' f ,,.. if, .Ln , W- my eft friend Text bg Sondee Hill Suddenly her name broke the si- lence. As she stepped into the car to enter the traditional parade, she turned to me and held up two, little blue pom pons. Tears came quickly as I watched my best friend, Kim Parker, circle the the track as Grandview's 1979-80 Homecoming queen. I knew she wouldn't forget. My mother had always given Kim and I blue pom pons for good luck during cheerleading tryouts and when she was nominated for Homecoming queen, I knew they were the only suit- able good luck gift. And in the midst of all the excitement, Kim gave me that special moment, so I too could share in her glory. But then Kim is a very special per- son. It's hard to believe that someone so beautiful, could even be human. But she is. She is much more than just a pretty face. Though her face isn't easily overlooked. The extra long eyelashes framing her exagerrated eyes only be- gin to tell the story. And her long, curly hair does a queen's crown justice. But the funny thing about it is she doesn't even realize it. But I know differently. Ever since I can remember, Kim has been placed on a pedastal and admired. Even I, her best friend, list her as one of my idols. But to Kim, she's just plain old Kim. And even more importantly, Kim said in ten years she'll remember the parade, and the dance, and the crown, but above all, she'll remember her friends. It seems like a dream. It's sort of hard to remember, she said, Ilbut I can't forget my friends. We'll remember her too. Kim will always be our Homecoming queen, and all of us, Kim included, will look back on this time as a much too important event to be forgotten. 'It's the neatest thing that ever hap- pened to me, Kim said, 'land some- day I'lI be able to show my picture in the yearbook to my kids. She's not the only one. In years to come, when my children and I flip through my annual, I'lI be proud to point to Kim and say, 'she's my best friend.
