Sis LiI Sis serenading. While all of these activities were going on a lot of hard work went on behind the scenes. Each class had props to make, songs to write, lines to practice and costumes to make. After days of preparation, the festivities were brought to a head by a picnic in the courtyard. The picnic was kicked off with a march into the courtyard by each class to introduce the individual themes. The freshman class brought with them The Big Chill, and The Show Must Go On was produced by the sophomores, while the juniors followed with It ' s a Small World. As tradition carries the senior class delivered a theme of it ' s About Time. Maki ng their grand entrance, seniors ran through the courtyard throwing sticks of gum to the bystanders. Then came the seniors ' time machine filled with balloons. As the march ended seniors gathered on the steps of Belk Dining Hall to sing to the other classes. With these events the picnic was in full swing. But this was no ordinary picnic! Meredith students had a chance to eat all of their favorite junk food — cotton candy, peanuts, ice cream, candy apples, foot-long hotdogs and hot apple cider. A few girls probably needed Pepto-Bismal after this shindig!! Shortly after the picnic everyone scattered to take care of last minute preparations before going to Jones Auditorium. After donning costumes, each class proudly filed in and found their seats. Once again, Jones Auditorium was screaming wild with excitement — girls jumping up and down and yelling chants of enthusiasm at their adversaries while anxiously awaiting the commencement of Cornhuskin ' ' 86. The roar of the auditorium gradually subsided as the lights dimmed and co-choirs Beth Cunningham and Kim Eberle took their respective places as coneheods in the Danger Zone. Cornhuskin ' ' 86 hod begun . . .
