Teresa Burghart listened to the drumming of her heart beat as she nervous- ly waited for the Homecoming Queen to be announced. After Christy's name was an- nounced, Teresa joined in with the cheers of congratulations. I was happy that she won. She is really a beautiful girl, Teresa said. Apart from being Colonel in the Gold Dusters, Teresa is also a member of the Stu- dent Congress and Student Leaders. Teresa plans to dance professionally and own her own business. Christine Schielke stood among the four other finalists waiting for the an- nouncement of who was to be the Homecoming Queen. Christine, known for her bubbly personality, showed happiness for Christy when her name was announced. Although all of the activities were a lot of fun, I guess you could say I was glad the competition was over, Christine said. Christine water skis, collects dolls and music boxes, and wants to become either a criminal pathologist or get involved in in- ternational relationships to travel. Melissa Wafer's hands trembled and her knees shook as she stood among the live finalists for Homecoming Queen. When Christy was crowned, Melissa's happiness showed through her heart warming smile. I am happy for her, Melissa said. Melissa is a Varsity Cheerleader for her second year, President of the Good Sportsmanship League, and Senator of the Senior Class. She also plans to graduate from Texas A8zM as a math teacher. Missy MOSS looked back on the week wondering who was to be chosen Homecom- ing Queen. While awaiting the final an- nouncement, her thoughts came to a stop at hearing Christy's name over the speakers. I was really excited for Christy because she is such a leader in both school and home ace tivities, Missy said. Missy spends her time counseling at a youth camp during summers and weekends and going out with friends. She also plans to attend Texas A8zM and major in Secondary Education. Written by Denise Carew.

Clouds Clear for Crowning The day started gloomy and overcast with showers breaking frequently. Nominees for Homecoming Queen looked out windows wondering if the rain would let up. As the time for the game grew near, the sky re- mained gray but the rain sub- sided. The ceremony for the crowning of the new Queen would go on as scheduled. Nominees Missy Moss, Melissa Wafer, Teresa Burghart, Christine Schielke and Christi Carter waited for half time. Finally, the time had come for these Seniors with their credentials to be announced. One by one they walked on to the field escorted by their fathers. The stands grew quiet as Christi Carter was announc- ed as the 1985 Homecoming Queen. With her arm in a cast, Christi's excitement with this honor showed clear- ly on her face. I was so hap- py I cried, she said. So the day that started dreary and damp, ended shin- ing bright for the new Queen and her Court. Written by Stephanie Cole. Tears ofjoy form in Christy's eyes as she is crowned Homecoming Queen.

Seniors Put Ritz In Skits It was the best Senior Show-Offs I've ever seen. It blew away last year's show, Sophomore Kieth Petosky said, Such reactions as this were popular among the im- mense crowd attending the extravaganzag crowds so im- mense that some had to be turned away after the stan- ding room only had been fill- ed to capacity. An income of 353300.00 helped the Seniors clear the needed mark of 253000.00 with the slightly spare 3300.00 go- ing toward the Senior Breakfast. Acts such as Who's On Line One , featuring Becky Fielder and Andrew Fishbach, the dance routine Can You Feel The Beat in- cluding Tamla Jernigan and Tracy Abrams, followed by Terry Huffstickler's vocal solo and Kim Beecham's vocal solo brought out the best in the Senior talent. Getting to see the excite- ment of the other Seniors when they performed reminded me of when I first began performing, Kim Beecham said. Written by Richard Zaborowski.
