Even ts add special touch Special Events were lacking at Apache Junc- tion High School including the Jr. Miss Pageant which has always been one of the more glavmor- ous events for many of the females of the Senior Class for years. Maior events included: Homecoming, the Ste- vensons' Concert, and Lost Dutchman Days. Although one good reason deserves another, the reason that the Pageant is in danger of becoming extinct is because there is a lack of sponsorship. In past years the event was spon- sored by the JC's until last year when they decided that they no longer wished to put on the event. It was taken over by the Apache Junction Jr. Miss Pageant led by Mr. and Mrs. Nussear of Apache Junction.
