a own “Be a Clown” was the theme for the 35th Annual Band Variety Show. The theme was carried out starting with the clown walk and ending with Emmett Kelly sweeping up the spotlight. The excitement began before the show started with band and choir members dressed as clowns entertaining the young and old. At 8:00 pm Ringmaster (band director) Hezlep blew the whistle and the show began. Students from throughout the school participated in the show. The acts ranged from the Curly Shuffle to Croix, performing “Rock and Roll Party in the Street. Randal Jett and Sharon Vlahovich were the emcees for the evening. During the show two awards were presented. The Kohrig award was presented to Dawn Striker. Tom Murray was the recipient of the John Philip Sousa Award. The show, which was pronounced a great success, was dedicated to the memory of Dr. and Mrs. McClain. Stephanie Williams is one of the clowns that entertained before the show.

On April 15, 1984, two busloads of students and chaperones left SCHS enroute to Washington D.C. The group arrived in Washington about 10:00 AM and began their three busy, fun-filled days in our nation’s capital. Led by Harold Anderson, the gorgeous tour guide, they saw such historic sites as the Smithsonian, the Capitol building, the White House, the Supreme Court Building, the Library of Congress, Arlington Cemetery, site of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the eternal flame on John F. Kennedy’s grave. In addition the group was taken on a nighttime tour of the memorials that the students truly enjoyed. Leaving Washington D.C. behind, the group went to Williamsburg, Virginia and visited the restored colonial houses and shops. The students and chaperones then began the 18 hour trek back to Salem. When they arrived on April 20, they were all tired, but each one carried memories that will last a lifetime. TOP RIGHT: Juniors are on the streets of Washington D.C.
