CHRISTINE WALi r by Teresa Russell TO THE PL SCARED TO DEATH O n October 7, the “Miss Phoe¬ bus” pageant was held in the Virginia Room at the Chamber- lain Hotel. There were a total of 26 girls who participated in the beau¬ ty contest. The girls were judged on personality, poise, and beauty. The preliminary judging was done at a luncneon held at the American Le¬ gion Post 48 on the first of October. This was the personality portion. Each girl was given two questions by the judges to answer with a 3 minute time limit. Rehersals were held in the Virginia Room on October 6. Contestants were given the opportunity to get the feel of the walk they would take the following night. The girls got together for an im¬ promptu luncheon at Chi Chi’s Friday afternoon. This gave the girls the op¬ portunity to get to know each other bet- arrived, the with excit- The girls i and did last irdo’s. heard con- i the shortest ) go first, d you. , where Brad is i ,t Billy, he bet- - ' i Crystal Whue: 1 seem to have trouble sitting down with this hoop dress on.

With pleasant memories of the night before, the girls rode in the Phoebus Day parade, perhaps thinking about next years pageant. The contestants anxiously await their turn to take that long walk into the room and down the aisle by the judges. Christine Wallio steps onto the platform and models her outfit to the judges and spectators. Judy Powell turns to cast a smile in the direction of the judges. The event was hosted by the American Legion Post 48 of Phoebus. 23 Miss Phoebus

IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO BEGIN THE FESTIVITIES FOR PHOEBUS DAY by Schatzi Hawthorne A s spirit week came to an end, there also came a new begin¬ ning. Phoebus Day, which was on Saturday, Oct 8, was a day not only for Phantoms, but also for other schools in the area. The morning started with a parade and Phoebus High School could be seen as the first school approaching the reviewing stand. Phoebus’ Banner was proudly marched forth and was followed by the majorettes, band, flag corps and cheerleaders. The music be¬ gan to fade away as the convertibles followed the marchers. The first con¬ vertible contained our past and present principals. The second convertible contained the presidents of Phoebus’ S. C. A., Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes. The third convertible which displayed the 1983 Homecoming Queen, Lyndy Conner, slowly passed, and the crowd enthusiastically cheered the new queen. The cheering soon died down, and all eyes were on the beautiful float created by the senior class. It was followed by the junior and sophomore class floats. Though the un¬ derclassmen tried very hard, the senior class won the $75 prize given by the S. C. A. for the winning float. Some other honors that we won for the day were the Civilian Marching Unit Award and the Marching Unit Award which was given to the M.J.R.O.T.C. Both of these awards were given by the judges at the reviewing stand. Tim Baxter warmed up for the 10K road run with a short one mile run. The one mile race was open to anyone who wanted to test his ability to go that distance. The band, wearing their Phoebus 1 hats marched in the parade. The march route took them down Mellen Street onto County Street and the reviewing stand. Crystal Cooper and Cathy Mack represented the S. C. A. during the parade. Different organiza¬ tions sold various things to raise money. 25 Phoebus Day
