The 15th annual All American Girl Pageant was held in the Graham Memorial Auditorium on November 14, 1987. Twenty-three con- testants competed for this prestigious title. The show was full of talent and entertainment, in- cluding group dances like the Charleston, the Bop, and a dance to Fame,” as well as the traditional ALr Jam. The girls' talents ranged from singing, to performing skits, to dancing, making the judg- es' decision very hard. Six finalists were chosen to perform their talent for the audience and judges. Leslie Stroud, a finalist for four years, was crowned by the reigning All American Girl, Wendy Phillips. For Leslie, for all the per- formers, and for those behind the scene, this pageant will always remain A MONTAGE OF MEMORIES. All American Girl, Leslie Stroud — “Oh Yeah!

At the beginning of each school year, we have certain expectations about the upcoming year. We set goals for ourselves and then strive to achieve those goals. The band practices long and hard, trying to perfect their marching show in hopes of advancing to the state com- petition. Tlie choir, cheerleaders, and pep squad also spend many hours perfecting their skills as well. What athletic team doesn t have hopes that this year will be the year that we will achieve many victories for the Steer and Lady Blue fans in that particular sport? Those hopes are marked by many hours of sweat and hard work. Groups are not the only ones who set goals for themselves. Individual students begin to think about the competition ahead, whether in class or whether at a district speech meet or math competition, and begin to prepare themselves for the year ahead. But just as important are the accomplishments made by our student body as a whole. We are very proud of the organizations and individuals at our school who try to be the very best they can be. We are even prouder of the spirit we displayed at the beginning of this year, especially in the pep rallies, the spirit that shows we re “Looking Great in '88.” Opening 11
