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.
