The Lucky Friday the 13th Dance was truly luck for seniors Jeff Stacy and Paula Chasteen, who were crowned the 1984 Tiger King and Queen. During the day, the six contestants for Tiger King and Queen participated in a Tiger Feud assembly, then the student body voted making their final selection for king and queen. The teachers selected the six candidates on the basis of personality, leadership ability, contribution to school and self- discipline. The feud, the Beauties vs. the Beasts, included Beauty team members Dan Wohnoutka, Jeff Stacy, and Richard Weaver, while the Beasts included Paula Chasteen, Terri Willis and Terri Spears. Asked several questions, each team was awarded points on the basis of answers given by the student body in a survey a few weeks before. Example: What's the favorite soap opera? was one of the Beauties questions. After a few guesses, the Beauties guessed the number one answer - Days of Our Lives. Then to fulfill his duty as emcee, Bobby, gave the contestants who guessed answers that were on the board small kisses. After winning, the Beauties received a huge kiss from emcee Bobby Midles. (The kisses were all Hershey chocolate ones.) That night, yearbook staff member Belinda Routh presented both Jeff and Paula with a $10 gift certificate from Palmers and the yearbook staff, and all candidates received a free yearbook.

50 years of Pride at Humansville School Even though this year marks the 50th anniversary of the present-day high school, there nave been schools in Humansville just about as long as there has been a town. The earliest account of a school in the town dates back to the late 1850's and early 1860's when the Humansville Academy was used as a school. The Academy was built before the Civil War on what is now West Main Street. Federal troops use the building as an arsenal during the war between the states. The building was destroyed by fire when a Portion of General Sterling rice's troops came through Humansville. Several small schools were built in the area after the Civil War. The small schools served the area's educational needs until the construction of the 1923 building. Lack of space and damage caused by a flue fire in the 1923 building spurred a roposal to construct a new and igger building, reports town historian, Mary Owens. Upon passage of the proposal in 1933, classes were moved from the 1923 building to the old Community Building, (until recently known as Witt Printing Co.), while demolition of the old building and construction of the new facility began. Forty thousand dollars later, the present-day building was completed. The story does not end there. Consolidation, a means of combining small rural schools into larger ones, brought new students from surrounding areas into the Humansville school system and into the building. The latest consolidation in 1954 closed the last of the areas one room schools. Our deep graditude goes to Mary Owens, town historian, for all of her help in compiling this information and some of the pictures displayed here. Thanks also goes to Shelly Stacy, senior, for her time and energy in reproducing these pictures. Darlene Witt and Hazel Reitz also contributed pictures to our effort which we truly appreciate.
