BALMY WEATHER HOLDS By Hoi 1ie Gerger On the unexpectedly balmy evening of October 16, five beautiful young ladies made their way to the foot- ball field in their formal gowns. With butterflies in their stomachs and flowers in their hands, they grace- fully walked to the place where one of them would soon be crowned the 1987-88 Home- coming Queen. There was a hush over the crowd as the M.C. began to introduce the five nominees. For those five girls it seemed to take forever , but when the intro- ductions were over and the crowd settled once again, that very special moment for one of those five young ladies came , ...and the 1987-88 Homecoming Queen is ...Miss Kristen Barrett! The crowd began to cheer and at that moment Kristen Barrett felt, on top of the world! by Hoi lie Gerger Wow, that's me! These were Kristen Barrett's feelings when she was ann- ounced as the 1987-88 Home- coming Queen. She stated that she can't describe in words how happy she felt at that moment. It was a once in a lifetime feeling. When asked if it was difficult to be on the court, Kristen replied, During that week I tried not to think about being on the court. I was excited, but I didn't want to act like I was above anyone just because I was.

IN FLOAT BATTLE 1989 We the Class of ‘89. Have built this float With school spirit in mind To encourage our Panthers To fight until the end. And tear apart the Vikings Until they cannot mend. Ten seconds before the end Is THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! And if the Vikings Haven't caught us yet. They'll never see Mohter Earth Again! 1990 Aiming high for victory our plane does fly. As our boys push towards the goal, to make our score high. Vikings will fight to stay alive, but will be shot down by the blitz,rush, sack and drive. They have dared to take us on alone. And now have tresspassed into THE DANGER ZONE! 1991 The Vikings walk on our field tonight, with spirit and expectations high, but when the Panthers get the ball they shall fly. Working hard we gather steam. Nothing can stop our dream. So when those Vikings leave they'll know next time they must yeild. With the Panther paw upon their back, they'll know the Panthers were ON THE RIGHT TRACK! ii
