The experience and memories 1 gained from being in the pageant are ones that will stay with me for a lifetime and I encourage any girl who is thinking of going out to do it. I cannot even begin to describe the feelings I had when the Master of Ceremonies called my name as Miss DeKalb County Fair 1987. I felt relief and happiness all at once. I feel that it was the inspiration and support of all my friends that helped me the most. I was very proud to be representing Eastside High School that night. Thank you to all my friends who were there supporting me that night. You truly made it the best night of my life.

By participating in the pageants, I have learned a great deal bout poise, self-confidence and working with other people. It's a lot of work, but it's also fun. It's an experience that all of the girls benefit from. You meet new friends and have memories that will last a lifetime. I'd encourage any girl to participate.

Mow July 27th, when I sat down to write this article for yearbook, I have only one week left of my staying here. When I look back to the school year 87-88, it brings me lots of good memories. I arrived to Ft. Wayne July 30th. First thing in my mind was to go to bed and get some sleep, after two hard days in Mew York. When I stepped out of airport building, heat and humidity hit me hard, but later on I learned that it was nothing comparing with drought 88. My first host family was Bakers. With them I saw each one Eastside's football games; from Blazer Preview to Jimtown. I myself want to play, but it was too late when season was already going. Instead of playing football, I took part of school play and memorized some unforgettable lines such as I understand you have room to rent. December I changed for my second host family, family that I had been warned before (in a positive meaning) the Carpenters. While staying with Carpenters, I was manager for Varsity basket- ball team. I learned to kick start washing machine. Life went on, and I changed for my last host family; Sechlers. Also track season started and I ran track. Highlight of my school year was marine biology class trip to Florida. Even I missed the prom that everybody had been talking about, since Christmas I think the trip to Florida was best part of the school year. Finally came Graduation, (damet, missed Indy 500 because of it) and surprise! I got big cake and many presents. Thanks! I thank all my friends and teachers, they had lots of patience and good sense of humor when being with me. Special thanks for my host families and host brothers, their part was most important for me during this year. Hope I will see every one of you again. » ■ Student Life
