Farewell military academy appoint- ments were made — one by Monacan alumnus Barry Cle- ments from the United States Military Academy to Caren Goode and the other from the United States Air Force Acad- emy to Matt Cushman. Multi- ple winners included Michael Halle, for whom a seat on the stage should have been pro- by vided; Wendi Pohlig, who was presented with, among other honors, the Valedictorian Award; and Hunter Apple- h white, who was named Out- , standing Graduate. One very special award was given with love and appreciation to Mr. Bill Broaddus, Senior Class Sponsor, without whose sup- port and understanding the Class of 1984 could never have achieved the things it did. The diversity of the awards, from scholarship to service to academic to athle- tic, and the number of different students receiving these awards proved the ability and the talent of the graduates of 1984. When the ceremony was ending with closing state- ments by rising Senior Class President James Woo, the Seniors congregated in the aisles, congratulating and bid- ding farewells until graduation i Me me bee g ba U y) ‘Up; Up And Aw dream, Matt Cus tificate of accept Force Academy.

198 Class Day Words Of A Poet. With his humorous, yet touching, poem, Chris Hughes helps the Seniors relive their years at Monacan. One More Time. By the time Michael Halle finished receiving awards, he was able to count among his posses- sions five honors presented to him on Class Day. Bidding The final weeks of the Class of 1984’s Senior year pro- vided each student with a wealth of memories upon which to reflect fondly. June 5, 1984 will certainly stand out as a day of both sorrow and excitement — a fitting prelude to graduation. For some, who proved lucky enough to exempt from all exams, Class Day truly was the end of the school year; for all it marked a ceremonial finish. On the morning of June 5, the halls filled with girls in white dresses and boys in ties. With the restlessness of the Seniors, classes provided only a pretense under which students could visit with each other and prepare for the afternoon’s assembly. Follow- ing sixth period the Seniors re- ported to the gym where genu- ine chaos followed until every- one had found the appropriate escort and lined up. Finally, led by the Class Officers and directed by the Junior Mar- shals, the Seniors moved to the auditorium. The assembly was opened by Class President Hunter Ap- plewhite and a beautiful song from Pippin by the Chamber Ensemble. Next onthe agenda was the poem by Class Poet Chris Hughes.
