Hey ] ou Sools Merry Christmas Let it snow, let it snow must have been the song Mother Nature decided to play just before Christmas vacation. Because of her grand production, the students and faculty of Humansville gained an extra day and a half on their Christmas vacation time. Making the land a winter time wonderland is Mother Nature's job, but someone forgot to tell the furnace. Unexpected furnace problems made the inside of the high school feel like an icy winter wonderland without any doubt. The blanket of white also postponed the judging of the door decorating, done by the first hour classes, until after Christmas vacation. Upon returning to school January 3, Mr. T. was still on Mrs. Vernon's math room door telling everyone to Have a Merry Christmas Fool , and the geometry students were declared the winners of the door decorating contest. Senior Rebecca Long beat eighth grader Pam Allison by one point and was crowned Miss Merry Christmas at the high school Christmas concert. Other Christmas candidates were Daphne Campbell, 7th grade; Tami Baugus, 9th grade; Amy Hanson, 10th grade; and Tamara Lambert, 11th grade (pictured far right). The Christmas program, directed by Rosemary Frerking, included performances from several musical groups including Tempos, Choir, Concert Band, Jazz Band, and the 7th and 8th grade choir. As the program came to an end, the high school and junior high choirs combined to sing the closing song A Wish at Christmas. Becky Piper Bryan Allison

-----Jstands Jn Stream-- SWSSZMSAKZ BAA1 QMS Z This has to be a dream. It's just like I'm Alice in Wonderland, remarked sophomore Julie Frazier after she was crowned the 1984 Sweetheart Banquet Queen on Saturday night, February 11, 1984. Her dream and the FHAs work started on the previous Monday which was hush day. The rest of the week included red white, western, PJ and dress-up days. Dress-up day may have finished out FHA week, but it didn't finish the work. The banquet and dance remained to be prepared for. The wonderland in Julie's dream began to materialize Friday after school when FHA members started decorating for the next night. With late hours and limited funds, the gym was completely recreated by late Saturday afternoon. While the girls were putting finishing touches to the decorations, some of the mothers were beginning to prepare the food to be served that night. Pat's Studio took memory mates before the banquet began at 7:30 p.m. After eating, seniors Janice Ladish and Richard Weaver sang the theme song, Islands in the Stream, for approximately 75 banqueters. The magic moment finally arrived. Candidates waited with their escorts for the announcement of the new queen's name. Julie Frazier's face lit up with delight as retiring queen Belinda Routh placed the crown on Julie's head and six red roses in her arms. Soon after the crowning DJ Jamie Weaver started the music and the dance was underway. When dancers wanted to relax they found doughnuts and punch waiting for them in the gym lobby. While taking a break from dancing with ner escort, Julie exclaimed, If this isn't real, and happens to be a dream, don't any of you dare wake me up. Becky Piper PAJAMA DAY. During the course of the day. the few FHA members who did wear bed clothes to school chose to shed them and Becky Piper was the only person to be flaunting PJ's. To make matters worse, in the absence of FHA president Tamara Lambert, Becky was called upon to conduct an FHA meeting (in bed clothes) to make last minute banquet plans. CANDIDATES. Mark Keller escorting eighth grader April Slape, Gary Clark escorting junior Kristy Rains, Mervon Bancroft escorting 1984 queen sophomore Julie Frazier, Cliff Aspey escorting senior Rebecca Long, Gary Tharp escorting freshman Lori Murphree. SOOO! Even though retiring queen Belinda Routh thought Tamara Lambert and Wendy McShanes outfits were neat, she couldn't imagine them wearing them to the Sweetheart Banquet. 26
