THE BOTTOM LINE Title Page 1 School board and parents. Administrators and teachers. Custodians and cooks. Secretaries and bus drivers. All of these people are contributors to the qualities which charac- terize a school. A tremendous amount of effort is put forth by many people to make a school system work, but THE BOTTOM LINE is the STUDENT BODY. The students and the memories which they create are the most important features in making a number one school. Versailles High School was a first class school in many ways. Cheerleaders, drill teamers, athletes, club members, concert choir singers, and band members were THE BOT- TOM LINE for all activities in 1983-84. Cheerleaders and drill teamers strived to build spirit. They worked hard for success for both themselves and their teams. Athletes worked hard toward set goals in their particular sport. Football, volleyball, girls and boys basket- ball, wrestling, golf and track showed that dedication is THE BOTTOM LINE in sports. Clubs created involvement for many, through various activities. Concert Choir was again top rate and the band improved under a new director. Aside from all of the activities each individual contributed something. Answering a question in class, lending a hand to a friend, or just giving someone a friendly smile is beneficial. It makes a person and the people around him feel they have accomplished something. Each and every student added something to VHS. THE BOTTOM LINE is that VHS was the place to be in 1984. 2 lntroduction SCHOOL BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION 1 Vincel Allee, Superintendent 2.

It takes a lot of hard work, pa- tience, and a willingness to help others. The Mirror Staff has chosen one such successful teacher to feature this year Mrs. |lee Wooley has been a teacher at Versailles for ten years. She teaches concert choir, mixed chorus, and junior high music classes. It takes all of her many good teaching qualities to produce top rate music groups. Mrs. Wooley is originally from Eldon. Besides vocal music she has had many interests such as ballet, tap dancing, acrobatics, and she became a member of the high school band when she was in the sixth grade. She graduated from Central Missouri State University at Warrensburg with a master of arts in music. Mrs. Wooley has held many interesting jobs such as being a professional musician in a band in which she played the saxophone. Mrs. Wooley moved to Versailles and began teaching because that is where her husband was from. When she applied for a teaching position at VHS she originally wanted to teach instrumental music. She took the vocal music position to wait for the other job. By the time it was available she was enjoying vocal music so much that she did not want the other position. Under her direction, the concert choir has received I ratings at contests every year except her first year in which they received a II. Mrs. Wooley is to be commended for her many efforts in the vocal music department. Faculty 7 WHATS GOOKIN; WHO'S CLEANIN A lot of good cookin'' went on in our cafeteria with homemade dinner rolls, cake, cobbler, soup, cinnamon rolls and chili. Very few could resist the temptation of the smell of the homemade cookin'. The smiling faces and cheery personalities of the cooks serving the good cookin'' made the temptation to eat lunch even greater. The smiling faces and personalities of the cooks ap- peared at the school each day at 7 a.m. doing their best to prepare a delicious meal for 750 students every day. It's a tough job to keep a school sanitized, and it's not too fun to pick up smashed peas off the cafeteria floor, but our shining floors, clean sidewalks, and cut grass wouldn't have gotten done without our janitors. Our maintenance men were always cooperative doing their best to keep all equipment and utilities working properly. Cooks - Lucille Bishop. Mable Chiles.

CHEERLEADERS LEARN ROUTINES PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE The junior high football team set many goals for themselves at the onset of their season. Their main objective was to prepare themselves for playing high school football. Much emphasis was placed on skill and technique. Coach Dennis Hagedorn comment- ed, The success and knowledge which they gain here will help them in the future at the varsity level ' The junior high team was com- posed of both seventh and eighth graders and they played four games. All four of their games were exciting for them. Junior High Football: row 1. Tony Stephens.

This was the sec- ond undefeated seventh grade team in four seasons for Coach Linda Scott. The seventh grade girls showed great overall talent and wanted to win each game. In their last match against California, the girls were down 10-2 and came back to win 16-14. The eighth grade finished the year at 2-3. Coach Scott said, Our team was better than the record showed, the talent is present and in time the girls will grow into a super team! 1. Captains meet before the game for special instruction 2.

Participation was good with 18 girls on the seventh grade team and 15 girls on the eighth grade team. The seventh grade started the season with two losses but fin- ished the season with six con- secutive wins, giving them a record of 6-2. The eighth grade's record was 4-4. According to Coach Scott, some of the key players for the seventh grade were Mindy Spratt and Kelly Silkwood on offense and Becky Raines on defense. On the eighth grade team, Tami Randall led the team in scoring, steals, and rebounds. Christy Huffman was acknowl- edged as the team's floor lead- er. The junior high boys' teams this year were coached by Da- vid Wood. This year's teams learned that hustling can make up for lack of size and that teamwork is more important than playing as individuals. For the seventh grade, Tony Campbell was the leading scorer and rebounder and Scott Sherman was the best defensive player. The eighth grade's leading scorer was David White. Craig |oy and Trent Henry led in rebounds with Tony Edgar picked as the best defensive player.

This was certainly true for the junior high boys track team There were only six eighth graders and nine seventh graders on the team. The lack of size did not hamper the spirits of those who participated. Every mem- ber on the eighth grade team placed in the top three at least twice during the season. Versailles took seventh place in the eighth grade Laker Re- lays and second at Osage Invitational with a six member team. Jim Derry also became the new school record holder in the 1200 meter run.

Both seventh and eighth grade girls were extremely strong in field events. The team was well balanced as the eighth grade girls dominated the distance races and the seventh graders were better sprinters. With combined talent, the future looks bright for the high school levels of competition. With their combined talent, the ju- nior high girls broke six school records in 1984 Barbara lohnson holds the new school long jump record. The 55 meter low hurdle record was broken by Cindy Brown and Mindy Spratt holds the new shot put record. Mary Gardner broke two records in the 800 meter and 1200 meter running events. Tami Randall became the new record holder for the triple jump. |r High Girls' Track 29 row 1. Caria Andrews, Susie Mainard, Rebecca Bradshaw, Michelle Baker, Jeanne Mc- Donald.

Decorating the elementary gym for the annual Spring Dance was an assortment of lanterns, flowers, Oriental scenes, and butterflies. In the midst of this landscape was a footbridge and flower path surrounded by flowers and fountains. Approximately 175 students spent the evening dancing under the dazzle and sparkle of the disco lights and chatting with classmates, faculty, and parents. The honored court for this year's dance included Sheila Schuster, Krista Thouvenel, Carolyn Barnard, James Nikkei, Ross Smith, and Tom Dinkins. Elected by the student body, the royal couple's identity was disclosed as retiring King and Queen, Bo Campbell and Cristi White, relinquished their crowns to the new King and Queen, James Nikkei and Carolyn Barnard. — Mrs. Nickels with seventh grade creative writing group K r 32 Jr. High Prom )r High Prom 33 i, Division ''35 1.

The damp conditions hindered some of the work on the floats and the actual parade remained in question until the last minute on Friday. In spite of the rain and dreary conditions, the enthusiastic spirit and fellowship of the week still prevailed. Daily activities for spirit week were organized by the cheerleaders and were termed as an overall success. The daily events were. Punk Rock Day, Hillbilly Day, Halloween Day, Preppy Day, and Black and Gold Day. Each day more and more people were drawn into the activities and the enthusiasm gained momentum as the week progressed. Friday was mass confusion as it was group picture day as well as Homecoming. The excitement mounted as the day progressed until finally it was time for the game. Tension grew as halftime arrived and the three queen candidates were presented and Dana Hutchison, senior can- didate, was announced as the 1983 Homecoming queen. The game came to an end with a Tiger victory of 22-7 over the Tipton Cardinals. The game was followed by the dance which had an overall increased attendance over pre- vious years. Homecoming week came to an end and it was back to regular studies. The week ended quickly but the memories will remain for a long time to come. 1.

Homecoming 41 1984 COURTWARMING 42 Court warming AND THIS YEARS COURTWARMINC QUEEN IS These words are repeated over and over again year after year. Each year the high school classes choose peo- ple to represent them in the coronation ceremony and to hopefully be a part of the reigning royalty. This year's Senior Queen Candidates were Patti Broyles, Susan Weinrich, and Dana Yaryan. The Princess Candidates from the junior Class were Kimberly Chamberlain and lean Hull. Carrie Marshall and Ginger Raines represented the Sophomore Class. There were also three King Candidates from the Senior Class; they were Reed Guenther, Bruce Randall, and Mark Sherman. The junior Representatives were Lee Marriott and Tim Roberts. The Sophomore Candidates were Wally Boatright and Tim Petty. The day was full of fun and enthusiasm for every- one. The candidates received flowers from Student Council and were honored at the Pep Assembly. The cheerleaders performed a skit and the drill team enter- tained with a dance routine. The excitement grew as coronation approached. Drill Team began the festivities with a traditional light routine to THRILLER . Then the candidates were introduced and finally the moment had arrived ...!!! Dana Yaryan and Mark Sherman became the 1984 Queen and King, and Carrie Marshall and Lee Marriot were named Princess and Prince. The day long activities ended in a Barn Dance which was well attended and enjoyed by all. SECOND SUCCESS Last year was the second annual Matwarming The candidates were: Sophomore-Carla Garber lunior- Dawne Whaley Senior - Tracey Braden Alternate — Lisa Williams The candidates were chosen and voted on by the wrestlers only. The crowning took place between the |.V. and Varsity Quad matches. Lisa Wil- liams was crowned Queen and Dawne Whaley was crowned Prin- cess. A courtesy room was provided by some mothers of the wrestlers and other supporters for the Tigers. MATWARMING A DRILL TEAM HAS BUSY YEAR The 1983-84 Tigerette Drill Team started working hard soon after the tryouts were finished. Over the sum- mer they went to Columbia to dance camp where the girls learned most of their routines for the year. Some of their performances includ- ed the Apple Festival, the homecom- ing parade, and the State basketball finals at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The girls had a busy schedule dancing at football, wrestling, and basketball games with the highlight of the year being the popular light routine to Michael lackson's ''Thriller.'' The team members were: top; Lori Viebrock, Barrie Bauer, Michelle Tankersley, Kimberly Chamberlain; bottom; Kenge Douglas, Monica Bertelli, Lana Hutchison, and Robin Taylor.

The varsity cheerleading squads consisted of fourteen girls divided into three separate squads for different sports. A lot of time and effort was put forth by each member of these squads to help carry out each goal that they set for themselves. All fourteen girls attended a week long camp in Springfield during August. Here the girls learned new cheers, chants, skits, and pyramids. They also met girls from other schools, and were able to get ideas from them. Besides learning the girls also competed against the other squads at camp. The Versailles squads were able to win a ribbon at each evaluation. The cheerleaders spent much of their time on money making projects. These were to help raise money to pay for their new uniforms. Each squad participated in every pep assembly. They presented dances, cheers, chants, and skits. The girls gave a lot of their time to promote school spirit and cheer the athletic teams to victo- ries. The sponsors for the cheerleaders were Diane Klusmeyer; head sponsor, janice Yarger, and Cindy Schilb. They too contributed their time to organize activities for the cheerleaders. Cheerleaders 47 SPIKERS PLACE IN DISTRICTS With a record of 9-11, the varsity volleyball team ended their season with a loss to Cole Camp in the dis- trict finals. The team had a mixture of both experience and inexperience. The Tigerette team ranged from be- ginning freshmen to five returning senior lettermen. Highlights of the season came when the team placed second in the district tournament and also when they placed fourth in the Sacred Heart Tournament. All-Conference post season awards went to Lana Hutchison and Christi White. Other awards which were picked by Coach Brenda Hodges and the varsity team went to Lana Hutchison as the best all around and leading server with the highest num- ber of points. The best defensive player was Diane Hershberger and Nadene Higgins received the most im- proved player award. The junior varsity team concluded their season with a 7-4 record. The team was led mainly by sophomores with key performances by many freshmen players. •IHVolleybdll Varsity Volleyball: row 1. Kim Raines: co-captain, Sherie Croy; co- captain row 2.

Although the team and coaches took awhile to get to know each other, the defense started out fired up from the first whistle of the season. The Tiger offense had problems throughout the early part of the season but with a few changes in the line-up and some new plays they finally began to move the ball. Even though the record does not show it, 2-7, the last five ballgames were played well by the offense as well as the defense. Nine Tigers also took positions on post-season teams; All-Conference selections included Mike Baumgartner, Brian Heofener, Craig Baumgarner, Randy Campbell, Vince Williams, Bruce Randall, and Cliff Carter. The All-District Tigers, selected by the Central Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association, were as follows: FIRST TEAM: Brian Hoefener, noseguard; Mike Baumgartner, linebacker; Randy Campbell, offensive guard; Bruce Randall, punter; Vince Williams, place kicker and defensive end; SECOND TEAM: Bruce Randall, running back; Craig Baumgartner, de- fensive tackle and offensive tackle; Cliff Carter, split-end; Tim Roberts, defensive back; |ohn Dunham, defen- sive back. The Single-Season Tackle record, set in 1967 and tied in 1976 by Barry Laurie, of 125 tackles was broken by Mike Baumgartner, who had 144 tackles. The junior-varsity Tigers fared a bit better than the varsity team by winning four of six games. Coach Whitehead said, We're smaller than other teams but meaner. Every team they beat was a shutout, losing only to Camdenton and Eldon. Some of the outstanding players were Tim Campbell, Tim Roberts, Lee Marriott and Sean Concannon.

The Tigerettes were a young, unexperienced team with only one returning starter and only a total of four upper classman. The Tigerettes lacked in height also so everyone had to work to capture each rebound. In spite of changes, the Tigerettes really showed their stuff” against tough 4A competition in the pre-sea- son Booneville Tournament. They continued to hold tough in the Versailles Tourney by sweeping the Consolation Trophy. The intensity of the Tigerettes was weakened as the result of the loss of their first Conference game. The loss was soon overcome when the Tigerettes brought home another Consolation Trophy from the Lincoln Tournament. Then injuries, sickness and a forfeit caused the girls to hit a low in their season. By the District Tournament the Tigerettes were at a high. They won their first game against Higginsville, which was well earned. The Tigerettes were then defeated by the District Champions, Cole Camp, in the second round of the Tourney. Two members of the team suc- ceeded in breaking some records. Senior Tracey Braden scored the most points ever scored in a game. (40 pts.) She also topped the total point record with 428 points. Sophomore Sheri Bowers got the most rebounds ever in a game. (25) Two members also were selected to the Tri-County Conference Team. First Team: Tracey Braden, Honorable Mention: Dana Hutchison. Tracey Braden was also selected to the All- District Team.

Coach Russell Schilb 53 Gris Basketball SENIORS GUIDE VHS TEAM Five Senior starters came out on the court for the Versailles Varsity Ti- gers in their first contest against Skyline. The team had high hopes along with tremendous talent and experience. This was the team which could achieve success. They lost their first game 39-47 against Skyline which was only the beginning of a disappointing season for the Tigers. They ended their season with a record of 4-17. The season in general was a disappointing one for everyone in- volved with the basketball team. Things got started by losing their first three games before posting a win over county rival Stover. The early season play of Vince Wil- liams was outstanding as he kept the Tigers in many games. Things started to pick up after the Christmas break as the Tigers played Helias well be- fore losing by eight points in the California Tournament. After losing to Helias, the Tigers defeated Blair Oaks before losing to Boonville for the consolation finals. The following week, the Tigers defeated California in their only conference victory. The season continued to be a struggle as the Tigers competed in the Eldon Tourney and finished the rest of the season with a win over Smithton. Coach Dennis Hagedorn comment- ed on the season, I thought we were starting to play better shortly after Christmas. We came very close to beating Helias before we defeated Blair Oaks. At this time we were playing better and playing a lot of teams very dose. Tiger senior Vince Williams was chosen as a unanimous selection to the 1983-84 All-Conference 1st team. Other post-season honors went to Cliff Carter and Denis McFarland as they received All-Conference Honor- able Mention. Varsity Basketball: row 1: Troy Gerlt; manager, Reed Guenther.

Although Helias outscored Versailles by quite a few points, the score was no indication of the close- ness of the matches or of the other matches to follow in the season. This dual was probably the first time that Versailles made the three time state champions work for every point they got. All season long the Tiger matmen were plagued by illness and injuries. Most of the time junior-varsity wres- tlers were asked to fill in for those temporarily out; )im Andrews, Shawn Tywman, Ross Smith, Kurt Hatfield, Dion Hibdon. Considering all the factors involved, the Varsity Tigers had a fairly good season. Ten of the eleven varsity matmen placed in the district tournament at Higginsville and ad- vanced to sectionals at Cameron. From there, five wrestlers went on to the state tournament at Columbia. The season came to an end with these results: Jay Dunham, 16-7, 2nd in district, state qualifier; Karl Wilson, 19-9, 2nd in district, state qualifier; Tim Campbell, 19-8, 2nd in district, state qualifier; lohn Dunham, 13-7-1, 3rd in district, state qualifier; Tim Roberts, 8-17, 4th in district; Randy Campbell, 17-9, 4th in district; Sean Concannon, 13-13, 4th in district; Mike Baumgartner, 8-5; Danny Oyler, 14-14, 4th in district; Richard Switzer, 16-5, 4th in district, state qualifier; Bri- an Hoefener, 18-11, district champion. Three of the five wrestlers who went to state were underclassmen who will return. 56 Wrestlmg Top Row Coach Dennis Vallandingham Row 2: Manager Aquino Wallace, Danny Oyler, Richard Switzer.

A few early meets had to be cancelled because the golf course was not ready to play on. The team had to participate in their first meet without having a single practice. The varsity team consisted of fifteen golfers. Mark Sherman, Tony Stafford, Peanut Frank, Tim Petty, Chris Henderson, Mike Walsh, Danny Herbert, Jeff Kimbrell, Loren Yoder, Tracey Braden, Reed Guenther, Nolan Sousley, Kevin Iman, Mike Moesch, and Wally Boatright. Peanut Frank was named the medalist of the year. As a team the golfers won the quad meet at Tipton and finished sixth out of fifteen teams at the dis- trict meet. Although the season was hampered from the start, the golfers had good, strong team effort and pride throughout the season. 58 Golf Front row: Loren Voder, Tracey Braden, Reed Guenther, Nolan Sousley, Mike Moesch.

Lisa Petty broke records in both the high jump at 5'3 and the triple jump at 33'1 . Sheri Bowers became the new record holder in the long jump with a jump of 16'9 Vi''. The 400m relay record was also broken by the team of Lisa Petty, jackie Espinosa, Carolyn Barnard, and Sheri Bowers. The girls team fared well in both the conference and district meets. Eleven participants placed in the conference meet and ten people placed in the district meet. Lisa Petty, Sheri Bowers, and Lana Hutchison placed in the top two and qualified for the state track meet. Lisa Petty entered the state meet in the high jump. Sheri Bowers entered in the long jump, 100m dash, and the 200m dash. Lana Hutchison participated in the discus. A notable feature of the 1984 girls track team was their inexperience. They were a young team with no senior members. They may look forward to three returning state qualifiers for next season. 60 Girk' Track Girls Track: row 1.

When the season finally got underway, the field events started out and remained extremely strong throughout the season. As the season progressed, the running events stead- ily improved. Coach Whitehead summarized the season by saying, The weather was disappointing, but considering the weather most of the performances were outstanding. In the end-of-season meets the team placed third in conference and received fifth place in the district track meet. Individual honors went to Bruce Randall as he set a new school record in the high jump at 6'4 . He also re- ceived first place in the conference high jump, second place in the long jump, and third place in the triple jump. Chris Andersen received sec- ond in the conference shot put Bo Campbell placed second in the pole vault. Ronnie Campbell was second in the 110m high hurdles and Tim Roberts placed third in the 800m run. Freshman Walter Woods set a new freshman conference record in the long jump at 19'6 .

To make students aware of the problems of drinking and driving, SADD members handed out flyers and put up posters. SADD started off the year with the building of a float at City Hall for the Homecoming Parade. The title of the float was You Can't AfFord to Drink and Drive.

VAC 81 YEARBOOK ATTENDS TO TASK One of the most prominent objectives of the yearbook is to capture both the common and the unusual, the traditions and the changes. Then these two opposite characteris- tics must be organized and assembled in the same publication. Many people are needed to bring all the happenings of a school year together. Ken Sinclair, Lisa Williams, and various other avail- able photographers collected pictures needed to express the moods that occur in a school year Another important method of recording happenings and attitudes is writing. Patti Broyles, copy editor, did an exceptional job of putting the school year in print. The individual staff members also composed some copy for their specific pages. The rest of the staff members, Mike Baumgartner, Sean Concannon, Dana Hutchison, Kim Raines, and Robin Taylor, ar- ranged their pages to effectively fit into the book as a whole. Brian Hoefener, layout edi- tor, managed the layout process. Mrs. Martha Trail, in her second year as yearbook advisor, was aided by |im Elliott, editor, and Creta Thompson, junior editor. The staff again sold candy at noon and at games to raise money. They also had a week long selling drive to sell yearbooks to the student body. They held the annual yearbook royalty ceremony in which Dion Hibdon and Hester Bowman were crowned Mirror King and Queen 1.

Miss lackson, Director When we think in terms of victories and defeats we generally visualize some type of sporting event. Rarely do we think of the triumphs and failures in other areas, such as instrumental music. Sophomore lohnna Yeokum who received a I on her flute solo at the District Mu- sic Contest represents one such musical victory. Triumphs as a group came from working and sharing together in order to reach set goals of excellence and pride in performances. The band marched at all home football games. They appeared in the Homecoming, Hal- loween, and Apple Festival Parades, They also participat- ed in the parade and pre-game activities for the Central Missouri State University's Homecoming. The band also performed many times through the year at basketball games. The Calvacade of Bands, and graduation. Success was also gained as the band united to raise money for new instruments and scholarships to attend music camp. 86 Band 1 Flute Trio Johnna Yeokum, Erin Concannon. Greg Willson 2.

Although colors set the mood for the evening, the performances were the most outstanding. Concert Choir, Mixed Chorus, Ladies' Glee, and Men's Glee each entertained the audience with medleys. Other highlights included a Lady Love Me by Reed Guenther and Dana Hutchison, Freshman girls' song The Sound of Silence , and a solo called Got a Hold on Me by Barrie Bauer. The evening came to a close with a good-bye to the senior class of '84. Everyone will always remember the joy and sadness felt as our high school years came to a close. Spring Fling 93 TAKE A VOYAGE TO Come now and enter another world, enter through the strobe lighted cave, enter The Land Be- yond. This was the theme of the 1984 |r. Sr. Prom. Planning by the ju- nior class began early, prom supplies were ordered and decorating plans were made Anticipation grew as the traditional Friday decorating day arrived. The ceiling and walls began to go up and the prom was officially started. The long awaited prom day finally arrived. Most couples ate at various restaurants around the lake such as Bently's, Jacques, Captain Hooks, and H.K.'s. As the couples entered the prom through the cave-like entrance into the gym they saw mainly colors of blue and silver. There were stars of all sizes both on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. A fountain with fish in it was set in the center of the gym surrounded by pillars. The music was provided by The Bread and Butter Band . There was also a special appearance by The Tumbleweeds. Cake and punch were served by members of the sophomore class and couples could have their pictures tak- en if they wished. Attendance was low at the dance, but those who attended enjoyed the festivities. After all the decorations are gone and all the supplies put away, we will always remember the fun times spent with friends. 94 (umor-Senior Prom THE LAND BEYOND.

The junior year is the mid- point between the beginning and the end. As a junior, students gain more privileges and freedom such as being able to choose more elective classes The junior year is a stepping stone between dependence and indepen- dence. Through the year students are given more of a chance to show newly acquired maturity. Planning for their senior'' year is one activity at which a junior may spend much of his time. Ordering class rings is one of the ways in which he does this. The juniors of 1983-84 ordered their rings from the josten's Ring Company in early October and received them late in November. Planning prom is another event which consumes much time and effort. Each class tries to outdo the other and make their prom the best ever Selling magazines is one of the efforts put forth by the junior class to raise money for their prom. The juniors this year received a profit of approximately $2,000.00. The junior year is full of fun and gives each individual an extra chance to become closer to other classmates because of the time spent together on their many group projects. Although a junior is quite busy, he still manages to look forward in anticipation to the day when he is a senior. THERE ARE NO MORE LIKE 84 opposite page: 1. The Class of ”84” 2.

Through the years many friendships have been formed that will remain long after the high school years are over. Although 43 of these students have been together for twelve years, the 45 who have joined them along the way have also added a special meaning of their own to the class of 1984. Confusion is one word used to describe much of the senior year. For those planning to at- tend college, one must be cho- sen, ACT tests taken, and fi- nances and scholarships must be arranged. These are just a few of the preparations which for many of this year's seniors be- gan as early as October or No- vember. Seniors who did not wish to attend college were also faced with many similar dilem- mas. They must decide where they want to work, where they will live, and how they will support themselves or a family In addition to all these things to remember and do, the senior was always willing to save time for fun and friends. The memo- ries they created during this year are ones which will last them a lifetime. |oe Shepard, President Cindy Homan, Vice-president Sherie Croy.

Seniors 117 MEMORIES AND DREAMS Rememberances set the mood for the graduation of the class of 1984. Dana Hutchison, in her speech, took us back to the days of our elementary and junior high years. She reminded us of all the good times we have shared such as when Brian Hoefener demolished every- one's red brick forts in kindergarten and when Angie Campbell told us that Elvis Presley was her cousin. Dana took us through the recollections of junior high, finally high school, and last but not least the wonderful exper- iences of our senior year. Along with memories there must also be dreams. There must be hope for the future. Ken Sinclair looked forward, in his speech, to what was ahead for the class of 84 . Finally the moment had arrived, and it was time to walk across the stage and receive the long awaited diploma. It was time to leave behind one stage of life and enter into another. And then it was all over. We had graduated. We will never be the class of 1984 again. Although we can nev- er come back again, we will always have both our memories of the past and our dreams for the future. 118 Craduation Graduation 119 SENIOR CREDITS JACQUIE BARNARD Cheerleading — 1,2,3,4; FHA —3; Concert Choir —4; DECA —3,4; Mixed Chorus — 1,2,3,4; Library Aide — 3,4; Cheerleader Captain — 3, 4.

When the students entered the shiny clean halls that had been vacant so long, the excitement of beginning a new school year all came back. September and October were occupied with adjustments to make classes bearable Football was off to a normal start and social activities were getting organized. By the early winter months, the roundballers and wres- tlers were off and running. Ten wrestlers placed in Dis- tricts and the big activity for basketball was courtwarming. Our Easter vacation was slashed because of missing a whole week of snow days. Rain and cold weather delayed the early practices welcome to the golfers and tracksters. By this time, the senior countdown had gotten started. Prom plans were started and anticipation was building as graduation and prom neared The Bottom Line to the seniors as the doors locked be- hind them and a diploma in their hands was the future. Lives were being built and friendships were ready to be tested. Closing 127 As Porky Pig says, 'Th, Th, That’s all folks.” But in all seriousness, I would like to extend my appreciation to my staff and Mrs. Trail for their hard yet cheerful help. This book is for you seniors so enjoy it. The four years are behind us. So, with the memories stored, let’s take to the future. An ode to the seniors is presented here to set us on our way.
