CONGREGATIONS ... everyone likes to stay together. 0 0 0 Football games are a great place to be with friends. At the halftime celebrations, the varsity cheerleaders and the varsity football players get fired up to finish the game. Friends - - they make life worth living! —Alicia Dr ago y y Walking down the halls of the school, one sees groups of friends holding up the walls. Friends are an important part of high school. States senior Alicia Drago, ' Friends-- they make life worth living! ' ’ Friends sit together during assemblies, pep rallies, lunch, before school, and any other time that they can be together. In the classroom, friends try to sit together as often as they can, while teachers insist on seat¬ ing students in alphabetical order. There are many clubs and sports to partici¬ pate in. If you do not wish to become involved in a club or a sport, the sporting events are a sure place to find someone to hang out with. Homework is a common bond that draws seniors Donnie Sketo and Kristy Tomchek to the library. The Junior assembly provided another chance to visit friends. Already settled are Joel Mills, Billy Nel¬ son, Eugene Smith, and Mike Craft, as Jeff Smith makes his way to his seat. Eating in the cafeteria is a time to catch up on the day ' s events, and juniors Troy Fontillas, Jeter Holloway, Claude Barfield, and Byron Petrauskas do just that. 10 Student Life

The 1987 Junior Variety Show was unlike any other show ever held. It was in competition form, starting with tryouts and then narrowing down to semifinalists. The semifinalists performed on March 27 and from that finalists were chosen to perform on March 28. It was similar to the network television show Star Search with the categories Comedy, Drama, Vocalists, Dance, Bands, and Spokesmodels. Thus the appropriate name - - Star Search ’87. A lot of preparation was needed to put the show together. Costumes were needed and work to be done, but all taking part in Star Search did their best to get the job done. We just got together and after awhile things fell into place, said Senior Anthony McWilliams, winner of the dance competition. Music ranged from hard rock to rhythm and blues. Junior Monica Baker sang Lets Wait Awhile from the Janet Jackson soundtrack to win in the vocalist competition while Dawn at Dusk, winner of the band competition, Fought for their Right to Party! , a song by the Beastie Boys. Soph¬ omore Sean Masciandaro, guitarist for Dawn at Dusk, said, It was great to feel the enthusiasm of the audience. The spokesmodel competition was won by Freshman Angela Carter. I ' ve always wanted to do something like this so I did, said Angela. Comedi¬ enne Monica Wright, a senior, won the comedy competition. Back on a more serious note, the dra¬ ma competition was won by Kit Allen and Kim Sierk in their performance of Whose Life is it Anyway? by B. Clark. Kit says, I just wanted to show my friends and myself that I could do it. I don ' t want to be an actor but who knows? As always, the winners of Star Search ’87 will move on to bigger and better things, but no one will forget the two nights in March when the stars shined. Junior Variety Show H
