i' An act never to be forgotten is performed by the Coxendales, pure entertainment for the audience. Master and Mistress of Cere- monies, Matt Valerio and Susan MacDonald, introduce the next act. The questioning period of the Mr. Cox Pageant plays a vital part in determining a winner. Candidates are also modeling formal wear. Candidate 5, Sean McKenzie, poses for the audience as he models in the beachwear seg- ment. A FLAIR FOR TALENT Entertainers Provide Memorable Performances Nervously, the con- testants checked their watches. Excitement and anticipation conquered their every thought. In just ten minutes, the spotlight would be upon them. Sounds of muffled voices could be heard from beyond the closed curtains. The lights flickered, then dimmed. A hush fell over the audience. The show began. Last spring, the students put on two special per- formances, the annual tal- ent show, and the Mr. Cox pageant. The entertainers that were involved, dis- played various forms of tal- ent which ranged from poetry readings to dirty dancing. All of the contestants pro- vided entertainment that was both exciting and entic- ing to the audience, but two acts are particularly mem- orable. They are the dancing act of the 'Coxendales,' and a ballet routine of Mr. Cox 1988, Eric Townsend. There is no doubt that the most talented students attend Cox. We proved it last year at these pageants, and we will do it again this spring. STUDENT LIFE 9

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME Prom '88 — A Grand Affair Seniors proved that they were born to be wild at Prom last spring where they celebrated the night away. It was a particularly special night because it was the last dance that they would share together as a Senior class, and it was the best formal ever. The dance floor was packed with couples who were moving to the beat of the Willies. Some couples danced and sang to the music of the Willies. Others re- called and discussed fun memories of their past four years. Still others just sat back and soaked in the atmosphere. No matter what the Seniors did, they had the time of their lives. When they left the hall that night, they had passed one of their last milestones in their high school years, and what a milestone it was. The Senior excitement and enthusiasm had raised the roof at Grand Affairs. But then again, they were born to be wild. STUDENT LIFE 11
