Truth and beauty are eternal, the memories of Crockett Revue will last forever s the student looked at the list posted on the wall, he saw his name and freaked out! Because he was selected for the Crockett Revue. When I saw my name on the list, I was -so excited! I couldn't wait to tell my mom! I was really excited! said junior Tia Clardy. Revue is a formal affair. The guys are to wear a suit and the girls a formal dress. At the same time in other parts of town this event is also happening at other high schools. So, the girls have to rush to the stores before the dresses are gone or picked over. A dress or suit has to be picked out in time for the pictures that are taken and posted by the office. The day I found out, I started looking for a dress and I saw so many other girls-I guess I wasn't the only person with a good ideal said junior Lisa Blankenship. After the rehersals are over, the night finally comes. Everyone arrives at Crockett at 5:00. All the girls are crammed in the restrooms for last minute touch ups, then the butterflies really begin to Hy. Spec- tators begin to arrive, anxious parents, grandparents and other relatives and friends are seated and waiting for the mo- ment that their contestant will walk across the stage. There is a panel of five judges that make the decisions. This year the judges were, Tony Degrate, lineman for the Texas Longhorns, Karen Helton, Foley's fashion workshop instructor, David Jones, offen- sive lineman for the Detroit Lionsg Martha Ramirez, McCallum VOE instructorg Kim Schaaf, Merritt, Schaefer and Brown assis- tant managerg and John Feltschik, a punter for the Texas Longhorns. These judges are chosen by the Senior class of- ficers and also by Mrs. Stoll and Ms. Bird. Hours of work from the Senior class goes into Beauty Revue. Decorations have to be made, rehersals have to be planned, they put a lot of hard work into this event. We worked really hard but we had a great time doing it! It turned out really well- I was pleased. said Senior class reporter Veronica Santos. After every contestant has been presented, the elimination process takes place. The contestants remain in the cafeteria until the decisions of the top twenty are made. You can hear comments flying through the air such as I am sweating so bad! or 'tThis tie is choking mel or This dress is suffocating mel Then the top twenty are announced and lined up to take a second walk down the runway. This is so the judges can get one last look before they pick the top 5 girls and top 5 guys. The decision of the top five is made and the top 5 take thier walk down the runway while the judges decide the top 3 girls and the top 3 guys and most photogenic. In this years Revue the winners were: beautiful, Kendra Young, handsome, Derek Rayg more beautiful, Julie Spell, more handsome, Alvin Pennickg most beautiful, Debbie Treceg most handsome, Michael Hafner, and most photogenic, Bo Magnusson and Lisa Perry. by Amy Smith if xv, CII- wav.:-LQ Yiivy 51:3 -Eff' f '.ii 'If ' rr --vial 9' -4 f . 3 1 I V- ' has
