Fall Karnival Gets Students Involved With the beginning of the school year, excitement, enthusiasm and the Kass Kounty King Korn Karnival just come naturally. Usually held at the end of Sep- tember, this county festival invites people of all ages to participate in the many competitions. This year, 52 seniors were recog- nized as dukes and duchesses. These people, dressed in suits and formals were invited to walk along in the coronation parade which was Thursday evening. Friday afternoon, the football players were the center of atten- tion. During the school parade, the cheerleaders rode down Main Street on their way to the afternoon pep rally. Football players followed in another car. No pep rally is com- plete without the Blue Devil march- ing band and this group provided music for the rally. Performing for the first time was the drill team. Newly organized with new uniforms, the girls danced to the song Love BGmb. Thirteen girls competed for the ti- tle of Sweetheart of 1986 this year. This contest is based on votes that each girl receives. Senior Peg- gy Elworth was honored with the ti- tle and rode in both parades on Fri- day and Saturday night. She was accompanied by the three runner- ups, Kim Freeburg, Sandi Baker and Debra Cunningham. Various groups around school joined in the carnival activities. Fu- ture Flomemakers of America set up a face-painting booth as a fund- raising activity. Another group in- volved was the PHS Bake Shoppe wh'ch sold monster cookies.

It's September, It's Karnival Junior Jeanne Carmlcheal shows off her new uniform as the cheerleaders perform for the first time at the pep rally Football players await the start of the pep rally held on Main Street. Another thought I was very excited when I was named Sweetheart of 1986. Besides the prize of $50 in cash. I also re- ceived a $200 savings bond. My mother really deserves my thanks because she called all my brothers and sisters and raised mon- ey for me. Riding in the neat car in a pretty dress for the parades was really nice. I was given a crown to wear. It was also neat that all the con- testants received a gift and the run- ner-ups received $50 in cash and a $100 savings bond. The contest went on for several weeks and I was very nervous but I did have fun and it is an experience I will never forget. I really did feel like a princess. — Senior Peggy Elworth Sophomores Jill Casey, Marie Humphrey, Tammy Leger and Julie Kastrick clown around at the pep rally.

Afternoon of Fun - Another Thought For the junior class entry in the lip- sync contest, we did You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. It was pretty wild. The atmosphere in the crowded gym was one of ex- citement! Our group consisted of Theresa Brueckner. Trish Hildebrand, Roxi Bradway, Daryle Abel and me, Caroline Olson. We came out dressed in tiger stripes, leather boots, “punked-out hair and shades. I sang lead vocal as Jon, Roxi played the guitar, Trish played bass, Theresa was on keyboard and, five minutes before our perfor- mance, Daryle volunteered to play drums. Considering we just got our stuff together that morning, we were pretty radical. And since then, the song You Give Love a Bad Name is sure to be remembered. — Junior Caroline Olson Missy Brumbaugh loses her balance as juniors build their way to a second-place J finish.
