The petite girl, clad in a mauve suit, positioned herself on the wet track. But this is far from her regular rou- tine of a sweat smelling gym, the sound of whistles, and perspiration dripping down a red bandana. Then, as gloved hands gripped her father's arms, she walked to take her place among the others. She is an athlete, she is a student, she is a beauty. She is Shari Cox, and she has gone from volleyballs to roses and from athlete to homecoming queen. It was neat for the weekend, and it was a big deal, I won't deny that, but it's over, Shari said referring to her homecoming title. I ' ln past years, the homecoming queen contest was only opened to those in pep club. Last year, Shari and other students fought for competition to 14X Homecoming QJPQ be opened to everyone And it was. But Shari stands up to challenge anything she thinks is unfair. If something's unfair, I stand up for it. My mom always tells me, 'you're not going to be able to do that all your life,' Shari said laughingly. Shari also has shown herself aca- demically, plus in sports earning a Var- sity letter in volleyball, basketball, and softball. Sure, people know I'm in sports, and I'm not ashamed of that, she said. But that does not keep me from being a girl. When I was on that field dressed up, I didn't feel like a jock. Then her wide, olive collored eyes glanced down to the track, remember- ing Homecoming 1981. . She remembers her -dad saying he neededya cigarette, and fondlysaying, Settle down sis, you'll be just fine. The innocent, clear ,skinned face I V hair. looked up again, recalling the anticip i I- tion and telling herself she was notg l I I 1 I . 5 5 i l xi' l l ing to cry.

And she will remember roses in her Contemp class, the parade, and her homecoming date lVlario's. Those will always be memories. Sweats traded for hose, tennis replaced by beige colored pumps a Grandview High School letter substituted by a mauve blazer.
