Despite the rain, Homecoming proved to be a success. Over 90 couples attended the dance and the Student Council made a profit of over S200, an amount which hadn't been reached in several years.

With no competition, the Senior Class automati- cally possessed the winning float. As the end of the game approached, the muddy uniforms made it hard to tell one team from the other. The final score was 41-6, making Lafayette the winner of a landslide victory. The Homecoming game was truly an occasion to celebrate, and this seemed to make the dance all the more worthwhile.

THE CHOSE lfor the H girls involved in the l980 Junior Miss Pageant, the night of Septein- ber l8th was the culmination of a great deal of hard work and perseverance. The girls from Lafayette, Henry Clay, Tates Creek, and Sayre had gathered more than a month before to begin preparations for that special night. The Junior Miss competition was estab- lished to give talented girls the recognition they deserve. Junior Miss is also a chance for young women to show their talents and use these talents to gain financial aid. An estimated S200,600,000 in prizes and scholarships will be awarded on the local, state, and national levels this year. The contestants werejudged in five cate- gories: scholastic achievement, youth fit- ness, poise and appearance, creative and performing arts and, the most important of all, the Judge's interview. Even though Lafayette only had three girls participating, fSusan Nelson, Christy Fugate, and Lori Blackj it was well repre- sented. Christy Fugate received the Spirit of Junior Miss award, the Scholarship Achievement award and was named Sec- ond Runner-up, while Lori Black was crowned the new 1980-1981 Junior Miss. The three girls from Lafayette helped each other through all the ha work. There were times when, as Susan Nelson said, Each of us wanted to quit, but the other two sid, 'No, you can't!' They became very close friends also and, as Christy Fugate put it, We cried and laughed together. Lori Black summed up the spirit of Junior Miss by stating, It's an honor to be in, but it'sjust for fun. Top: Lori Black is the chosen one, Lexington's 1980 Junior Miss.
