With his mother, Kin8'C3'7did3fe Deaf' mother, Gingerich. Courtwarming was a much OFF bigger deal than it had been in , previous years. An air of excitement ' pervaded the entire student body. No, there weren 't fabulous prizes or thousands of dollars to be won, but, school spirit was at its all-time high. The crowd was really hyper that night, said Eric Harris. For the Royalty candidates the evening was filled with excited laughter, but nervous smiles. Finally, the crowning moment arrived. Marie O'dell was crowned the queen and Mike Wilber, the king. To top off the winter sports season, the Literary Society sponsored a Beach Party. Despite the lack of sand or ocean, the beach balls flew and the dance was a success. The kids arrived attired in Jams and T-shirts-some sporting bathing suits underneath. The music was pro vided by Power-95 's D..l., Charlie Knight. Ev- erybody danced to tunes from the 50's to the 80's-the Beach Boys being no exep- tion. The winter months were a blast , thanks to these events. f jf, ,ie N ls 'lv ' , Z g 1 M, Debi Lenz, Kari Porter, and Rachel Stotts are all happy to be accompanied by their fathers.

,, ,.,, .,..,......--. .,......-.,....--. .. A ' ' Royalty... and Bulldog Determination I always thought Matwarming was exciting and everything, but this year was different because it was me. It was shocking to even be a candidate, but being elected queen was something l'll never for- get, said Matwarming queen Kel- Iey Bedell. Kelley, a Varsity wres- tling cheerleader, reigned with se- nior Jim Nicholas, a Varsity wres- tler, over the I986-87 Matwarming court. They were honored first at the Matwarming ceremony and again at the Winter Sports Dance, sponsored by the Literary Society. The music was provided by Charlie Knight, a disc jockey from Power- 95. And, to add a new twist, the tra- ditional formal dance was changed to a beach party in the gym. The dance has been no big deal the last few years - it was time for a change. Besides, it was a lot of fun and a nice break from the winter, said senior Christy Rush. The Matwarming king and queen, wear- ing jams and beachwear, were re- crowned with leis and straw hats. ' But royalty was only part of the excitement. I was happy to be cho- sen king, but I was really just con- centrating on my match. I thought it would be a tough night, but I pinned my man in the first period, said Jim. Jim continued from this win to his final victory - third place at the Missouri State Wres- tling Tournament. I4 Matwarming The evening which Jim antici- pated to be tough actually was a difficult one for the Bulldogs. Matwarming took place the evening of the MRVC Conference Cham- pionships, a dual against the Cak Grove Panthers. The enthusiasm of a large, excited crowd - larger than the crowds in previous years - was quite an asset. However, even the crowd and unmatched Bulldog determination couldn't bring the Bulldogs the victory this year. The final score - 28 to 40 - will not be quickly forgotten, and will be the inspiration for even bet- ter efforts next year.
