Various institutions donate several hundreds of dol- lars in scholarships toward this traditional event. Contrary to what many people believe. Junior Miss is not a beau- ty pageant. Marshalls program is the search for the most well- rounded high school senior girl. Singing as a talent proved to be very successful for 1986 Ju- nior Miss contestants, as both Creative and Performing Arts winners were vocalists. Friday night’s award went to Mary Youngdahl, who sang “Some- where Over the Rainbow” from the hit musical The Wizard of Oz. Mary received a $100 scholarship for her perfor- mance in the memory of Connie Simpson, Marshall’s Junior Miss in 1973. Saturday night’s Creative and Performing Arts Award was received by Joye 16 JUNIOR MISS Trine who sang a medley of songs from the movie. West Side Story. Joye’s scholarship of $100 was given in the mem- ory of Jean Livingston Minear. The winner of the Physical Fitness award was Tammy Brownell. Krista Fhaner was awarded the Poise and Appear- ance Scholarship. Both girls re- ceived $100 scholarships. A highly prestigious award in the Junior Miss program is the “Spirit of Junior Miss.” The winner of this award is chosen by her fellow contestants based upon her overall enthusiasm for Junior Miss. This year’s recipi- ent was Becky Glotfelty. “Becky was energetic and ex- cited about everything. Her en- thusiasm spread through the girls and helped them to look on the bright side of it all,” re- marked Beth Rapp. Tina Mann was named sec- ond runner-up and was given a $450 scholarship. In addition to this, Tina received a $300 schol- arship for the Scholastic Achievement Award. The first runner-up was Sandi Ovcrhiser, who received a $650 scholar- ship. Tammy Brownell was se- lected as the 1986 Marshall Ju- nior Miss and received $1000 for her outstanding perfor- mances. When asked about how it feels to be a Junior Miss, Tammy said, “To become Ju- nior Miss was a great honor, and I am proud to represent Mar- shall in the state program.” To the participants of the 1986 pageant Junior Miss was the chance to renew old ac- quaintances and share in an al- together exciting experience. It was an experience that no one would ever forget. As parents filled the auditorium each night, the love that shone in their eyes was bright enough to light the entire city. THOSE PEARLY WHITES. Spirit is a word which describes Becky Glotfelty. She was chosen as the “Spirit of Junior Miss” by her fellow contestants. Photo by Mrs. D. Robinson

Photo by Ann Youngdahl. — High Spirits— Students pull together for a win Spirit Festival definitely cap- tured the enthusiasm of the stu- dent body and broke the mono- tony of winter. It was a chance for everyone to just have a good time. “The best part about Spir- it Festival was watching every- one make fools of themselves,” commented Jim Laupp, and that’s something that most peo- ple easily accomplished. The week began with the decorating of windows and an array of dress up days. The theme of Spirit Festival was television, and the seniors cre- ated a winning window with a collage of TV scenes centering on the idea of “I’d rather be watching TV.” The dress up days were as follows: Monday, Occupation Day; Tuesday, A Day in the Tropics; Wednesday, 50’s day; Thursday, Pajama Day or Senior Toga Day; and Friday, Red and Black Day. Mother nature again tried to spoil Thursday night’s events with an incredible snow storm, but even poor road conditions couldn’t keep the students away. Some highlights of the evening were human bingo, the tricycle race, and ping pong. After a night of hard work, the seniors were ahead with the freshman close behind. Friday proved to be the cli- max of an exciting week. The assembly began with a breath taking entrance by Rocky alias Mr. Ben “Arnie” Armstrong. This just made everyone all the more ready to compete. The se- niors pulled ahead early in the competition, but the under- classmen made every point count with an amazingly close race. “I remember how close the race was between the three underclassmen classes most of all,” said Tony Charameda. People remembered many different aspects of Friday’s as- sembly, but overall the energy nd excitement were remem- bered most. “I especially re- member when Greg Machek won the jelly bean hunt for the third year in a row, and Natalie Parrish told Christin Claybom where to drop her eggs,” said Kasia Grzeskowiak, senior. After two hours of competi- tion, the class cheers ended ev- erything on a high note. The fi- nal scores were 125 Vi for the seniors, 91 for the juniors, 90 for the sophomores, and close behind, 89 Vi for the freshmen. With the conclusion of Spirit Festival, most students could face the winter months with re- lief. Most of all, during occa- sions like Spirit Festival, stu- dents should get everyone to participate and have fun. Win- ning as a class wasn’t everything and in the end, the students pulled together as a united body to root on the victorious Reds- kin basketball team. HIT OR MISS. “Keep ii steady, Tyson, says Benct Walsh and Alan Taylor. Try- ing to break an egg with your bare hands and then dropping it into a con- tainer are only things that one would do for his class during Spirit Festival. Photo by Annette Tribby 18 SPIRIT FESTIVAL
