The 1983 Football Homecoming Dance, sponsored by the Girls Athle- tic Association, was held on Septem- ber 30, 1983, in the school cafeteria. The band Slowpoke provided enter- tainment for the night from 9:00- 12:00 p.m. Refreshments for the dance included chips, cake, mints, and punch. This year’s theme was selected in honor of Bonnie Tyler’s song Total Eclipse of the Heart. Members of this dazzling affair that were named The Homecoming Court were: Patrick Germain, crown bearer; Hillary Garris, flower girl; ninth grade princess Wendy Bose- ly and her escort Scott Lohr; tenth grade princess Liz Burdock and her escort Mike Weimer; eleventh grade princess Renee Sharpless and escort Steve Bennett; twelfth grade prin- cesses Wendy Beitzel and Tracy Im- hoff, escorts Jay Marple and Jimmy Freeman, and 1983 Homecoming Queen Dawn Shafer and her escort Chris Foley. Each princess was presented a rose and the queen was presented with a sparkling bouquet of roses provided by Flowers by Webers. Because of rain, the Homecoming Football game was cancelled with Keyser and rescheduled on Monday, October 3. But do not despair, the mighty Rams defeated the Golden Tornadoes by a score of 16 to 7. When football player Steve Ben- nett was asked his views about the evening, he stated, “It was a boring evening because the football game was not before the dance. I think they handled the Homecoming Court very unprofessionally. It would have been better if they would have had a D.J. instead of a band.” It was quite a different story when we asked the queen, Dawn Shafer, what she thought about the dance. She re- plied “It was a really great evening even though the game was can- celled.” eS Se Queen Dawn Shafer and escort Chris Foley dance to the theme song. 8 Homecoming Total Eclipse, Of The Heart’

Filled With Infantile Radience As insane, bizarre, wild, hyster- ical, cracked and demented the peo- ple of Southern High School seem to be, they still have time to dazzel the county with pleasure. Many citizens seem mystified that a good time exists in Garrett County. Dodging this issue does not change anything. So in our great destitu- tionalized search for dazzel, gleam, luster, sparkle, we found many en- tergetic and spirited people who are also in pursuit of excellence. Here are a few of their contributions (at least the ones fit to publish): Lynn Welch (senior): go cruisin’ for men, jam out the top 40 tunes and whatever else comes up, go to games and check out the jocks. Steve Bennett (junior): What do you think? CENSORED Dave McLaughlin (junior): “ Wayne Dixon (junior): “ 2 Cathy Junkins (senior): Go to the games, hang out and run the halls with Nancy Paugh, Theresa Sisler and Lynn Welch. Two unidentified seniors who are afraid of being intimidated: Go muddin and crashing three wheelers, cruise Hecks, go to County Club Mall and check out the men. Jimmy Freeman (senior): smiled. Nancy Paugh (Senior): punk-out, Just Up to their usual tactics of goofing off, Dave McLaughlin and Steve Bennett prove that two heads are better than one. cruise punk-style, party. Lisa Proulx (senior): Run my par- ent’s car into a tree. Theresa Sisler (senior): Dream of the future, get lost in the wonder of it, fall in love, and party. Jeff Beeman (senior): Cruise in my Bird, go party’n. If those who find fun are childish and foolish, they are also full of the intent to demonstrate that this county is full of opportunities for an extravagantly dreamy atmo- sphere if you just reach out for it and take the risk of being Filled with Infantile Radience. Telling Becky Rhodes to say cheese causes her to crack up. Feature 7
