YOU KMOW THEY RE GOMMA LOVE YA! Mannequins sponsor Edward Allen stops to pose by the pond. Rehearsals every Thursday after school were one thing, but perform- ing in front of an audience was differ¬ ent. Dirk. an active mannequin, en- joyed talking about the group. Mr. Allen is a great sponsor. He teaches us everything we need to know, so that we re not nervous before the Show.” Dirk s only drawback was the continuity. ' When youre walking, youre so stiff. The only way you can let loose and be yourself is when you dance.” When asked about his opin- ion of the most talented mannequin, Dirk didn ' t even hesitate: Raquel Conn is probably the best female. Her movements are real defined, and she always knows how to carry herself.” SO If YOU SMILE FOR THE CAMERA (top) Tanya Mascarich, Corwyn Thomas, Cari Milleander, Ehka Stacey, Dirk Milwee, (bottom) Troswa Booker, Melanie Henderson, and Ursula Black.

Flirting, twirling, and strutting on stage Mannequins capture ali eyes Dancing, prancing, and stepping to the beat were not the only prerequi- sites to becoming a Magnet Manne- quin. Talent, self-confidence, and will- ingness were inciuded. The manne¬ quins were those students who quali- fied and were able to represent the school in both outside performances such as those held at Midway school in January and at Northwestern Uni- versity in April, and those held in school such as the annual Thanksgiv- ing dinner performance and the Spirit Day performances. But not just any- one could be inciuded, for tryouts were a must. The audition consisted of a rehearsal of the basic steps in ffont of Mr. Edward Allen and the oth- er mannequins. At first I was ner- vous, but after the first Show, I got over it really quick. Also I practiced before the Show in ffont of the other mannequins, so it wasn t too bad, admitted senior Dirk Millwee.
