I was really surprised, l didn't even think l was going to be on appearances by the Central Alumni Band and the Hazelwood Junior Band. Also in the parade was the winning float by NHS which featured a foot- ball field garden. There was a farmer growing two crops, the Comets and the Hawks. The Comets turned out to be rot- ten and wasted, while the Hawks were healthy.

Volleyball captain enjoys 'best day' flirt, Amy accepts crown Being crowned queen was the best day of my life! commented Amy Stone- burner l12l. Amys surprise came during half-time of the Homecoming football game Oct. I7 against McCluer. I was so shocked, but excited that I didn't know what to do. One thing I did know was that my legs felt like rubber and kept shaking after the announce- ment, she said. Nick Westenberger lt2l, Amy's es- cort, mused, Amy is ab- solutely crazy and a lot of fun to be around. If anyone deserved to win it was her! A couple of days be- fore Homecoming, Toni Mana lt2j, Amy's best friend and volleyball co- captain, asked it she was nervous. About what? Amy replied. I never even thought about being queen. I was just happy about being on the court. Nevertheless, some friends seemed eager to kid her. Ohhh, do I have some stories to tell, joked social studies teacher Carl Doerr, But really, she is a great person. The one thing about Amy that makes every- one like her is that she is too busy being herself and having fun that she doesn't worry about being popular. Amy played Varsity Volleyball for three years and was elected team cap- tain her senior year. Her abilities caught the eye of opposing coaches who named her to the first-team all-confer ence. She also received the 11O0!0 award her freshman, Sophomore, and Showing off th pose for a frien Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q 8 DSW fashions, Tracy Kenner l12j, Beth Spalding l12l, and Tami Duggins C111 ds for Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q Q senior years. Volleyball coach Dave Grieshaber spoke highly of Amy and her accom- plishments: The qualities that Amy possesses are exemplified by the fact that her teammates selected her as captain. To a certain extent, she was our team this year. She was a leader on the court and a cheerleader on the bench. This fall, Amy plans to attend Northeast Missouri State University and possibly major in ac- counting. She chose NMSU because the account- ing program is ranked on the top ten best list in the nation. Another reason was because the school selected her for the Presidents Scholarship Award in recognition of her 3.8 grade-point average and leadership quali- ties. Also, Amy received the Bright-Flight Scholarship for 3S2,000. As for playing collegiate volleyball, Amy is undecided because she consi- deres her grades more important and needs to maintain a 3.5 grade-point average in order to keep her scholar- ships. IVlr. Doerr, commenting on Amy's future, predicted that she will have everything going for her. Besides Amy, other senior mem- bers ofthe Court were Stacy Conrad, Deana Cusumano, Michelle Graet, Holly Andersen, and Kelly Risheill. lSandy Morganl black and white ever picture.
