In the years to come, it won't be the lecture notes that students will remember; it will be the note about weekend plans passed behind the teacher's back. It won't be the Homecoming theme; it'll be the faulty spotlight that burned out in the middle of the ceremony. It won't be the test; it will be the previous night's study-gossip session over at a friend's house. Twenty years from now, will you remember the Prom theme, the name of the musical, or who won that important homecoming game? Probably not. It's not the big things that are remembered, it’s the trivial moments that make memories what they are.

Homecoming Week Students chanted, drums kept cadence, and the referee’s whistle signaled the start of the game between Highland and Triad. It was Homecoming 1984. The victory of 28-6 was one of the climactic events during the week. Throughout the week of October 15, the Student Council planned activities around the theme ‘Meet Me in St. Louis. ’ Competitive games involving zany activities, such as rowing a wagon across the commons and racing to see who could eat the most ice cream, kept students occupied over lunch hours. The traditional powderpuff game on Tuesday night featured the senior powderpuff cheerleaders who competed for the 1984 powderpuff queen, and the senior girls who took the title of 1984 powderpuff champs. The Southern Illinois Audio Sound and Light Show provided music for Thursday night's sock hop, while Friday a pep rally including the crowning of Ben Hanna as powderpuff queen and a successful game over Triad, left only the crowning of the king and queen at Coronation Saturday night to end the fast-paced week. 1 Accepting his crown, Ben Hanna, the new powderpuff queen, rejoices with exciternent. Chris Loyet and Scott Heinz compete for champion of the ice cream eating contest. Paula East smiles while concentrating on her half-time routine.
