lr. Miss reaches for the sky Reach for the Sky symbolized more than a theme for the Junior Miss Pageant to the thirteen contestants in the spring of 1977. The pageant began in March when the applications were filled out and the physical fitness routines were begun to the music of Outa Space. The record num- ber of participants drew numbers to become two groups, The Sunshines and The Rainbows. In these groups they were judged on physical fit- ness, poise and appearance, and talent. The two other areas of the contest are the judges' inter- view the afternoon of the contest, and scholastic achievement, which was decided by faculty com- mittee. Bonnie Hensle was awarded a charm for scholastic achievement. Cheryl Teade' was cho- sen for physical fitness. Beaming over their accomplishments are the second runner up, Robyn Bruya: Debbie Eng, Colfax's Junior Miss, and winner of the poise and appearance, and tal- ent competition, and first runner up and spirit of Junior Miss, JoAnn Ray. Balloons, a handpainted backdrop, a speedily built ramp, and quick clothes changes will be the moments thirteen seniors will remember from the May 22 Junior Miss Pageant.

Fair royalty provide warm smiles and friendship .F The Palouse Empire Fair actually begins early in June, and the try-out date for Col- tax's Fair Royalty stands out importantly in the minds of eight girls. Talent, poise and appearance, and public speaking, in the form of an impromptu question, challenge each. Vicki Maier presented Forget, in oral interpretation, Renata Appel played the piano. Renata and Vicki were chosen as princesses, and Stacy Walton was crowned queen. She played Nadia's Theme on the violin. Soon after, the royalty went to work with booster button sales and public appearances. They toured the county, and promoted the fair on TV. From September 8-11, Stacy competed in the Miss Palouse Empire Fair contest, and the girls rode the float, which was designed and built by last year's royalty. 12 COLFAX SHEET METAL I i i 7' I f 1 1.

Sadie Hawkins' Girls' League created Heaven on the Seventh Floor for the night of November 5, transforming the gym into a shining world. Despite problems booking a band, the Sadie Hawkins' will be remembered as a success, with wispy cotton clouds, glitter, and foil stars a part of the memory. The cou- ples became the entertainment when the band, Something Else, invited them to, bump or hustle on the stage. Couples wearing matching shirts con- tinued the tradition of the girl-ask-guy dance. 1.
