It was May 20, 2:00 p.m. on a bright shiny Sunday afternoon as 61 graduating seniors anxiously waited to receive their diplomas. Preparations had been made early for this day as pictures and announcements were ordered, the senior trip was planned, and measurements for caps and gowns were taken. Reverend Dwight Kemling lead in the Benediction and Princi- pal )erry Williams presented the class of 1984. Mr. Al Pietsch, President of the Board of Education, gave each senior his diploma, as his name was called. A reception line followed in the student center and a dance to a live band, The Red Line followed that evening. As the day ended excitement and anticipation could be seen on many faces. A few mixed emotions could also be seen —some happy, some sad, and in most a great feeling of accomplishment. Marti Wallesen and John Sobieszczyk enjoy dancing to the live band.

SPORTS Kimball, with a student body of 246 kept pace with and even defeated larger schools in the Western Conference. Alliance with a student body of approximately 632 and Cering with a student body of approximately 658 were formidable opponents but the Horns managed several wins over these rivals. The old saying quality not quantity was proven. Although Kimball isn't the smallest school in the Western Conference it has only seven more students than Cordon, the smallest. Varsity gridders closed out their season with a 5-4 record, losing to three state playoff teams, Sidney, Chadron, and Mitchell Reserve gridders closed out the season undefeated. Kimball's Girls Varsity Basketball seeded second during the district action, followed the number one state-ranked Sidney Red Raiders In retrospect one could say the Horn athletics had the best of two worlds in athletic competition-claiming their share of the victories and using all their participants.
