The other day I was driving by Jefferson High School and I heard a loud ruckus. Being the curious person I am, I drove back towards the school. The closer I got, the louder it got. As I entered the build- ing I nearly went into a coma: you wouldn't believe what I saw. I came to the conclusion that it was a new breed of very strange stu- dents. Some were wearing safari gear, others were running around in under- wear, but most of them were screaming. I ran to the most normal person I could find and to my surprise he was calm. 1-le looked almost pleased with his crowd of maniac students. I asked him what was happening. I-Ie replied, Why, it's a typical J-I-Iawk pep assembly! Jodi Sickels ,.,? 5 Q

A group of excited candidates sit in front of their escorts while waiting for the photographers to take photos. 12 Homecoming Semi-finalists bi jo oi' their lives! As the students finished filing into the gym and were rapidly trying to find their assigned places, the excitement of wanting to know who the twenty-five semi-finalists were arose throughout the student body. Julie l-leese, vice-president of Student Council, started announcing the names of the girls. As the names were read, the girls popped up with excitement and made their way to the gym floor. Their escorts awaited and presented them with a pretty red rose. One semi-finalist, Alicia Michel, stated, I was so shocked when my name was said, I sat there for a minute, surprised. Being picked as a candidate meant a lot to Alicia because it made her feel good about herself. Being a cheerleader has kept Alicia busy in her spare time. Laura Mullin, another fortunate candidate, ex- plained, I was both surprised and shocked when my name was called. Laura found that she felt better about herself after being chosen. Activities Laura has found time to participate in are yearbook and cheerleading. The assembly to present the twenty-five queen semi-finalists occurred on Thursday, September 22, and proved to be suspenseful.
