What did you think were the least and most popular parts ol an average school .day? In most peo- ple ' s opinion, the beginning of school in the nn)rning was the least popular part of the day, and the end of school was the most popular part of the day, unless you were unfortunate and had to stay after for tests or detention. The student store was a very popular place for people to hang out in, in both the mornings and after school. It was sort of a place for people to go when they didn ' t want to go out in the cold, or when they hated to see other peo- ple. One of the main reasons was because most of the students wanted to nourish themselves with a bag of M M ' s and a Cherry Coke. Another popular hangout was the lockers. There, one could communicate with friends, clean one ' s locker, or hide from people that they were avoiding. Another favorite was the gym. A lot of students played basket- ball after school for the whole year. One of the most popular hangouts for after school was the Avenue. Most of the ath- letes would hang out there while they were waiting to start practices. Probably one of the least popular things to do was to make up tests before and after school. Students either had to wake up an hour earlier to make it on time or they had to spend an extra couple of hours after school. After school students go to eacfi otfier ' s lockers to tr) ' and find someone to give them a ride home. 24

p couldn ' t heiieie it, because when 1 heard the ' sound my mouth just dropped. It was really great because all of us were really good friends, and it made it that much more special, said 1988 Win- ter Festival Queen Stephanie Owen, crowned by Mr. Andreascn. The cheerleaders perform with a special group of guys to Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy during the assembly. King Erik Mehringer and Queen Stephanie Owen take a moment together to share the thrill. The cheer of the crowd greeted each candidate as they walked through the tunnel of ROTC mem- bers. One by one they slowly emerged from the dimly lit doorway to the gym, all dressed in formal attire with smiles on their faces with an expression of anxious anticipation. Seconds became more like hours as they waited for the announcement. The announcement of King was only the first. King Erik Mehringer said, 1 was surprised because 1 didn ' t think that 1 had a chance; I was excited! Then came the announcement of Queen. Erik also expressed his feelings, I was also happy that both Stephanie and I won because we are such good friends. After the shock wore off and reality set back in it became a time for congratulations and cele- bration. It was really fun, and it was great being nominated. We all had such a good time; it was fantastic, said Queen candidate Camille Russell. I was really surprised and excited that I was even nominated. Every one of us was so close that it didn ' t matter who won. It was really exhil- arating, said King candidate Todd Glanzmann. Other Winter Festival activities included dress- up days such as Western Day, Blue and White Day, and Sweats Day. The assembly included a rap by Oreo, and performances by the cheerleaders and the Drill Team, with candidate competitions. Winter Festival 23
