FBLA Presents Beauties In An Elaborate Fashion Semi-finalists Linda Griffith and Linda Rosser await the momentous decision of the judges. Newly crowned Miss Falls Church High is overcome with emotion and her sister shares in her happiness by hugging the proud father. Astonishment mingles with happiness as Daren Poole is crowned Miss Falls Church High and Michele Egnot and Linda Griffith are honored as first and second runners-up. As a very charming and graceful girl walked down the runway, Bob Stigers, our answer to the Miss America Pageant’s Bert Parks, revealed the carefully guarded information. . . Her measurements are 36-23-35. and her hobbies are talking, eating, and wrestling with the boys on her block.” The front rows could see a bright red blush come over her face—as could the back rows. Over to the side, a select group of judges was tallying the scores on beauty, charm, and grace, while the experts in the audience were picking their favorites as the halfway point was reached. Before the audience went out for intermission, they were greeted by none other than old St. Nick, alias Bill Herbert, with his bag full of valuable door prizes. Other entertainment was provided by the fine Falls Church A Capella Choir singing selected Christmas carols. After the break for refreshments, the contest concluded with the evening gown competition and an extemporaneous question-answer session which proved to be the most severe test of poise and intelligence for the semi-finalists. Finally, the judges went into confer¬ ence and the results were announced: Michele Egnot and Linda Griffith, first and second runners up respectively, and sophomore Daren Poole, queen of the F.B.L.A.’s Miss Falls Church High Beauty Contest. 18

The spirited Mike Thomas coaxes the Senior Powder Puffers on to victory. Feminine Jaguars Emerge As Gridiron Grizzlies Wednesday, October the 15th, marked the day that our sleek feminine Jaguars shed their shiny spotted fur coats and emerged as gridiron grizzlies destined to engage in a battle rivaled only by the siege of Troy. The steamrolling juniors drew first blood but the seniors found what turned out to be the junior’s Achilles heel when they stopped the extra point attempt and with renewed morale, struck back to take a 7—6 halftime lead. The halftime festivities were highlighted by an award winning performance by a select few of the Falls Church High School championship band and a water fracas between the masculine, but charming, cheerleaders. Back on the field came the two titanic forces to trade blows until the game was called because of darkness and multiple injuries. Final score: the Super Seniors edged out the Mighty Juniors in a real squeaker: 14—13. Rough, tough Julie Short and speedy Sara Stiff frighten the Ju¬ niors into defeat. Practicing for the big game, Junior Powder Puffers scramble, block, and collide.

As if mystified by their own folk songs, Bonnie Isom and Anita Ferrone provide the needed atmosphere and entertainment for the Variety Show. Originality and Imagination Prevail at Variety Show Atmosphere, imagination, and excitement were the key words to success for the Art Club’s annual Variety Show this year. Entertainment included go- go girls, pop-group bands,Hawaiian and modern jazz dancers, and baton twirlers. Although those in charge of the activity feared a poor turn out because of a postponed basketball game to be played that night, the little theater housed a crowd of over 300, a turn out that more than fulfilled the Art Club’s hopes. The money raised enabled the club to present their an¬ nual art scholarship. Concentrating on carrying out an important sequence in his band ' s performance, Geoffrey Grosvenor sends out his xylophone ' s me¬ lodious notes. Doug Maher watches intensely for the cue to his part in the Variety Show. 19
