Photo courtesy of DeSoto Fire Depart- ment Pageant includes exes reunion t ended with the phrase, “judges may I have the envelope please?”, but the Miss Flame contest for this year was more than just the contest. This year, sponsors of the event, the DeSoto Fire De- partment, decided to have all the ex-Miss Flames at- tend the event, so they went back and invited all of them. Each was recognized dur- ing the competition. Ac- cording to the first Miss Flame, the pageant had changed tremendously — she volunteered to become Miss Flame. Now, with over 40 high school girls competing for the title, the contest had be- come quite prestigious. The 46 contestants were judged on an essay, inter- view, informal and formal modeling, and overall ap- pearance. “Before they announced the winners, I was really ex- cited and eager to find out who the winners were not thinking I would be cho- sen,” said junior Wendy Pauken, fourth runner up. Other winners included: Miss Flame, Paris North; first runner up, Amanda Riggs; second runner up, Becky Moody; and third runner up Zoe Pennington. Dena Adams was named as “Miss Congeniality” to concluded the night’s win- ners. er WHILE EMCEE Ray LePere summarizes her activities, winner Paris North listens quietly.

Fifteen groups tried for 10 positions in the Senior Class’s annual “Air Guitar” contest, a money-making project for the class that earned almost $2,500 this year for the class’s Senior Week activities. When the curtains opened at 7 p.m., February 21, the crowd sat back in expectations of an enter- taining and amusing even- ing. Music ranged from hard rock to Top 40.

Syncers sing Two new acts added to the night — one a perfor- mance by a group of teach- ers known only as the “Talk- ing Heads”, and senior John Binkley sang the song, “Friends”, which he dedi- cated to his class. During the night, everyth- ing ran smoothly, even the sound system, a major con- cern in years past. Junior Danny Davis came to the sound system rescue and supplied a 1500-watt con- cert-type sound system to help the night’s perfor - mances. by Jennifer James
