Time to Talk Turkey ln late November, when the scent of cranberry sauce and giblet gravy was in the air, one could sense that it was time for thankful giving, and, more importantly, it was the time that the Turkey King was crowned. Each year two candidates were elected from their respected classes, and from those eight fine-feathered friends, a Turkey King was elected by a group of his peers, namely the student body. Candidates were seniors Brad Rozell and Robby Daniels, Juniors Evan Crowder and Derrick Winston, sophomores Paul Teel and Shane Kammerdiener, and freshmen Chuck Donica and Steve Mabry. For the second consecutive year, Paul Teel was crowned King of the Turkeys. lt must be destiny that caused it. l was born to be King, says Teel. But it wasn't that easy for all the Turkey candidates as senior Brad Rozell explains, lt's not just something that comes to you over- 24fTurkeys night. You have to work hard to achieve such a great honor as this. Whenever the thrill of victory was present, the agony of defeat couldn't be far behind, and the Turkey con- test was no different. l'm sure los- ing will leave me with some emo- tional scars, but l'll just have to train a little harder and get a little rowdier, remarks sophomore Shane Kammerdiener. The loss has really warped me mentally, l was so embarrassed. l may never be able to face my friends and close relatives again. I think l'll be forced to join a strange religious cult, commented Winston. The voting process was changed from the previous year. Last year pennies were counted as positive votes and silver coins and dollar bills were given negative votes, this year all that counted was the total amount of money that each turkey candidate received. Sophomore Paul Teel may never get someone to Charleston with him, but that did not stop him from winning his second Turkey title in a row.
