One enthasiastic teacher, Mrs. Allen said that it’s “wonderful” to be back. For most teachers, the first day of school is the busiest, most hectic day of the school year. “It’s always very busy at the be¬ ginning and there’s always too much to do and not enough time to do it,” said Mr. McQuiston. Many teachers weren’t hit by the realization that the first day of school arrived until they saw the school buses and students while others had been looking forward to school beginning for weeks. “I’ve been looking forward to it (school beginning) since June 8,” said Mr. Bays. However, for both teachers and students alike, the first day of school marked the beginning of a 180-day test of endurance! Sandi Woodke “It’s wonderful to be back!” Mrs. Sally Allen 6 First Day

1 2 Weeks Forming friendships while preparing for the big night took 6 weeks out of 9 seniors’ lives T hey had spent six weeks working t owards this day. Six weeks of seeking sponsors, rehearsing at 6:30 in the morning, learning routines, sweat¬ ing, laughing, feeling frustrated but feeling close and having fun. Suddenly the day had arrived. The time for learning routines, po¬ lishing talent, and trying to walk gracefully in high heels was over. Over too, were the pizza parties, and the talks over doughnuts and orange juice every morning—six weeks of preparation for one spe¬ cial night. When the moment came to an¬ nounce the winners, the nine senior girls held hands in anticipation, and even though the evening was far from flawless, the girls felt too good for words. Finally the master of ceremonies, Chris Morrison, announced the win¬ ner and Michelle Martin emerged as 1987’s Junior Miss. Other winners were Nicole Guske as first runner- up, and Sandie Behrens as the sec¬ ond runner-up. The rest of the girls agreed that even though there were only nine of them, what they lacked in numbers, they made up for in fun and enthusi¬ asm. The pageant may have ended, but the friendships and memories remained. Shannon Joyce A moment of confusion hits the Physical Fitness routine on the night of the pageant.
