1 MIGHT TO Looks are not everything! Maria Alvarez: The moment they announce my name as being freshman princess, I was so surprised! I did not think I would have a chance for this great honor. I just wish people would stop treating me differently now that I am princess. They react as if I am very special when actually they are the special people. Caroline Rioja: I was very honored for being elected for sophomore princess. My family and friends helped me a lot through this experience, and I am very grateful to them for be- ing there when I needed them. It has been a great year for me. I wish every girl could experience being princess for a year as I have. Lori Johnson: Being able to represent thi junior class as their princess wa a great honor. It was for them tha- I was nominated. I wish I couk thank each person individually but since I can not I will do sc now, Thank You Junior Class! i 28 jcLKsing on Student Life Homecoming.
