All at Once Tension, anxiety and sadness overcome coronation attendance. The lights dimmed, the music started and the emcees Roxie RocKvam and Mike Fasching began to speak. The traditional procession of the nominees and their parents provoked a lot of emotional feelings. The crowd applauded and cheered as each new nominee was presented. Slowly, the tension mounted. After all the nominees were presented it was time for a message from last year's queen Connie Stallman. She wasn't present, however her counsin, senior Laura Stallman read a letter from Connie. Mike Mittelstaedt and Sherryl Stark man were the crowners. Mike is the captain of the soccer team and Sherryl is the captain of the tennis team. The crowd fell silent as the drum began to roll. The spotlight danced from face to face. The crowners paced from nominee to nominee. The butterflies fluttered about in the stomachs of the candidates. For what lasted about a minute seemed like an hour. Then it happened. A week's worth of campaigning was over. Mow came the long awaited moment, the moment of truth and glory. Two of these lucky nominees were about to become the Homecoming Ring and Queen. Seniors Chris and Karen were crowned. As the crowd relieved their tension, music began. Senior Lori Hultgren was chosen out of six girls to sing All at Once to the court. I based it on their personality toward other people. The homecoming king and queen represent the whole school and a good personality makes the school look better. -Senior, Michelle McMillan. For Hcrr rr,r

Never Say GoodbyE brought tears to eyes as seniors had last horrah 7 liked Come as You Are Day' best of the 1988 Sno Daze events. All I did was wake up and go to school. ■ Freshman, Pat Horgan On Ferbruary 8. 1988, in the Mound Westonka gym another king and queen were crowned for the annual Sno Daze week. Since it was Dress-Up Day, many students came in their Sunday best. Many parents were also in attendance. The theme, nev-er Say Goodbye proved to be a touching thought as many seniors realized that this was their last hurrah. Seniors Kelle Downey and Jon Eiss hosted this year's ceremony. Eiss's fauxpas, The 1988 Sno Daze King and Queen are Cory and Linda, oh I mean Jackie,'' turned out to be an unexpected bit of humor and lightened up the occasion. Of course he meant Cory Leopold and Jackie Van Horssen, but bear in mind that Cory and Linda are going together. The theme song. Goodbye, was sung and performed by senior Lori Hultgren. Bridget Larson accompanied Lori. It was a very emotional song leaving many senior girls crying. The music and the glittering decorations of balloons and streamers added to the festivites. Junior Bobby Jenks read the traditional letter from the previous queen, his sister Debbie Jenks. Crowning the king and queen were Breck Jenson, captain of the girls' basketball team, and Jason Hopkins, captain of the wrestling team. The crowning always adds tension to the audience, parents and candidates themselves. But after a couple minutes the tension was relieved as the crowns were finally place on the heads of the King and Queen. The Sno Daze dance was held on Saturday, February 13 at Community Services. The band was Last Exit.
