Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and see the greatest show on earth - the Carnival of Favorites. Telling bad jokes and juggling balls, the Ringmaster and his assistant guided thc audience through a tour of the fairgrounds. Attractions ranged from a caged gorilla and a rollerskating clown to a hot air balloon and much more. In a carnival atmosphere, entertainment was provided by singers, dancers and acrohats. Newly reated categories of Best All-Around and Culest Couple were announced at the morning per- formance, along with other senior favorites. Feelings about the new categories were mixed senior Andy Johnson liked the Best All-Around but disliked Cutest Couple. The way high school kids are, from the time nominations are made to the time of the coronation, some of the couples have already broken up. Imagine having a cutest couple who hate each other's guts! Most beautiful, handsome and popular winners from each class and Mr. and Miss Aldine were announeed at the Saturday evening performance. Mrs. Julie Pederson was recognized for her work as sponsor of the Roundup staff. Standing in front of 1,000 people and waiting anxiously to see if they were the winners or losers was usually a nerve-racking experience for the participants. For freshman Shawn Meider, his first year in the presentation was the worst two days in my life.', Three year participant senior Tammy Kitchen said, Being in the Coronation is an honor whether you win or lose but it can be embarrassing when the judges look at you from head to toe. This year I was more embarrassed than nervous. she said about the juding of the most beautiful category.
