Youth-Leg delegotes earn high honors The 1982 Youth-Legislature program started long before the trip to Tallahas- see. It started with research for the bills, and mock debate sessions held In the Choctaw library after school on some Wednesdays. Once In Tallahassee the delegotes went to the Hilton, then on to a church across the street, where all the introduc- tory programs were held. The next day everyone was up bright and early for a joint session In the new capitol building. Then the House and Senate went to their respective chambers to begin debate on bills brought by the delegates from around the state. While the delegates were de- bating. those in the judicial program met In the Supreme Court building to argue cases brought before them. Saturday, after the morning debates, there was a joint session to present awards and reveal the officers for the 1983 Youth-Leg. program. Marty Lester was named Best Statesman of the House, while Kenny Roberts and Tim Hawkey were runners-up. Greg Still- man was runner-up for Best Statesman of the Senate. The Best Page was Sand! Scott.

38 contestants unmasked For Your Eyes Only” On a rolny Morch 6fh night, the Sen- k r Class presented The Miss CHS pog- eant to a sell-out crowd. The theme of the pageant was appropriately titled, For Your Eyes Only. As the show be- gan, thirty-eight lovely contestants stood with their faces covered by masks. When their escorts arrived, each girl lowered her mask and walked on the runway while her escort introduced her. Next all of the contestants danced in overcoats and sunglasses to Private Eyes. Following the group dance, each girl appeared on stage and modeled her formal gown while the emcees, Glenda Webb and Steve Petermann, provided detailed information about the contestant to the judges and audience. Next the top ten talent performed their talent. Angie Rimes twirled the baton; Hope Gaither, Pam Jones, and Prue Tip- pins sang,- Julie Sprague played piano; Tara Mosblech danced; Terri Thrush per- formed ballet; Robin Davis did a humor- ous interpretation; and Julie Mills did a gymnastic routine. After the top ten talent performed, all contestants reappeared on stage and top ten finalists were named. Each of them was asked a question and from those answers, the judges narrowed the competition to five. Then each finalists was asked, What do you think is the value of a pageant such as Miss CHS? The judges voted again and the emcees gave the final decision to the audience. Fourth runner-up was Robin Davis; third runner-up, Pam Jones (also chosen os Miss Congenialty); Hope Gaither, sec- ond runner-up; first runner-up, Prue Tip- plns; and Julie Mills was crowned Miss CHS of 1962. - Tracy Ton 3 22 MISS CHS
