Everybody's Cuttin' Footloose The 1984 Sweetheart Court: Tom Whitaker and Amy Harris, left Griffin and Sherri Ingram, Joe Natalie and Rhonda Gibbons, and Curt Lowry and Leslie Overpeck. Jill Vitalie announces the Sweetheart Couple for the year 1984. “Winter Whispers” was the theme for the 1983 Christmas Dance. This was the official “girls ask the guys” dance. Snowflakes and evergreen trees decorated the foyer to set the mood for a wintry wonderland. Senior Brian Edris was crowned Christmas King, and he and date Lori Dowdy danced a special one to the sounds of PFR. Many thanks to our Student Council for providing this fun evening. February brought the last semi-formal dance before prom. The Sweetheart Dance’s theme was “Tender is the Night,” a song made famous by Jackson Brown. Once again the couples danced to the tunes of PFR, surrounded by red heart balloons and Garfield valentines. Joe Flea” Natalie and Rhonda Gibbons were awarded the Sweetheart couple of the year. The newspaper staff did a great job and put in a lot of hard work to make this night a success. Senior couple Joe Flea Natalie and Rhonda Gibbons sway to the music of PFR. 25

Prom ... A Night In Heaven Proms come and go, but May 5, 1984 was truly a night in heaven, as suggested by its theme. The Junior class picked Le Fer Hall at St. Mary’s College for the setting. Couples had their pictures taken on a marble staircase surrounded by flowers, then ventured into the hall itself, complete with white pillars and two pianos. Dance music was provided by Mourning Mist. Beth Whitaker was crowned Prom Queen and her attendants were Connie Blackford, Toni Defraites, Lori Dowdy, Kris Kirkman, and Janice Reed. The dance lasted until 12:00, when it was time to change clothes and head for the Racquetball Club. Once here, couples could sign up for racquetball, enjoy the sauna, play volleyball, basketball or ping-pong, dance to WVTS, or just eat and relax. At 4:00, when post-prom was officially over, couples had just enough time to drive home and get a couple hours of sleep before many of them journeyed to Turkey Run to picnic and hike the muddy trails. A special thanks goes to the Junior class for making it a great evening, and a great weekend. The servers and ticket takers are Mike Shew. Michele Timmons, Jana Mischler. Angie Leverett, Susan Heber, Connie Milam, and J.C. Dressier. Mr. and Mrs. Grzech discuss the evening’s events, while Mr. Scheller uses his time to test the cake. A. . j . Beth Whitaker is crowned Prom Queen by her date, John Wayne Buker.
