My favorite part about being an escort was the crowning kiss. - senior Joe Purvine easonal queens receive congratulations Sitting on pins and needles, the candidates waited anxiously for the announcement of the new queen. With each seasonal royalty, the same exact feelings and pressures were present in all of the candidates. I was so nervous about who was going to win, said senior Shelly Smith. During the football season Shelly reigned as the homecom- ing queen. At her Coronation she was escorted by senior Joe Purvine. Senior attendents were Paula Hogner and escort Lance Rumsey, Kim Kerr and escort Bobby Brock. Junior attendents were April Waldroop and escort John Sexton, Angie Triplett and escort Kent Kreiger. 'LI liked being a junior escort because of the friends I gained by being one, said April. Two months later senior Jamie Aston, escorted by senior Chris Splitt, was crowned the wrestling homecoming queen during the assembly for her and her court. Her senior court included Shelly Long and escort John Williamson, Kelli Craig and her escort Todd Stapleton. Bridgette Bennett and escort Steve Landry and Kristi Jones escorted by Jimmy Filippo were chosen as the junior attendants. Christie Scofield, escorted by Kirk Lutz, accepted the crown for the basketball season. Since Christie and I are such good friends, it was easy for me to escort her. I had a good time too, said Kirk. One of the more prestigious titles of the year was that of Mr. and Miss MHS. Students were nominated by the faculty ac- cording to grade point average, school spirit and dedication to the school. After two run-off elections and one week of waiting, Brent Gilson and Holly McCoy were finally announced Mr. and Miss MHS. I was happy to win the title, said Holly. I feel so good to represent our school. ervous Grin. After being crowned wrestling homecoming queen, senior Jamie Aston can't control her excitement.
