P FROM A QUIET residential neighborhood near Hillcrest to the busy, crowded studios of Channel 8 downtown, judges were called on to pick the finalists and winners of the 1982 Mr.!Miss Hillcrest Hurricane contest. Former Hillcrest football player, john McClamrock, was asked to judge the girl's division of this year's contest. john was paralyzed during a football game against Spruce eight years ago. He picked the finalists from his North Dallas home, offering comments on the contestants' eyes, complexion and overall looks, He emphasized the idea that these girls don't look like high school girls, or at least not like the girls he recalls. He also noted that, The girls look good together. Several days later, the quest for the most photogenic boy at Hillcrest moved to the Channel 8 studios where PM Magazine's Leeza Gibbons picked the winner.

Life was simple then. Well, not all of the time. Some of the problems of the teenagers as well as adults were apparent in the musical through music and dialogue. Many hours of practice were spent to make the musical a big success. It took long days and nights of rehearsing songs and memorizing lines lapproximately 3 1X2 monthsj, not to mention the practices before the auditions. Many people were involved in the musical. These included members of the Art Service Club, orchestra, stagecraft class, lighting and stage crews, and others. Without these people, the musical could not have been complete. In the spotlight is Leeza Gibbons from PM Magazine who uses one of the musical rehear- sals as a backdrop for the opening and closing of the nightly show.V Musical - 29
