r Without Competition Float Fever Fades Away loat competition was ruled out this year as a result of last year s float destruction. That there were even floats was a major accomplishment. A great deal of work and compromises between the students and the teaching staff went into allowing floats to be built. Senior class president Jim Shields and Student Council president Jennifer Chidsey especially worked hard to get the floats. They spent many hours seeking the mutual agreement which was finally approved. “If it wasn’t for Jim and Jennifer, we wouldn’t have had float,” stated junior class adviser Miss Linda Ocepek. Motivation, however, seemed to be missing without competition. Most students felt that it as unfair to be punished for a previous class mistakes. There should be competition for it helps to motivate you to build a better float. Just because one class got out of hand does not mean that we all will,” said junior Chris DeClemente. Senior Julie Kohanski added, “I feel sorry for the underclassmen who never got to have competi- • tion. As to competition next year, the future is uncertain. This spring a committee will review how float went this year and then a decision will be made. Much rests upon how the student body behaves. As senior Merritt Jones said, “The seniors set a good example and it can only continue to get better. It all depends upon the seniors and their actions.” In spite of the float controversy by the pep rally on Thursday night, all the stu¬ dents were united. Jennifer Chidsey was named Queen and ruled over the football game on Friday night with her court of Tammy Nemetz, Zivana Jovanovic, Julie Kohanski, and Tracey Robinson. Pictured at right are the candidates. Row 1 : Katie Richardson, Julie Ko¬ hanski, Leigh-Ann Lethco, Amy Giovin- azzo, Tammy Nemetz, Jenny Coyle, Jac- quie Navratil.
