Will the following people please report to Mr. Scoggins ' of- fice: Lisa Wilson, Kari Woods, J. J. Mongelli, Traci Fogliani, Renee Howard, Erin Sheehan, and Tracy Johnson? This announcement swept through all fifth period classes two weeks prior to the homecoming game. Immediately, these seven girls crammed into the vice- principal ' s office wondering what they had in common. What? H-o- m-e-c-o-m-i-n-g q-u-e-e-n? How did I get nominated? , Kari Woods ea- gerly questioned. Each sport nominated a candi- date for queen. The boys ' tennis, cross country, and soccer teams each got one nominee. The football team had the privilege of choosing four candidates. After the seven nominees were officially named, the teams voted on the girl they thought would make the best homecoming queen. Each candidate wrote a personal resume that was read at a pre-game pep assembly while they were being introduced to the student body. Later that night the nominees had front row seats on the sidelines during the game. It was great sit- ' was great having Bob there tor sup- port, said Queen Erin Sheehan. The best part of the whole evening was being escorted by my dad, said Tracr Fogliani. 7 totildtt ' t eat because I had the worst butterflies ever! J. J. Mongelli replied. ting right on the sidelines. I heard every grunt and groan. 1 wish 1 could sit there every game, said J. J. Mongelli. The half-time buzzer rang, and the candidates were escorted by their proud fathers. I was excited to have my dad there with me. Clenching his hand seemed to make the freezing cold weather and all the anxiety go away, said Lisa Wil- son. The anticipation had been building all week. Everyone won- dered who the queen would be, said senior football player Charlie Parnell. Student Body President Matt Al- lison ' s voice rang out, And your Homecoming Queen for Carson High School is . . . Erin Nicole Sheehan!!! My heart was pounding; my mind was racing; all I could think was: Dude! Oh, my God!! What are ya, kiddin ' me? exclaimed Queen Erin as she recalled her exact thoughts when her name was an- nounced. Shiny convertihle Cadillacs soon swept the queen and nominees off their feet. Then they watched Carson ' s victory over the South Ta- hoe Vikings, 34-22. mm J What was the best part of the whole event? The best part of the event was being with all my good friends. said Erin Sheehan The best part of the event was right before they an- nounced the winner and all the excitement rising. said J. J. Mongelli The best part of the event was to have my dad with me, and being able to sit on the sidelines. said Traci Fogliani The best part of the event was being with my dad, and the excitement of knowing every- one was watching you, said Renee Howard. The best part of the event was the excitement and the an- ticipation right before they an- nounced the winner, said Lisa Wilson. The best part of the event was having my dad there with me. It was the second time in my life that I had ever seen him, so that made it very spe- cial. said Tracy Johnson. The best part was being nom- inated, said Kari Woods. 14

' There ' s a first for evervthing. This saving had special meaning for the class of 1988. as the were the first class in Senator Histon to win the traditional Powder Puff game two years in a row . The game was friendlier than last years, perhaps because there was a possibility that the Powder Puff game would be cancelled in fiiture years unless the junior and senior girls established a less heated ri- ■alry. The first thing we did was get rid of the hit list. said Senior Sydney DulL It ' s supposed to be fun. The practices started a week be- fore the game. VTith such little time to practice, the two teams got right to work. The senior coaches. Mr. Henry and Mr. . dams, put the team through drills during the practices and held scrimmages against each other. The junior coaches. Mr. Hickman and Mr. Savenelli. also ran drills, worked on plays and ran laps. All the coaches stressed that it was only a game and to treat it that wa). The sfKjrtsmanship between the two teams toward each other made the game that much more fun, said junior running back Te- resa Diloreto. Quarterbacking for the jun-ors were Judy Hesterly and Cari Widmer. and for the seniors, Carin Caroll and Tracey Johnson. Both Cathy Dobyiu and Rene Howard made the touchdow ns, and Sydne - Dull scored tw o which com- pleted the seniors ' victor) ' of 46-6. Teresa Diloreto scored the only touchdown for the juniors. The girls showed a lot of class, said Senior Coach Mr. Henrv. S ■ H ■■ H HBp - ' t ' ■jshlS I B I n H F ' - - ' -jL- r ' V T l p H B P ' w N ■ 9 Ui 1 1 1 j Vi9| 1 i 1 • c9B K . • T%a ' .
