PENNI CANNER ' S SPIRITED OUTFIT was a remnant of the Student Council volleyball game held just before the dance. THE CROWD WAS REASONABLY PATIENT as Deanne Mickey picks up her yearbook and Debbie Carnell awaits her turn. T wisted times A tradition returns once again Will you sign my yearbook next? echoed throughout the back gym at the yearbook dance October 30. The age-old high school tradition returned, but with a slight twist. We had the yearbook dance right after school tor the first time. This was mainly because of fall recess and the student volleyball game. It was well-attended but we will probably go back to an even- ing dance next year, stated Mr. Mike Frazier, yearbook advisor. About 120 students came to pick up their yearbooks and sat on the floor in the gym thinking of unique things to sign in their friends ' yearbooks. There really wasn ' t much dancing, but those that were there had fun as they listened to rock music blaring throughout the gym. The dance went as well as it could because of all the (athletic) practices, the stu- dent volleyball game and fall break. Next year it should be held at night so more people would be able to come, said sophomore Laura Ferry. The DJ for the afternoon was Vince Schuring. He played a varie- ty of music for the full two hours of the dance. Entertainment was not the only thing provided at the dance as refreshments were sold and students rummaged through pictures from previous school years. At a dime each, the memories were bargain-priced. 20 Yearbook Dance

I I Yf E RE SO EXCITED ... About performing to perfection In convincing style, Michelle Swiecki earned the title of Cedar Lake ' s Junior Miss in November. In addition to her crown, Michelle also won the Physical Fitness, Creative Arts, and Mia Johnson Memorial awards. As winner, Michelle traveled to Frankfort, to compete in statewide competition. TERRI SHEEHY WORKS OUT in the choreographed routine that demonstrates physical fitness at the an- nual Jaycees-sponsored pageant. SHOWING HER ATHLETIC ABILITY in the talent competition of Junior Miss, Cindy Grah dances to Cyndi Lauper ' s Girls Just Want To Have Fun. Sponsored by the Cedar Lake Jaycees, the Junior Miss Pageant received out- standing attendance. Advance tickets sold out so quickly that the sponsors opened the dress rehearsal to the public for those unable to attend the pageant. Junior Miss has been a fantastic ex- perience, Michelle said, and I would urge any high school girl to go for it when they are seniors. You learn more about people you know and you get to meet new people. Jennifer Dickerson was named first runner-up and she also won the Poise and Appearance category. Second runner-up went to Dani Nolan, while third runner-up honors went to Krysta Lytle. Krystal also won the Performing Arts Award singing Invincible by Pat Benetar. According to one member of the audience, she even sounded like Benetar. Denise Bonnema, who attended Crown Point High School, won Spirit of Junior Miss, given to the girl with all-around qualities representative of Junior Miss ideals. Jennifer Stawicki received the award for Academic Achievement. The girls who were interested in par- ticipating in Junior Miss and their parents were invited to a tea that would explain more about it. Some of the activities that Mrs. Chris Mickey, pageant official, spon- sored before the actual contest included bowling, roller skating, a slumber party, and lessons in grooming and make-up. When the pageant began the girls were first introduced in evening gowns to display their poise and appearance in that category. Talent competition was next, followed by a choreographed routine to I ' m So Excited, performed by all the girls. The song title was also the theme for the 1986 pageant. Audience member Dan Barney said the pageant was one of the best ever. The talents this year in Junior Miss lived up to its reputation, as competition built from the hard work of the contestants. junior Miss

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS grabbed the atten- tion of Jennifer Stawicki and Jocelyn Sheehy, as well as everyone else. IN TWO OF THE FEW CHAIRS available, Tammy Thiel and Theresa Travis share the memories while signing yearbooks. DANCING WAS ALMOST NONEXISTENT because students, like Diane Guba, spent most of the time autographing yearbooks. 21 Yearbook Dance
