mages of ’84 in classes When the word class was men¬ tioned, four definite images came to mind: freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors. Each class had specific responsibilities they were expected to fulfill. The freshmen were new at high school life. They were expected to make the most of their first year. They also had to make future plans for their next three years concerning schedules, fund raisers, and personal goals. The sophomores were, more or less, “stuck in the middle;’’ all they really had to look forward to was getting their drivers license. They would no longer have to drive with a person over eigh¬ teen; they would now be their own boss behind the wheel. However, the vehicle seemed to have a mind of its own, especially when it ran stop signs or went way over the speed limit. The juniors worked very hard on their candy sales so they could have a great prom. They not only had to plan for the prom but also, what they were going to do after graduation. After all, they only had one more year to go. They were busy doing everything from SAT’s to choosing colleges they wanted to attend. The seniors had a very busy year. They no longer could sit back and take it easy; they had to take action. They had to apply to colleges, choose announce¬ ments, and get ready for gradua¬ tion. The cold hard reality finally hit them; the year they had been waiting for was finally here, and they would be on their own. Each of the classes had certain goals and expectations that they worked toward and fulfilled dur¬ ing the 1983-84 school year. by Kristi Demastus Go For It - - Above Right: Keith Chittum checks out the PYT’s (pretty young things) between classes.

You didn’t have to be an MVP or on the first team all-stars either. Anyone who was a graduate of ’84 is unique and special in one way or the other. The seniors always participated in everything and at times wanted to be recognized where they weren’t needed. With titles such as “Gurkin’s Crew,” “Redheads are Great,” and last but not least Jamie and Jeff,” how can they be left out of our memoirs. Although the Class of ’84 was always clowning around they seemed to find time or make time for their studies. The seniors took school seriously at times and most of the seniors had colleges lined up, so that they could start their careers. Some even were fortunate enough to at¬ tend such places as Girls’ State, Governors School for the Gifted, Latin Convention, and a weekend at a college that they were thinking about attending. Most of the seniors agreed that the last four years were tiring, long, and sometimes very bor¬ ing but most of all these years held memories that will never be forgotten. Out of all the bad things in life, there is still some good at Stuarts Draft. by Teresa Weatherholtz 8 Senior
