Students swinging to the tune of Casper found The Beat Went On The halftime activities were highlighted when senior princess Marjorie Winslow was named Homecoming Queen 1984. The senior class chose Mary Beth Staton to serve as her Maid of Honor. The remaining two senior princesses were Kristin Burton and Kathy Finn.

SENIORS! Alive in ‘So Twelve years of waiting were worth it tor this — the year of decisions, of last minute worries, and finally, exhilaration. The class of 1985 had reached its destination intact.

All the seniors enjoyed the ae of early dismissal for lunch and before the final bell. Seniors lucky enough to see their names on exam exemption lists exper- ienced a glow duplicated only by the sight of an actual diploma. In its years at Midlothian, the Class of 1985 had developed a unique identity Sara Brown, senior class secretary, de- scribed the class character. ‘Everyone is an individual,” she said, ‘but we can be unified when we need to be. It was our class who yelled for the forbidden pompon performances, and our class that read newspapers to protest the proper attitudes of the pep rallies. And it was our class who fought against the new rules of the school. Our class is one of a kind.” Seniors looking back over their final year had various thoughts. Some who glor- ied in senior freedom and wisdom de- clared, as Jenni Murray and Elizabeth Co- lucci did, that ‘To be a senior is the most educational and entertaining thing ‘cause you finally learn how silly you looked as a freshman.” Other students felt the year was a blend of future vision and nostalgia. Rob Tyler expressed the sentiments of the entire class when he said, ‘Overall, the final year of high school brings a hint of the future mixed with memories of the past.” PRCT
