Four years hold many Looking ahead and planning for the future have occupied the thoughts of the seniors through- out the year. Sometimes the deci- sions have seemed much too diffi- cult to make, especially since a million things — term papers, de- bate tournaments, basketball tournaments, jobs, government tests, etc. — have been going on while all the decisions had to be made right now. However, in lieu of one of the senior’s regular journal assignments, they were asked to answer the question, If you could see anything from your last four years on instant replay, what would it be?” Some seniors shared the same memories of school events while other re- sponses were on a more personal level. The following is what the seniors of 1984 said they would like to Take a Second Look at Tom Sprenkle’s instant replay wish was to hear Terry Williams explain to a substitute teacher how he saved the earth by dis- arming a nuclear bomb in Satanta High School. Terry would like to see the looks on everyone's faces the night of his Junior Prom. Terry Troutt and Stacy Anthony both said they would like to relive the moment that Satanta was an- nounced as one of the State Foot- ball play-off contenders their freshman year. Mr. Slaven went in and drew the X which sent us to the state play-offs, Terry said. You should have heard the yell- ing in the halls ... He didn’t have to say anything — we knew we were in ... Stacy said. Tony Moree listed the night SHS beat Moscow to win the 1984 Homecoming game as a favorite memory. “ ... We hadn't beat them in a long, long time. We beat them by eight points. It felt good, Tony recalled. Shelli Brock, 1984 Homecoming Queen, also wanted to replay the night. From her frantic attempt to get dressed on time to walking on the field before the announce- ment of queen, her stomach was full of butterflies. Shelli said, “My heart jumped when I heard, 'And the homecoming queen for 1984 is ... Shelli Brock.'” Gerry Black remembered when Kurt Deaton had bad dreams when he spent the night during ninth grade. About 4 a.m. he jumped up and stood in the cor- ner of the bed and starting yelling, ‘I told you there were snakes in this bed, I told you, I told you.'” The next morning Kurt realized it had only been a dream. Kurt re- called a night that he, Gerry and Stacy were running around the school when the lights were out. We were down by the library and we heard someone coming. We took a sharp right into the library and Stacy broke his crutch,” Kurt said. Mary Beth Clawson and Darla Alexander’s instant replay wishes were the same for different rea- sons. Mary Beth was a model in the All School Play their junior year. She had to make a quick change in a shower stall that stood right out on the stage. “In the middle of the actual perfor- mance, I went to change and I was pulling off one of my boots I slipped and fell on my rear. Boy, was my face red. I almost forgot that I ended up moving the stall about a foot, Mary Beth said. Darla remembered the laughter that erupted when the enor- mous crash” was heard by all the cast members on the stage. 28 Danny B . John L. and Terry W. discuss the graduation announcement choices.

memories for the seniors Danny Baker and Benito Garcia joined the senior class this year. My most memorable year was my ninth grade year when I played football at Crockett Junior High School. Our team won the Texas State Championship, Dan- ny said. Benito would like to relive the time he spent at the Future Farmers of America convention during the American Royal when he and some other seniors threw a blanket over a junior clothed only in his underwear. The junior was left outside in his underwear until a busload of FFA students drove by. Carla Pence remembered the time she, Danny Morgan, Jerry Meier and Kurt Deaton went ski- ing at Red River. While exploring for new ski trails, Jerry sped ahead only to be found by the rest sitting down. He kept saying, Don't come here. Don't come here,’” Carla said. Kurt and I didn't listen; we plowed right in there and were buried up to our thighs in the snow. You see, Jerry wasn’t sitting down. He was standing! By the time we all got out, we looked like four snow- men. Paula DuBois would like to see when she and Pete Silva first started dating. He was shy, and I was sort of old fashioned. I’d start walking home from school, and by the time I got to Hayden's, he'd stop and ask me for a ride. I sat clear on the other side of his blue Chevy pickup, as close to the door as possible. (He still kids me about that.) Lynna Conaway wished she could replay the night she and some other SHS alums went skinny dip- ping in the city pool. They got to swim 20 minutes before being caught and given a ticket. Kelly Hockett would like to replay the night he went to a party and lost his glasses that he had put in his brother's glove box for safe- keeping. Lisa Thorson would like to see the summer of 1984 again when she, Terry W., Kelly H., and Lynna C. spent crazy times goofing around. Watching Lynna drive through a milo field and into a culvert was one of the crazy times. “It was a pretty exciting summer — not something easily forgotten, Lisa said. Participating in the Grand Sweep- stakes Forensics Tournament was Stacy Decker’s instant replay wish. John Lawson and Gina Miller both listed State Debate Tourna- ment as some of their favorite memories. Mary Beth C.. Shelli B.. Lynna C.. Lisa T. Stacy D.. Carla P.. and Tony M listen as the Jostens' representative explains ordering procedures for graduation announcements.
