A LiHIe Limeli ht The l977 Miss Retrospect Pag- eant, sponsored by the Junior class was a gala affair. As the maior proiect to raise money for the Jun- ior-Senior, the theme of A Carnival of Beauty was chosen with the stage decorated like an old-fash- ioned amusement park. Committees were formed for all of the necessary proiects, and prep- arations got underway. Using their time after school, the class worked on and stored the decorations at Lawton Benton's house. After mak- ing a carousel, Calliope, and clowns to hold helium-filled balloons, the Juniors added their own personal touch by bringing stuffed animals. With her usual ingenious notions, Mrs. Jones brought lively entertain- ment to the audience. Several selected and gifted iunior boys sang and danced a rendition of l'm Just a Girl That Can't Say No to the delight of the audience. More amusement was provided by the fifth grade girls who dressed as mice and also sang and danced. The most hilarious form of merriment was a mock beauty pageant with boys from the entire upper school partici- pating. With their flaunts and antics, a winner, Carson Benton, first run- ner-up, Lewis Butler, and second runner-up, Kenneth Hucks were announced and topped the enter- tainment portion of the 1977 Miss Retrospect Pageant. lll In preparing for the pageant, Shari Leach lends a hand in painting the stage decora- tions. l2l Practicing for their lively portrayals as dancing girls, Mike Hobeika, Dennis Hucks, Ronnie Nuckles and Tommy Hamilton enioy their auditions with extra legs to help them out.
