I was so overwhelmed when I heard my name, I want- ed to cry, said Powder Puff King Carlos Mendeguia. During the one night war, of Powder Puff, the air was filled with the yells and screams of intense rivalry be- tween the senior ladies and the junior ladies. At halftime, the Homecoming King nominees were introduced, and then the king was crowned. Although it seemed a night for the ladies, it was also a special night for these special senior guys: Anthony VoUet, Carlos Mendeguia, Spencer Mellum, John Eck, Jim Reid, and Kelly Nichols. It was also surprising for Jim Reid. I had no idea that I would be nominated. It was an honor being picked with the Ei ' ©El.tT other five nominees. Each nominee had to fill out a resume. I took careful prepara- tion and thought out the possi- bilities well before making my fi- nal decision for king. It was intense, yet relaxed. Choosing a king was very difficult, and 1 am happy with my decision, said Se- nior Tiffani Downs. Drill team members were cho- sen to escort the nominees. When asked how Kelly Nichols felt about the drill team members es- corting them, he said, I think it was a very good idea since the drill team has supported and helped the football team out all during football season. was so ot ' erwhelmed when I heard my name, 1 wanted to cry, said Carlos Mendeguia after being crowned Powder Puff King.

lamMm f I Rrrrmg! It was 11:25 a.m. and that meant it was lunchtimt. Classrooms emptied and hallways filled, as hundreds ot students rushed to get to lunch. Many ot them fled to t-he parking lot where they soon became part of a huge traffic jam, cars bumping and pushing their way out of the parking lot. Many students went to McDonald ' s or Burger King since there was only forty-five minutes for lunch. Another popular place at lunchtime was the upstairs and downstairs cafeteria. Upstairs stu- dents could buy things such as Twinkies, Ding-Dongs and cold sandwiches. Of course both of these cafeterias included food fights and chocolate milk wars. Evei one in the lunchroom had soon found a particular table they sat at and a certain group of peo- ple they ate with. These people were seen sitting in the same place almost every day, and no one dared to take their place. Last, but not least, was the Av- enue of Knowledge. Many stu- dents relaxed and basked in the sun while they ate their lunches, hoping to possibly get a suntan through their clothes. Lunch seemed to be a welcome break for many students. It was a time to socialize and catch up on the latest events. Sophomore Jef- frey Bean said, 1 can ' t wait until lunchtime. By the time the bell rings my stomach is growling! Jenny Ease waifs in line in the upstairs cafeteria, hoping they haven ' t run out of Twinkies. Jennifer Grey and Pauhne Holzhauer tn ' to finish their lunch at McDonalds before the bell rings. 20
