Piece of Sky Don Partridge and Benny Bidwell tried to help Otto. Don Partridge got advice from Shawna Wilkins. 28 Student Life Play Cathy Leatham spoke to her sons. After five weeks of intense practice, the Madison Avenue Players put on the play, Pip- pin. It was the story of the son of Charlemagne and his search for complete fulfill- ment. Time after time Pippin was left feeling empty and va- cant. After falling into de- spair, he was challenged to play out his grand finale. Pip- pin refused the facade world and discovered his real self and the real light within. Don Partridge played the part of Pippin. David Waddell played his father, the King. David Tlney played Satan. Sara Frost played Pippin ' s girlfriend, and Benny Bidwell played her son. Shawna Wil- kins played Pippin ' s grandma. Cathy Leatham played Fastrada and Jeremy Hackworth was Lewis. It was a good play and the message about suicide was a positive one, said Greg Wightman. I enjoyed the songs, the actors, and the lighting, said Robin Erikson.

The annual Miss Madison Pageant was held May 3, 1986. It actually began at the end of January, since a pro- gram of this size takes a long time to prepare. The seven- teen girls who participated in the pageant completed the School of Charm, instructed by Shirlene Magleby. The classes focused on color co- ordination and wardrobe, make-up application, poise, etiquette and interview. Nine weeks were needed to com- plete the program. The few days before the pageant were very hectic for the parents, teachers and especially the girls. The night of the event several of the girls had a bad case of butterflies. The girls were judged on scholastic achievement, poise and ap- pearance, and physcial fitness which counted fifteen percent each. Talent counted twenty percent and interview was thirty percent. The average preparing time was from one year to six months. It was im- portant to be up to date on world events and to have the chosen talent perfected. The cost of the pageant ranged up to a thousand dollars. At the end of the competition the judges quickly decided on the next Miss Madison. Laura Luke was named Miss Madi- son 1986. Angela Meyers was first runner-up, Alana Roundy second, Shawna Wilkins third, and Lisa Anderson was fourth Runner-up. Miss Madison Laura Luke shows off the talent that helped her win her title. 30 Student Life Miss Madison
