Amidst Frills And Hearts Valentine's Day was a busy day for contestants in the annual Sweetheart Pageant sponsored by the FHA Club. Entrants in both di- visions met early in the day with a panel of three judges to be inter- viewed. After some last minute practicing, the girls returned home to dress for the pageant held in the school gym.

After judging the girls on poise, appearance, and speaking ability, the judges chose Sherry Goodwin as the high school queen and Jessi- ca Logan as the elementary queen. Runners-up in the high school di- vision were Sandy Salter and Betsy Koppie. In the elementary division, they were Reesa Badon and Jenni- fer Trahan. Other high school contestants were Eva Comeaux, Tonya Logan, Becky Cory, Erica Laria, and Eliza- beth Comeaux.
