Informal and formal modeling followed the Can-Can. Each girl was escorted y volunteer fir- reign as Miss Flame '83-'84. ' was so nervous when they called Kim Burr's name because I knew the next thing would be the announc- ing of the winners, Junior Lisa Wray said. Practices began four weeks prior to the big night, Saturday, October 13, at 130 p.m. Since the 1960's the pag- eant has been held by the De- Soto Fire Department in the DHS Auditorium. On the morning of the pag- eant each girl was inter- viewed by a panel of three outside judges. The interviews were the worst part. You had to be able to talk to three people at once. The Eidges were really easy to tal to, though, sen- ior Kelli Bierhalter said. The pageant began with all emen, while emcee Ray La- Pere announced each candi- date and her school activi- ties. After the judges returned with their results, each fina- list was announced. Miss Flame and her court consisted of: junior Stacia Hood Miss Flame, lst runner up Courtney Riggs, 2nd run- ner up Paris North, 3rd run- ner ug Stacy Steiphenson, and 4t runner up ulie Wil- liams. Miss Congeniality was senior Rene Parker. Receiving this award was one of the est things that ever happened to me. The contest is not only based on outward agpearance but also on the c aracteristics and qualities of the person in- side, said Miss Flame Stacia Hood. Miss Flame! 19
