-----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.
