full of darkness and no freedoms. To many, it seemed as though the year would never arrive. However, nineteen eighty-four is here. Our year is not as Orwell predicted it would be. It is a year full of promises of progress, not pain. Nineteen eighty-four is composed of the dreams of tomorrow and hopes for today. The events of our year demonstrate the progress that has been made since Orwell’s time. Tomorrow could hold Orwell’s 1984, or it could hold the same promises of progress that have made today. Jesse Jackson (left) became the first black man to run for president. Although he was defeated in the democratic primary, Jackson had an excellent showing in many states. United States Marines were sent to Lebanon in November ’83 to help unite the country and insure peace. When their efforts brought about no change, Congress brought the Marines home in March 1984.

Memories Homecoming ... It brings to mind the hilarious excitement of Spirit Week, parades, and hours of fun, fellowship and float-building. Then there’s the scheming that goes into finding a dance date. And, ail those tests fall inevitably into that one hectic week! But regardless of imagery, Homecoming is always “memory material.” September 23, 1983, will always send sweet memories to Queen Bonnie Dunn. Candidates Lu Burgin, Sheri Smith and Bonnie Dunn stepped onto the field to the song “Truly.” In a haze of flooding light, a sparkling tiara was placed upon Bonnie’s head by 1982 Queen Debbie Ingram Roses in hand, Bonnie stood in rare speechlessness before the picture parade, and embracing began. Although losing painfully to Lincoln County (21-7), the seniors were again victorious in the float contest! Be it parties, parades, duties or dances. Homecoming is one tradition of which high school memories are made. Oh, the glamour of a Homecoming parade! 1982 Queen Debbie Ingram, Jennifer Sima and Derek Johnson ride up sunny Main Street. Holding fast to Bob Baughman’s supporting arm, candidate Sheri Smith proceeds up the 50 yard line. In the limelight of Homecoming ’83 stand candidate Lu Burgin and escort Milward Dedman. “M'A’S'H PATRIOTS!” exclaims the seniors’ winning float. The Class of ’84 wins a third title! 8—Opening
