Miss Blue Springs The crowd grew silent, the lights dimmed, and anticipation crept across the faces of the ten 1988 Miss Blue Springs Scholarship Pag- eant contestants. Bmong them were five students from BSJH: Brandu Blackburn, Dawn Michelle Cornnett, Dee Dee Jones, Meghann l.lJest, and Linda Vocham. The pageant consisted of tal- ent, swimsuit, and evening gown competitions in which each ex- pressed poise and grace, as well as other unique individual abilities. Inter- jected between these events were other various forms of entertainment provided bu 1987 Miss Blue Springs, Stephanie Solomon, a local elemen- taru choir and other singers and musi- cians. The months of hard work and preparation resulted in a successful pageant. Bt the end of the evening, the winner was announced, the girls had developed a oneness among them that would withstand whatever the judges had reached. The winner was Flmu Post, an 18 uear old senior, and the first runner up was Brandu Blackburn, a BSJH ninth grader. But in the eues of their friends and families and the opinion of the audience, ev- eruone was a winner. Haren Pojmann ed one contest and did a great job. Fill Chamber Choir students went on a trip to the Ozarks where theu staued at the Tan-Tar-Fl Resort. Theu sang for the Music Educations Cov- ention. Bll of the BSJH music students deserve a pat on the back for a job well done. Robun Batcllff Mini-Magazine 89 -.,,.......-.-.., ...,,,,., ,,.
