Gina Tolleson and Candy McMeans disem- bark their ship as they arrive in the Bahamas. New York life seems to have affected GEE stu- dents Mike Messel, Kirk Campbell, Mike Brock, and Key Holloway. Overlooking Heidelberg from the castle locat- ed there is Cindy Lyda. Cavaliers Going Like Never Before Cavaliers going like never before makes a clear reference to students of today. They tend to be absent from home whenever possible. Students stay gone from home so much that the label going here-going there is ap- propriate. Some students, though, have had the opportunity to do more going than others. During the spring holidays of 1984, the Spanish Club, along with Mrs. Laura White, set sail for the Bahamas. Also, the GEE classes took a trip to New York during spring holidays of 1984. These groups took trips to ex- pand their cultural knowledge. During the spring, Mrs. Sandra Brock- man and Mrs. Susan Norris also took a group of students to Europe. They saw the sights in London, Lucerne, and Hei- delberg. They were able to expand their worldwide cultural knowledge. Brian Cooper spent his entire summer serving as a member of Teen Missions International, an organization that goes to other countries and helps them build churches and expands their overall knowledge of God. Brian worked in Kenya and Israel. He is an- other student who is going like never before. This year the Student Council mem- bers planned a trip to New York for the spring holidays. The band took a trip to Walt Disney World during the election day break. Also, another trip is planned to Europe. This trip is planned for sum- mer and is under the direction of Mrs. Brenda Bishop. Dorman students thus are continuing the trend of travel that has been set Mrs. Susan Burdine planned the GEE trip to New York to further increase the knowledge her students were learning from their performing arts unit. As Jen- nifer Floyd says, I am glad Mrs. Burdine gave me the opportunity to see a Broadway show in New York. Providing the opportunity for stu- dents to travel is just one of the many reasons Dorman is the Pride of the westside. 10 Cultural Trips

Lunchtime Is the perfect time for Lisa Adams, Debbie Fazzone, and Sonya Graven to discuss how the Farmer’s Day Is going. Mt. Dorman? With the stands full at the outside pep rally, the shape looks like the Inclination ot a mountain. Make An Ordinary Day Extraordinary As the Education Improvement Act was implemented, many stu- dents wondered if school days would become a boring, ordinary routine. However, the students found way to make ordinary days seem extraordinary. As the fall football season began, a new trend was unleashed. This trend was the selling of balloons by the cheerleaders to kick off the sea- son in style. Blue, light blue, red. and white balloons were released into the air as the team ran through the tunnel made by the band. The week of homecoming brought with it a host of new ideas, with everything from a spirit protest day to a play presented by the Dor- man Players. As Farmer's Day came around, so did the sale of a hot new item. Jer- sey style shirts were the rage with a Vikebusters symbol on the front and “I ain't afraid of no Vikes print- ed on the back. For the last home football game of the season, a group of teachers decided to show their school spirit by dressing as cheerleaders for the day and cheering at a pre-game pep rally. As Thanksgiving drew near, the Beta Club decided to try something to spark up a rather boring period of school. They sold Thank you for be- ing a friend grams with a new twist of being originally thought of and designed by members of the club. The Christmas season came around and the SHIELD staff gave everyone a Merry Christmas pre- sent. Calenders for the year 1985 including art and writing by students were distributed. The semester ended and seniors realized that they only had half of a year left in school. Springtime brought a school sponsored Penny Carnival. Graduation came and the seniors became the first class in recent years to graduate at the high school. As the year ended, students had found many ways to make those ordinary days extraordinary and keep Dorman the pride of the westside. Make An Ordinary Day Extraordinary 9
