Her love for Hiwassee won Tan- gela Arnwine the position of Most School Spirited. Sharing this title with Tangela is Tommy Halcomb who was unavailable for the photo session.

Terri Cannon and Kenny Johnson :•£ ved Most Courteous because of their : -ghtfulness for other people. Gin Weikel tre Phil Barnes were named Wittiest for -e r zany ways of making people laugh. Lisa : : ng was chosen as Most Talented for her - r-tiful singing voice. Paul Parrott was also -.ected for his musical talent, but was un- able to have his picture made. Outstanding personalities and their special efforts to get along with others makes it easy to see why Charlie Hicks and Donna McClure are the Friendliest. Both being outstanding athletes, as well as good sports, won Lawrence Mitch- ell and Vicki Woods the title of Most Athle- tic. The Shyest of the Sophomore class are Dwayne Torbett and Jamie Martin. Kim Howard and Jeff Wadley were named as the Most Likely to Succeed because of their ability to get ahead in classes and in their participation in school activities. Each year superlatives are chosen here at Hiwassee. A few members of the Sopho- more class are recognized for outstanding accomplishments or attitudes while they at tend Hiwassee. The decisions are made by the popular vote of the entire student boc . The recipients of these positions should be proud to represent Hiwassee for the cate- gory in which they were picked.

Amburgey has served Hiwassee College for almost twenty-nine .ears, first as academic dean for twenty-five - ears, and then as president for almost four years. During his tenure at Hiwassee he played a role in the initial accreditation of the co ege. was actively involved in helping to :•£ . eiop the master plan for the campus, and - planning new facilities for the college. In : e years he served as academic dean, the faculty was upgraded considerably with : ifications reaching new heights and the curriculum underwent major improvement. During the short term that Dr. Amburgey served as president many improvements “A Special Person” were made at the college. Among the more noteworthy achievements was the establish- ment of the computer science program, en- ergy conservation measures including the construction of the wood burning furnace, and the Cora Veal Living Center. Dr. Amburgey has been active in educa- tional and civic affairs. He has been appoint- ed by two different governors to serve on state health planning boards and has served on the Executive Committee of the Tennes- see Council of Private Colleges. He is cur- rently one of fifty-five members serving on the commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools which is the regional accreditation agency for the Southeastern United States. Dr. Amburgey holds the Associate degree from Hiwassee College, a Bachelor’s degree from Emory and Henry College, a Master’s degree from the University of Virginia and the Doctor’s degree from the University of Tennessee. Because of failing health, Dr. Amburgey was advised by medical authorities to retire from the presidency. The Board granted his request which was effective in the latter part of January, 1984. His work and dedication to Hiwassee have been and will be greatly appreciated for many years to come. This has been a year of unsettled change for the President’s here at Hiwassee. The year started with Dr. James H. Amburgey in his fourth year as president. Because of serious “edical problems, he was advised to retire. In his place came B.D. Benton who is presently the Vice President for -development. Mr. Benton will serve as a temporary president --t i the newly elected president takes his seat in July, 1984. r.e president-elect, Dr. Curtis Schofield, is a minister from the . _ er United Methodist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. - w s chosen from a select group of candidates which also tciuded Mr. Benton. he one person who has survived all the uncertainty of - ' e events is the president’s secretary, Mrs. Ernestine Lucas. - - has been a faithful and steadfast person which may have overlooked throughout the year because of the other - nts Although many changes have been made, it can be i - that Hiwassee has remained a strong institution. Development Office Mrs. Judy Patterson Secretary Mr. B.D. Benton Vice President for Development The Vice President for Development, Mr. B.D. Benton, has been at Hiwassee for 31 years. He started as an Industrial Education teacher, later went on to be the Director of Public Relations, and then became the Vice President for Development and has remained so ever since. Mr. Benton is originally from Virginia. He received his A. A. degree from Hiwassee College and his B.S. degree from East Tennessee State University. He also has an M.A. degree in Educational Administration and Industrial Education. Other than serving as Vice President for Development, he serves as host to campus visitors, Director of Public Relations, and Director for Alumni. He is also the acting President until our new president takes office in July, 1984. Mr. Benton also has a very able person who helps keep his office running smoothly. This person is Judy Patterson, his secretary. Together, these two work very hard in order to do their very best for Hiwassee. Business Office When most people think of a college, they think of students, faculty, recruiters, books, sports, and other things of this nature. But, behind each college is a business office which takes care of all the financial transactions. Hiwassee is no exception. Hiwassee has a very capable business manager in Mr. Eugene Kiger who is backed by a well- qualified assistant, Mr. William Coffelt. Also pulling their share of the load are Mrs. Jackie Coley and Mrs. Anna Sue Huff. Hiwassee can rest assured that its business affairs are dealt with very carefully by this fine staff. Mr. Eugene Kiger Business Manager Mr. William Coffelt Assistant Business Manager Mrs. Jackie Coley Bookkeeper Cashier Mrs. Anna Sue Huff Bookkeeper Academic Dean Another changing position at Hiwassee this year “as been the position of Academic Dean. Dr. Wil- am Knight was here for the Fall Quarter before -.e accepted another position at a school in North Carolina. Dr. Knight served Hiwassee as Aca- demic Dean for three and a half years. He was also a sponsor for the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Frater- - ty and he taught a class in public speaking. He is a very well-educated and intelligent person whose work at the college will long be remembered and missed. Filling in as acting Academic Dean is Coach Dor.nie Jenkins. Besides being Academic Dean, he is also the coach for the men’s basketball team. He teaches classes in Health and Physical Education. Coach Jenkins will continue to be Dean of Aca- demics until a permanent replacement is found. Until then, we know he will do a great job. The one who has kept the entire Dean’s Office running smoothly is secretary, Diana Kilby. Some- times she has a lot to handle trying to help every- one in the office, but she always manages to do an excellent job. Coach Donnie Jenkins Dean of Academics | Dr. William Knight Former Academic Dean ' e Dean of Students has many responsi- ties to MM at Hiwassee and Dean Bill - i-igherty does a great job of doing this, “e tries to help each and every student “ problems concerning academic or even :- sonal matters. He takes the time to learn students’ names who come to Hiwas- aI ° n 9 with arranging extra-curricular ac- ' - :es for their entertainment. Aside from all of this, Dean Daugherty roaches the Lady Tigers Softball team and ' •es as sponsor to the Student Govern- Association and to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. -As you can see Dean Daugherty has his is full, but it takes someone special like to 9 rcat i°b that he does. Also in the Dean’s Office is Mrs. Evelyn - rock who is the Director of Adult Con- - - ng Education. Mrs. Laycock is off cam- a lot because of her affiliation and many duties with the Holston Conference, but when she is around, she always has a smile and a kind word for everyone. The Registrar, Mrs. Barbara Butler, is an- other whose office is located in the Dean’s Office. She is one who is also very busy especially at the beginning of each quarter getting everyone’s grades ready and posting transcripts. She manages to keep everything on course and running smoothly. Last, but not least, is the man-of-all-trades for Hiwassee. Larry Dial is seen doing a little bit of everything. Aside from his main job of student counseling, he runs the printing press, he serves as emcee for nearly all spe- cial student programs, he helps a lot back- stage for the plays which are presented by Hiwassee, and he participates in many, many other activities on campus. It is easy to see why he is so well-liked by the students and his fellow-workers. Dean Of Students Far Left: Mr. Bill W.

Dial Student Counselor Admissions Ms. Janice Blair Admissions Secretary Mrs. Elizabeth Papa Director of Admissions Mrs. Rebecca Bell Admissions Counselor Mr. William Bell Admissions Counselor Mrs. Lisa Easterling Admissions Counselor Have you ever wondered just how Hiwassee always manages to get so many students from so many different places? Well, much of this is due to Hiwassee’s very dedicated and hard-working Admissions Staff. Extreme effort and time are put into their recruiting. Admissions counselors, Rebecca Bell, William Bell, and Lisa Easterling, spend a lot of their time on the road. They visit high schools and set up booths in places such as shopping malls in order to interest prospective stu- dents in Hiwassee. Also on the road recruiting is Mrs. Elizabeth Papa, the Director of Admissions. Mrs. Papa also holds Visitation Days at Hiwassee for prospective students and plans many other recruiting tactics. Holding the fort at the of- fice is Ms. Janice Blair. Ms. Blair is also capable of encouraging new re- cruits as well as taking care of the “paperwork” in the office. No won- der Hiwassee always seems to maintain a good show of new stu- dents each year with such a fine Admissions Staff. Financial Aid Scholarships, SEOG, BEOG. GSL’s, Work Study. „d the list goes on These may not be familiar to you. but to V- Kon Hemphill this is everyday jargon. Being the Finance A,- Director, Mr. Hemphill is the one who determines “how much what each student may receive in the way of financial ax: His office is a busy one year ’round as students are always trying to reduce their bills by one way or another Th ' where the Financial Aid secretary comes in. Mrs. Tamrr Rausm takes care of what she can, then sees that the others are attended to by Mr. Hemphill. It takes a secretary like V- Kausin, who is on her toes, to manage this office.

Library Bookstore Head Residents The position of Head Resident is sometimes overlooked as an important part of Hiwassee’s staff. Head Residents shoulder several responsibilities and many times their jobs aren’t easy. Being responsible for close to one hundred students and seeing that the dorms are properly maintained are typical examples of the duties of the Head Residents. Hiwassee is lucky to have responsible and caring people to head the four dormitories on campus. They are: Top Left — Petita Rickard, Allison Hall. Top Right — Mary Janeway, Brock Hall.

We have a great crew of maintenance workers who see that the grounds are neatly manicured and that the buildings are also kept clean. The head of the maintenance department is Mr. Tommy Carpenter who is pictured to the right. The rest of this fine crew is pictured below.

The SGA sponsors many activities for the students. Some of these include movies which are shown twice a month, the Homecoming Dance and Homecoming Week activities, and the Spring Formal. These are only a few of the many things SGA provides for Hiwassee students. This year Dean Bill Daugherty, SGA sponsor, was backed by a great president, Miss Cyndi Sluder. Cyndi’s co-horts, Donna McClure (Secretary-Treasurer) and Terri Cannon (Vice-president) also played a big part in making the Student Government Association such a strong success this year. Organization Of International Students Hiwassee has always been known for its large number of foreign students. The Organization for International Students was formed especially for this purpose. It serves as a way to get our international friends more involved in campus activities. The OIS main event, which they sponsor annually, is the Spring Beauty Pageant. This year the pageant was a tremendous success and many students turned out either to participate in the contest itself or just to spectate. Dr. Clarence McCall, OIS sponsor, organized the pageant and also helped the international students, in many other ways. Although these may be a minority group, they play a big role in campus life and are loved by all students here at Hiwassee. Standing: Chiuya, Seiko, and Masaki Seated: Penthip The Club of the Year! This pretty well sums up the Circle K of Hiwas- see College. Being a service organi- zation, the Circle K provides many services here on campus as well as in the community. This year they spon- sored a MEDIC blood drive, they took a group of students to help with the Special Olympics in Athens. TN and they also had a haunted house ir. Madisonville for Halloween which was opened to the public. Under the leadership of Kent Millwood, the Cir- cle K accomplished many great things this year and truly deserves :s title as the Club of the Year. front to rear: Missy Wright, Paula Elmore, Jeff Wadley, Richard Watson, Todd McConkey, Sherri McConkey, Jamie Martin, Charlie Hicks, Joe Van Cleave Life Service Travel Team meeling: Charlie Wimmer, Julie Adams, Mike Thrasher, Paula Elmore, Penny lathis, Jeff Wadley, standing: Charlie Hicks, Gin Wiekel, John Edwards, Rich ird Watson, Missy Wright, Jamie Martin, Rev.

Jordan, with the talent of Michael Clark at the keyboards, the Hiwassee Chorale began an exciting year. This was the year for a good choir and this was exactly what Hiwassee got. The annual tour was given in March, touring parts of VA, NC, TN and GA. As usual the reviews were excellent. One of the most important events for the choir was the presentation of the “Messiah” in December, this also included members of the community, faculty staff and alumni. The choir adds to the spiritual life on campus with their involvement in the weekly chapel services and church ser- vices. The choir also serves as an excellent recruiting force for the college. Hiwassee Chorale Loys Jordan, Director Shalom mJtr ClaI Ta u e . n emb,e ! rom Hiwass ee’s chorale is called Orpheus. This unique blend of male voices is led by Maestro Loys Jordan and made up of a select few from the choir.

But, the Home Economics Club proved to be one of the most active clubs on the Hiwassee campus despite its small size. With help from their sponsor, Mrs. Beth Howard, the Home Economics Club spon- sored many activities and fund raisers. During the final exam weeks, they held bake sales. The money made from this was used to fur- nish the Monroe County Health Department with a child restraint seat. Also during the year, the Home Economics Club held a Female Awareness Program at which Dr. Barbara Levin lectured on female health problems. So, in spite of its small size, the Home Economics Club proved to be one of the more active clubs here at Hiwassee. Home Economics Club M ssy Wright.

The Christian Student Movement, better known by Hiwassee students as CSM, is a special organization which provides spiritual opportunities such as retreats, weekly prayer meetings, and various activities designed for spiritual growth. CSM meets weekly at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel on Wednesdays and is led out by Reverend Jerry Russell, Mr. Roger Hill, who is in charge of music, and student, Jeff Wadley, who is the CSM President.

Randy Grizzle, Dawn Best, Carol Tuft, Jo Ann Craig, and Henrietta Newport. This year some changes were made in the ■ay the yearbook staff is organized. Before, t had been like a club that met at certain tr-es during the school year. But, this year, Yearbook’ is offered as a class for credit. This has made the staff positions more spe- oa_-zed and should make for a much im- proved yearbook overall. The staff this year ka s endowed with many talented individuals who worked together to make this book what it is. With the help of sponsor, Mr. Roger Hill, and the leadership of Editor, Micki Graham, the staff worked extra hard to try to put together the memories of the school year of 1983-1984. The staff and their positions are: Micki Graham, Editor; Prissy Plemons, Associate Editor; Henrietta Newport, Class Editor; Jo Ann Craig, Stu- dent Life Editor; Scott Howard, Sports Edi- tor; Joe Van Cleave, Asst. Sports Editor; Carol Tuft, Faculty Staff Editor; Wayne Carey, Asst.

These words accurately describe the ’83-’84 cheerleading squad. Full of life and the Hiwassee Spirit, they cheered us on to higher plains than we could have imagined. Always smiling, even when we might have been down a few points, they led the charge in many a comeback victory. No one could ever question their beauty. Just a picture or two can convince one of that. Energy. They emitted enough of that to power the campus for a year. Put those together with everything else and it adds up to vivaciousness. Sponsor Lucy Dail, and co-captains Sharon Dykes and Kathy Taylor, did a great job of leading this year’s squad. 87 Standing: Head Coach Donnie Jenkins, John Mason, Tommy Davis, Nathan Buchanan, Greg Lockhart, Keith Brown, Jerry Mostiller, Eddie Farmer, James Chapman, and Asst.

That’s what the ’83-’84 Tigers did this year. Finishing with a record of 23 and 6, they proved once again that Hiwassee is one of the nation’s best. Coached by Donnie Jenkins, their presence struck fear into the hearts of many an opponent. Paced by All-American Lawrence Mitchell, Hiwassee scored a total of 2,406 points, with an average of 83 points per game. Leaving no doubt as to their ability, the Tigers headed north for Padukah, Kentucky. Outdistancing Motlow State, Padukah, And Lindsay-Wilson, they became Region Champs. Next target: South Eastern Illinois. Although losing by one point to Wabash Valley, the Hiwassee Tigers ended their season with a Special Pride. r 1983-1984 Men’s Schedule Opponent Them Sue Bennet 77 Draughn’s 73 Sue Bennett 80 Snead State 86 Draughn’s 89 Berry 57 Maryville 74 Snead State 66 Gadsden State 75 Berry 58 Maryville 75 Motlow State 57 Morristown 75 Cleveland 80 Chatt.

The ’83-’84 Lady Tigers didn’t. With eleven wins and fourteen losses, they were always alive. Even after a loss, one could not say they were dead on the court. Every minute of every game, every game of the season was jam-packed with energy and excitement. Coach Jack Teeter and his captains, Angie Upton and Vicki Woods, led the Lady Tigers to the beginning of respectability. Coach Teeter feels that in the seasons to come that Hiwassee will be just as strong in women’s basketball as any of the other sports played here. This is an easy statement to make if one saw them in action this year. Paced by Diane Renfro, with 363 points, and Vicki Woods’ 264 rebounds, the rest of the team easily followed suit with hard work and determination. Team spirit was high and this was transmitted to the many fans that poured in to watch the games. Opposing teams had better be ready to fight for every point for we have proven that “Hiwassee Never Dies!” Standing: Team Assistant Carol Tuft. Sheila Petty, Sheila Whitehead. Angie Upton.

Competitive Tigers Are Improving . Th .! as fe ears have n0 brought much prosperity to Hiwassee baseball. Finishing on or near the bottom, the outlook was not bright as the season drew near.

Coach Jack Teeter, in only his second year says that this is the year we became competitive, and that next year’s goal is to be able to compete with the top of the league. “Teams like Cleveland State, Roane State, and Walter State are the elite, and next year we want to, and can, play on their level.” Looking over this year ' s year mP ,ShmentS ’ t0 understand the expectations for next Greg Jump, captain and winner of the Thouroughbred Award, pro- vided staunch leadership and experience, while scoring 38 runs the 1 ° S, ° n ‘ h f ,eam The rest of ' he honors went to freshmen.

Lady Tigers Reign Over Tennessee In Madisonville, softball means Lady Tigers, and Lady Tigers mean winning. Since Lady Tiger Softball began, they have proven themselves synonymous with victory. Sound- ing a victory cry 45 times out of 47 games this year, Hiwassee was good enough to cop the State Championship and place seventh in the Nationals. Anchored by a stellar defense and player flexibility, coaches Daugherty and Hemphill led the Lady Tigers through a tough and demanding season, only to emerge victorious. Believe it, or not, Coach Daugherty feels that they were even better than their near perfect record indi- cates. Losing only twice, each time by one run, they came back to beat those opponents in their next meeting. This could be termed as consistency. Consistency. It’s what every team strives for. It’s what few teams earn. Yes, earn is the correct word. Consistency is not a gift, but the result of individual players meshing together to form a team. A team that moves like clock- work. It cannot happen on the first day of practice. Nor the second. Nor even the third. It may happen by the first game, but it can’t be proven until the last. When the dust clears, and the results are in, you find the few, the tough, the proud, the consistent ones. This year, as in years past, when the dust had settled, the Lady Tigers had shown a nation what each one of them had known all along; that Hiwassee is number 1. From the first game to the last, they left no doubt as to their superiority. Captained by Dawn Shelhorn and Tammy Saffles, there was no doubt as to the talent and desire of the team. Like a whirlwind unleashed, Hiwassee averaged over 9 runs every game while holding opponents to a measly one. Forming their own 20 20 club, the Lady Tigers scored in double figures 20 times and shutout their opponents 20 times. Congratulations ’84 Lady Tigers. You are true champi- ons.

Chapels And Assemblies Hiwassee College is a unique school in that it has a requirement that its full-time students must attend Chapel services once a week and Assemblies once every other week. Some students aren ' t happy about this requirement, but most attend anyway. The Chapel services are made up of various programs which are organized by our chaplain. Dr. Jerry Russell. Dr. Russell himself has charge of the services from time to time. Some of the programs have included a Christian magician by the name of Barry Mitchell, Jim Daniels, who is a blind musician, a Baptist minister from Madisonville by the name of Reverend Lon Shoopman, and Bob Morley who is also a traveling musician. There are also those who do skits, give testimonies, and it is not uncommon for our very own Music Department to provide music of some kind. Something rather different which is done, takes place at the very first Chapel of the school year. This is when the faculty and staff have a processional into the Chapel wearing their caps and gowns. The assemblies which are held are mainly used to update students on coming events and to take care of business such as class meetings, voting for officers, and other things of this nature. Although some don ' t agree with the requirement of these functions, it is another vital part of Hiwassee which makes it so unique. “Twelve Angry Men” The fall drama production this year was “Twelve Angry Men”. A great deal of time and effort was put into making it the success that it was. In spite of this, however, Mark and Phil found time to relax and pose for a picture during rehearsal. Kristy also relaxed, but only so Larry Dial could put her makeup on. The members of the cast were: Mark Bumgardner, Sara Inscho, Kristy Keith, Liz Elmlinger, Melanie Horton, Tangela Arnwine, David Watts, Tim Cruze, Tracy Hall, John Wolfe, Barry Kyker, Tern Flatford, Andrew Johnson, and Phil Barnes. The director was a member of Hiwassee’s own faculty, Mr. Joe B. Lowry. 106 “Tartuffe” Places, curtain, lights! “Tartuffe. by Moliere, was Theatre Hiwassee’s choice for their winter production. Presented February 23, 24. a nd 25. theater-goers were again delighted with the presentation. After all the weeks of hard work, several familiar faces were once again seen on the stage. Mark Bumgardner portrayed the title role of Tartuffe, the Imposter. Liz Elmlinger, Elmire, captured not only Tartuffe’s eye, but also the eye of the audience. Orgon, the leading ro.e. played by Tern Flatford, was pleasing to watch and easily one of the most admired within the cast Mary Janeway became Dorine. the voice of reason within the play. Newcomers to the stage were Becky Riner, Mariane. the meek and pure daughter of Orgon that won the heart of the audience with her portrayal of the innocent gir Sherman Meade Valere, added much comic relief with his sharp and crisp character. Scott Howard, Damis. the high-spirited and outspoken son of Or- gon kept the stage alive with his pres- ence. Jim Lowe also play ed the strong role of Cleante, not only adding to the plot, but also creating another voice of concern. Gin Weikel played the role of Madame Pernell, Orgon’s mother, a very interesting character to try to keep up with. No home would be com- plete without the servants played b ' , Sara Inscho, David Taber, Clint LaFc lette, Glen Childress, Melanie Hortor and Mike Isbill. These people could hold a scene together by only being cr stage showing a great amount of cor cern and focus upon the other charac- ters. Jimmy Artis played Monsieur Loyal and Tracy Brooking character- ized an officer. Under the meticulous direction of Joe Lowry, the cast came together in an almost magical way to uphold The- atre Hiwassee’s tradition of top-notch productions. Cook ing Zhrough Zhe Eyes Of Cove Homecoming Week 1983. What a busy time! The entire week was filled with many activities ranging from a barn dance to the Homecoming ceremony itself. The theme for this year’s Homecoming was “Looking Through the Eyes of Love.” Some of the various dress-up days were: Maroon and Gold Day. Punk Day. Spiff Day, Fifties Day, and Sweats Day. There were also many various activities which took place during the week. They were: a Pep Rally, a Barn Dance, the movie “Grease” was shown on Fifties Day, the campus was decorated, there was a Homecoming Dance, and last but not least, was the Homecoming ceremony itself which was held during half-time of the men’s Homecoming basketball game.

On October 21, 1983 at Camp Ocoee, 38 students arrived to participate in the Fall CSM Retreat. It started out innocent enough, but who knew we would awaken on the 22nd to find underwear on the flag pole?! We had some great instructors. Becky Riner gave fishing lessons, Roger Hill gave lessons in preparing oatmeal, and William Bell gave driving lessons. Tracy Cole took us all back a few years when she put on her mini-dress and performed. We focused on having Christ throughout school, grief, and life in general. We would like to say thanks to our leaders William Bell, Roger Hill, and Dr. Jerald Russell. And one last thing before we go — Jeff Wadley what is this about steaks and ham and cheese sandwiches???????? Guitarzan?! Get a load of the threads!!

Rirer Choir Tour 1984 On the morning of March 17 1984, the Hiwassee College Chorale left for their annual Spring Tour. Under the direction of Loys Jordon, the choir traveled through Southeastern North Carolina and Northern Georgia singing their songs for attentive audiences. They visited various churches and schools and also Babyland General Hospital. Accompanying the choir and Mr Jordan on the tour were: Michael Clark (accompanist), Judy Patterson (accompanist), and William and Rebecca Bell. They returned to the campus on March 23rd after their week-long journey. 1984 Spring Musical “Annie Get Your Gun” “Have you ever seen a cowboy rope a steer? Or a marksman shoot an earring from an ear? “Have you ever seen a hold-up?” “No sir?” “Then gather clos- er; and let me give you some of the atmo- spher e.” These lines opened up the 1984 Spring Musical of Rodgers and Hammer- stein s “Annie Get Your Gun”. Little did the near record-breaking audiences know what they were in for. From the hoopla of an award-winning Indian dance, to the tender moments of a love scene, Theatre Hiwassee held the audience in its palm. Of course, where else could one’s atten- tion be when an Indian chief with a live snake danced into the audience, or when Annie entered for the final scene on Mo- cha, the equine star. Director, Joe B. Lowry, brought enough glitter to fill a three-ring circus together into a well-orga- nized production. Jay Adams, as marksman Frank But- ler. and Liz Elmlinger, as the better marksman, Annie Oakley, played the boy-meets-girl theme consistently well throughout the carnival atmosphere. Charlie Davenport, Tern Flatford was the manager, forever looking for a better act to top rival troupe Pawnee Bill’s Wild West Show. Jim Bogie was Buffalo Bill. Although he was the namesake of Buffalo Bill s Wild West Show, he seemed to be caught in the middle quite often by either trying to help the cause of love between Frank and Annie, or helping Charlie im- prove the show. Polly Tate, beautifully portrayed by Diana Shockley, was, along with Charlie, the comic relief. Performing well together, they easily captivated the audience’s attention with their cavorting. Also important was Sitting Bull. Played with a certain charm by Clarence McCall, the stubborn chief came to life to wreak havoc on the lives of both troupe’s, as they were both wrestling for the profits from his oil well. Tragedy fell doubly hard when Frank spumed both Annie and Buffalo Bill and -imped to Pawnee Bill’s show. Then sit- r n 9 Bull decided against putting his mon- ey in show business. Situations, of course, worked out per- fectly in the end. Annie let Frank defeat her in competition so he would come back to her and, as a result, Pawnee Bill and Buffalo Bill combined their shows be- hind Sitting Bull’s payroll. Producing this Goliath event was the responsibility of Director — Joe Lowry, Maestro-Loys Jordan, Pianist - Michael Clark, Choreographer — Elaine Arm- field, and Construction Manager — Jerry Truett. Put these people together and they add up to above par acting and musi- cal performances, meticulously planned and executed dancing, and five-star set construction. What other combination could produce a trapeze act on stage, immediately followed by a full-fledged In- dian dance in which braves whooped and hollered up and down the aisles, then bring out a quarter horse and a six foot snake amidst fifty-plus cast members? The answer, of course, is nobody ex- cept Theatre Hiwassee. 1984 Calendar Sweethearts Sweetheart Couple Cp States bw tom This year the Circle K sponsored a calendar featuring some of Hiwassee’s students as sweethearts for the different months. These individuals were selected by popular vote from the entire student body and are pictured here. Jul V August September Betty Talford John Wolfe Siriporn NaPombhejara December Craig Thomas October November Greg Ivey Kathy Taylor “Almost Paradise” The theme for this year ' s spring formal was “Almost Paradise.” And It was ' almost paradise ' for many of those who attended the formal which was held on May 12, 1984. This year the occasion took place at the Springbrook Country Club in Niota, Tennessee With everyone dressed in his or her finest, a beautiful site was seen at the Spring Formal 1984. Many statements were made that this was the Dest formal ever. Being the social event of the year for Hiwassee students, it was definitely a night to cherish and remember forever. Spring Formal 1984 1984 Sophomore Trip At 7:30 p.m. on May 16, 1984, the Sophomore class from Hiwassee boarded three chartered buses bound for Dayton Beach, Florida. Arriving in Daytona at 5 30 a m. the next morning, this bunch was beside itself with eagerness to hit the beach Three entire days were spent playing in the ocean, swimming in the pool, lying in the sun, playin g volleyball, or just walking up and down the beautiful, sandy beach. The nights for many were filled wih dancing at the disco located on top of the Holiday Inn — Boardwalk, which is where the Sophomores stayed during their trip. Early in the morning on May 20th, the vacationers checked out of the motel, loaded the buses, and begar the long trek back to Tennessee. Despite a flat tire on one bus and a broken a:- conditioner on another, these Sopho- mores returned, nevertheless, happy anc excited from their wonderful week in Daytona.

Hiwassee’s class of 1984 is no exception. There is a sense of relief and accomplishment knowing that for some, half of an education is complete, and for others it is totally complete. There is a feeling of anxiety as a result of the rushing around in all the excitement and activities that take place during the graduation weekend. There may be, perhaps, a feeling of confusion for those who have not yet decided what they will do next with their lives. And last, but not least, is the feelin g of sadness that comes from telling friends goodbye, many of whom have shared practically everything for two whole years and realize that things will never be the same again — if they ever see each other again. In spite of these emotions, there is yet another which is called maturity. Upon graduation, these students will be young adults who will be responsible for themselves from here on out. Maybe in some small way, whether through faculty or staff, friends made here, or just the special spirit of the college itself, Hiwassee has been able to help each and every graduate face life with a new and bright outlook.
