Catch That Cougar Spirit! 1984! What a year! The classes of ’84, ’85, ’86, and ’87 turned an ordinary year into an extraordinary year! The senior class trip, junior candy sale, sophomore driving lessons, and freshman CPR class to anyone else, would have seem¬ ed dull and uninteresting. But the Cougars used a little bit of school spirit and made the dull and uninteresting come to life. School traditions were never boring because of the vigor with which the students tackled every activi¬ ty. It’s amazing what a little bit of “Cougar Spirit” can do! by: Dea Shaw Above Left: Christy Shelton and Mr. Avoli pose for a picture before a Girl’s Varsity Basketball game.

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.
