The Junior Miss Pageant is a pag- eant designed for senior high school girls, where judging is based on youth fitness, poise and appearance, scho- lastic achievement, talent, and judges ' interview. In November, Monique Key, the 18-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth G. Key, participated in the Walker County Junior Miss Pag- eant. For her talent, she played Themes from Mephisto Waltz, and won the title over 14 other contest- ants. In January, Monique went to Mont- gomery to compete for the title of Ala- bama ' s Junior Miss. There the 46 con- testants toured Huntington and Jud- son Colleges, Troy State University, and met Lillian Carter. In the prelimi- nary competition, Monique won the scholastic achievement and Kodak awards. On the night of the finale, in front of her family and friends, Moni- que was crowned Alabama ' s Junior Miss for 1980 by last year ' s winner, Beth Harris.

Selling magazines each year is the only way the Senior class has to finance their expenses for that year. The magazine sales money goes to support not only the Senior class, but several other organizations. The Sen- iors have the expenses of the gradua- tion exercises to consider each year, along with donating $2,000 to pay for some expenses of the yearbook. This year they also purchased a camera for the school newspaper The Viking. However, the majority goes to the Cal- lie Sue Brakef ield Scholarship which is awarded annually. Each year, the Senior homerooms compete with each other for high magazine sales. The leading home- room for this year was Ms. Lankford ' s homeroom. To help Ms. Lankford ' s homeroom win in this competition was the high magazine salesperson, Rob- ert May. The top five individual sales- men were Robert May, Carol Sherer, Ralph Shaw, Tracy Ingle, and Jack Smith. Other high selling homerooms were Coach Schumacher, Mrs. Dod- son, Mrs. Studdard, Miss Thomas, and Mrs. Martin. This year the magazine sales not only reached the goal of $10,000, but exceeded it by almost $3,000. This has been one of the most successful years of magazine sales at Walker High, and shows a lot of enthusiasm and ambition from the Seniors of 1980.
