BELLES STEP STYLE One could hear more than ringing of bells as forty-eight chaotic females assembled to com¬ pete in this year’s beauty pageant. Very ap¬ propriately entitled Bicentennial Belles, it was the girl’s contribution to our upcoming celebration with Mrs. Winters and Mrs. Vese- lik managing the accompanying anarchy. On the night of September 19, this usual “be¬ hind the scenes” confusion led to all the smiles and happiness of another successful pageant. AFTER ALL THE excitement is over, an exhaus¬ ting look escapes Karen Willis. OUT IN STAR SPANGLED ONE MORE PRACTICE run is taken by Carolyn Blevins as ushers, Steve Weisbrod and Charlie Richard¬ son lend a helping hand. BEFORE HER DEBUT, Jama Moore adds all the final touches that constitute a beauty. )8

HILE WAITING FOR the rain to subside, tracksters gathered under he shelters. HARRIERS HUSTLE The members of the cross-country team were frequently seen dashing through town by various and asundry routes. The harriers, as they are fondly called, were doing distance runs to increase their endurance and to build muscle tone. Some of these runners were participating to help them in other sports, whereas a few dedicated harriers simply loved to run. The tracksters came through with a great season. ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE outcome of the meet. Coach Neese looks on with interest. ALONG WITH MANY others, Hurricane Harriers take part in a district meet. NEARING THE FINAL lap of a regional meet, Wes Burkett holds the lead. 17
