And Attendants Beth Patrice Bolden Monica L. Cooper First Attendant to Miss Douglass, Beth Patrice Bolden attributed her success to her campaign managers and the exposure she received as a varsi- ty cheerleader. Many of her underclassmen votes, Beth said, came from my friends from Waiter White Elementary School that are now Sub-freshmen. Beth felt her presentation in the assembly helped, also. Here essay was entitled The Effects of Rea- gonomics, on Young People, involving the registra- tion and draft and cut backs on welfare benefits. When asked if she had one wish other than to be Miss Douglass, What would it be?. She replied, I would wish for peace around the world. Aside from the obvious glory of being elected, Beth said she gained many friends and was able to participate in various activities such as Turner High ' s Royal Brunch. After three months Beth still couldn ' t believe she was First Attendent to Miss Douglass. The thing that brought it all down to reali- ty, Beth said, was the new friends she ' d made. When asked what advice she ' d give to those who would wish to run in the future, Beth said. Stay the same, keep it to yourself and when you decide to do it, do it! Monica Cooper was in Mr. Franklin ' s math class when she heard the news that she was Second At- tendent to Miss Douglass. When asked what her first reaction was, she replied, Tears! Astonishment! I was really dumbfounded. Monica was happy to have this title bestowed upon her. She doesn ' t plan to change in any way. Monica said, I will continue in my friendly attitude and be warm to everyone — just be myself. Achieving that goal has given Monica the incentive to try for bigger and better things, she said, With this accomplishment I ' m more apt to excel in more of my endeavors. Winning this position of Second Attendent has given Monica a positive outlook on many things in life. I felt happy, nervous, jubilant and just over- whelmed. It was a real treat, and something to be proud of for a longtime. This was Monica ' s descrip- tion of her walk down the gymnasium floor, after being introduced in the coronation. We salute Moni- ca and wish her much success and happiness. Classes ol
