One of the most embarrassing moments of my life was at homecoming when my date tried to pin a corsage on my strapless dress in front of my parents. He finally asked my mom to do it for him, senior Debbie Bradley said. But, it wasn't just boys that had it rough. At Sweetheart, my date, while trying to pin on my boutonniere, tore a hole in my brand new shirt. I had to go and totally change my clothes, sophomore Mike Fletcher said. Although this age-old tradition caused some sticky situations, most agreed that it was part of the fun.

As 1986 Sweetheart Queen Cindy Black recalled, I was really nervous. My little sister, Holly, was watchingg and that just made it more embarrassing. Why is such nervousness aroused by mere touching of lips? Actually, the contact of the lips was not the cause. It's all the worries that build up before the actual kiss is made. I didn't know which way to tilt my head. I figured if I didn't tilt it, our noses would bump, one senior girl said. 1' 'WO Wrestling candidate Kelly Schneider and her escort Doug Kay wait patiently for the announcement of Sweetheart Queen.

Queezy stomachs, sweaty palms, and trembling of the body were all characteristics pertaining to the rookie kisser. Another important factor in someone's first kiss was where it happened.

We were at Skatelandg and just as he kissed me, the lights came on, wrestling candidate Kelly Schneider said.
