This year's Homecoming festivities, greatly anticipated by seniors, were high- lighted by competition between class floats. The creation of the senior float, an ice cream float, was a combination of de- termination, workmanship, effort, and cooperation, qualities characteristic of the Class of '84. Eddie Eggerl's house was chosen as the construction site. The Sunday prior to the Homecoming Parade, seniors began building the float. Chris Downs donated a rowboat for the base. Three scoops of ice cream were formed from three bean bags covered with sheets. The bananas that went along side the ice cream were of chicken wire covered with yellow crepe ,,, 2 ii 'Q paper. Placed on top was a cherry, which was actually a volleyball painted red. The entire float was surrounded by fiber fill to represent whipped cream. Each evening after seniors worked on the float, it was transported to the pavilion at Blob's Park for storage. The day of the parade, final preparations were made and last minute touches were added. The float was then hooked onto Donny Sabatini's truck and brought to the parade. But, there were a few complica- tions on the way to the parade. Right in the middle of the busily traveled Rt. 175, a big chunk of the float fell off the truck and onto the road. Stu Fossett, Stacie Seifrit, Suzanne Davie and Tom Luc, who were on the back of the truck and dressed in caps and gowns had to jump off the truck, stop traffic and salvage the float. Fortunately, they were able to save the pieces that fell off and reassemble the float. After all the complications, the float final- ly arrived at Meade for the parade. Those on board the float waved flags and cheered to onlookers during the parade. After the parade, the senior float, along with the other floats in the parade, made a trip around the football field for the judging. The senior float did not win the contest, but many felt that all the time and effort put into the construction showed the true spirit of the Class of 1984. Seniors 209

Y When a student finally reached his se- nior year, he suddenly had countless things he had to worry about, think about, and plan for. To help alleviate some of the pressure on seniors, the administration held a Senior Class assembly to inform seniors of events and dates of importance to them as seniors. At the beginning of first period, all seniors and graduating juniors were cal- led down to the auditorium for the assem- bly. Once everyone was seated, Mr. Law- son began. He praised the class of '84 of their behavior and unity as a whole. He also reminded the seniors that their final year was not yet over, and they needed to maintain their good habits and continue to set an example for the rest of the school. Mr. Michael Prin followed, making his last 208 X Seniors ,if r ff' appearance as Senior Class Advisor. He made a plea to the senior class to buy the senior class t-shirts because all of the shirts had not been sold, putting the class in debt. He kiddingly remarked that the prom would be held in the parking lot if the shirts weren't sold. Next, a representative from Students Services was introduced to the seniors. The representative showed the variety of announcements to choose from, and other things, such as mugs and jewelry, seniors could order. While he spoke, some students passed out order forms and brochures. He then showed seniors the cap and gown they would order for graduation in June. Ms. Cozzillio then addressed the senior class to insure that everyone knew where K, iX , ,,,,,,,,,,, t they stood as far as credits for graduation were concerned. She also reminded seniors who would be attending college in the fall that they needed to file Financial Aid Forms to apply for any type of help in meeting college costs. Other information that was passed along to seniors included dates for order- ing caps, gowns, and announcements. The seniors were also told when gradua- tion practice and the graduation cere- mony were to be held. Much to the delight of seniors, they were also told that they would each receive 4, instead of the tradi- tional 3 tickets to graduation due to the small class size. At the end of first period, the assembly came to a close. Seniors still had many of responsibilities, but they were better informed. ff-fb Q,
