King How many stairs are there in the two flights on the south end of the high school building? Good question? It became such during the 1985 Tiger King and Queen assembly held on May 10. With the two teams competing composed of the six candidates for king and queen, the game began for some real dough. Each team was given a bean bag to toss onto a board determining the category of their question. After being asked the question, the team was given a few minutes to reflect and conjure up an answer of sorts. If the team replied in the correct manner, two points were given. However, if they missed it, the other team could answer it for one point. Moving along at a steady pace, minus the few (?) times it took for certain members of each team to finally hit the board, they tried to watch Tigger (Amber Eagan in a very tiger-like costume) and her suspicious antics. Five minutes before the final bell, the gentlemen slipped by to win some real dough (French bread). The winning team was king candidates: Bryan Allison, Bobby Midles, and Steven Keller, while the queen candidates were: Sheri Hulett, Dani Secrease, and Diane Whitlock. After the student body votes were counted, the 1985 Tiger King and Queen were crowned at the Student Council sponsored Senior Salute dance. Halfway through Bryan Allison and Diane Whitlock were crowned for 1985. This dance rounded out the year for H.H.S. with a bit of excitement. Not only was it the first Senior Salute ever sponsored with the seniors admitted free, but also free refreshments were provided. Before the dance concluded, a snake was discovered on the dance floor, causing a shiver of excitement to run through the crowd. After this episode, the dancing continued and then the night was over.

Graduation . . . has the sound of finality ... but still holds such hope that it brings tears to one's eyes because of it's promise. May 24, 1985, ended 28 Seniors' thirteen year career that held the goal of educating and maturing them enough to handle “life . Some had looked forward to this day for the past several years, while the rest had in a quiet way dreaded it. Ending a down-to-the-wire race, Bobby Midles was announced Valedictorian while Steven Wohnoutka was announce Salatatorian. These results were not announced until the actual night of graduation. After this announcement, Steven challenged all underclassmen and Seniors to do their best in everything. Later, Bobby reminisced about the thirteen years they had been in school. Awards and scholarships were also given out to students. Guest speaker, Dr. Gordon Bachus, professor of education administration at Central Missouri State University, told the 28 graduates that each had accomplished a great deal by graduating, considering the number of dropouts across the state. He asked them to remember that man doesn't live alone, and that man doesn't live by bread alone. Then the magic moment when the Seniors actually had their diplomas in their hands after thirteen years. Each Senior then lit their single candle, illuminating the gym with their hope and enthusiasm. Another year, another crop of Seniors, but not another stereotyped class, for each was different, unique, and special by their own self. 6
