This year's game con- tinued the trend of young teams reaching the Super Bowl. The 49ers broke out to an early 20-O lead which they held going into halftime. After the 49ers dominated the first and se- cond quarters the Bengals claimed the third for their own. But the rally fell short when Placekicker Ray Wersching connected on his third field goal of the game making the score 23-14. Wersching would kick one more before the Bengals scored their final touchdown, making it 26- 21, and ended their season a galant second. lI88 MERRY CHRISTMAS CAN- Back Row: Lisa Heard, Llbby Wllllams, :IDATEB - Front Row: Dana Neeley, Peggy Donica, Jenny Thomas, Karen eth Alexander, Lisa Rhoden, Lorre Jones.

The only way to win the fight was to knock out Thomas Hearnes. The bell rang for the four- teenth round and Sugar Ray came out punching. Then, in an instant, it was done. He had hurt Hearnes so badly that the referee called the fight, and Leonard won on a QTKOJ, Technical Knock Out, making Sugar Ray Leonard the undisputed Welter- Weight Champion. 'lt took me by Surprise' A memory of a lifetime and a dream come true, said Beth Alexander in describing her feelings after being presented with the tremendous honor of reign- ing as Springfield's Miss Merry Christmas for 1981. A tear of joy and a blushing smile came over her face as she stepped to the podium to be crowned queen. Beth's first reaction when they announced her name was, lt took me by surprise. I didn't think l was going to get it. lt took me a minute to realize what had just happened. Beth wanted to be Miss Merry Christmas because lt's a challenge. Christmas is a special time of year to me and it is an honor to repre- sent Kickapoo in such a glorious season. l'll never have a chance like this again. lt's a once in a lifetime thing. The 20 girls that best qualified by application were chosen as semi-finalists. Ten out of the 20 girls were from Kickapoo. Events of '81-82 185
