King Garners Autumn Crown By Joe Bennett Her initial reaction to her nomina- tion for Autumn Queen was one of hysteria. She became nervous over the prospect of being paraded in front of 500 unruly McCallie stu- dents. Nevertheless she rose to the occasion, and after an impressive, if not awing, appearance in assembly, Miss Kimberly Sue King was crowned the 1980-81 Autumn Queen. Five candidates were nominated for the honor by the Varsity Football and Cross Country teams: Lee Franck, Notre Dame, Sherri Hilde- brand, East Ridge, Kim King, Notre Dame, Meg McCall, G.P.S.p and Lisa Schumpert, Christian School. These five then attended an assembly, where they were introduced to the drooling student body. Students in grades 9-12 then voted for their choice. The following weekend, at halftime of the Kirkman tfootball game, Miss King was crowned the winner. Kim was a junior at Notre Dame High School, where she has been a cheerleader and a member of the Booster and Spanish Clubs. But at least a part of her loyalty belongs to McCallie. Strangely enough, it seems that Kim traded in her Irish cheerleading uniform for a blue and white one. When asked why she pre- ferred to cheer for McCallie, Kim re- plied that she had just always been for McCallie. But further probing revealed another primary motiva- tion: to cheer for her boyfriend, Robby Taliaferro. Evidently Kim's heart belongs to McCallie, or at least l An elated Kim King recesses from the field, having been crowned by Mr. Vernon Cox, president of the McCallie Parent Association. to the McCallie senior. So Kim was already well-known among McCallie students as a cheer- leader. But facing some very worthy competition, she modestly doubted her chances of winning. Her selec- tion came as a complete surprise, as the name of the winner had been a closely guarded secret until the crowning ceremony. That night, es- corted by a shaky Marc Harwell, Kim remained calm. Marc kept asking me what to do if I won, but I told him not to worry because I knew I wouldn't. Moments later Kim left the field, after donning the genuine tiara crown of the McCallie Autumn Queen.
