Sn mmm sie cE se ese ememrrcaaas mien 20 March eo After 20 games and hard work, the Millers became the District 5AAA Basketball CHAMPS with an automatic birth in the state playoffs. The students and faculty were very enthusiastic about the Miller basketball team going “all the way” to STATE. Rooter buses were rented and tickets were sold; fundraisers were held and contributions were made in order to lower the $10-ticket price. The tickets were lowered to $8 a piece so that students could afford to see their team play at Portland’s Memorial Coliseum. The first game against the ‘Big City” high school, Parkrose, ended in the first setback for the Millers, 42-36. But enthusiasm was not lost; the SHS supporters were up bright and early the following morning for a return trip to cheer for their team at the Coliseum. Yet the “DREAM” season came to an abrupt halt when the Millers lost their consolation game against an aggressive Beaverton High, 50-37. Basketball ended quickly and ASB elections were held to appoint the new officers for the 1983-1984 school year. Scott Ramsay was elected ASB president, Dana Lommen—vice-president, Debbie Bates—secretary, and Darren Heffington—treasurer. Following the March ASB elections, students were ready for a B- R-E-A-K! Spring vacation was a time for rest, relaxation and sun- tans? On the Friday before, the sun brought with it not only warm weather, but the anticipation of spring recreation and ‘‘cloudless”’ weather. To everyone’s dismay the sunshine was hidden behind a large blanket of clouds during the entire week that the students were vacationing. When they returned for the traditional gossip about vacations, there were NO “suntan” tales to be heard. WE ARE... IN THE STATE PLAYOFFS ae

2 ry CORE e RINGFIELD HIGH PROM 830 PM @ . % rae se ’ “ of - wale kh Se 7 am 1 4 Take the Valley River Inn’s “Willamette Room,” a room full of tuxes and evening gowns, and you have a night filled with fun and fantasy. The 1983 Prom was one to remember for SHS students and faculty alike. When students started arriving at 8:30 the fun began, dancing and eating the night away. The Prom theme, “Only Time Will Tell,” was very appropriate this year. The Prom had been juggled from date to date and upset many peoples’ plans. May 7th had been the set date, but due to a mix-up between the Valley River Inn and the Junior Class, the Prom was moved to April 23. Despite the “mix-up,” people felt that the Prom was one to remember. Voting took place that night for a 1983 Prom Queen. It was a tradition that hadn’t been upheld in some years. This year the honor was given to Queen Rea Moffitt. Rea was crowned and received a bouquet of red roses as SHS’s “queen for a night.”
