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.

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. Sweetheart candidates wait for the an- nouncement of the winner Korn Karnival 9

Seniors Claim Victory At Devilmania Meet It was a close race but the Class of 1987 managed to pull it off. In the annual Devilmania games, the seniors placed first overall for the second straight year. In fact, the entire afternoon was dominated by the juniors and seniors. The juniors led in scoring through seven events, but then the seniors made their move. With only four events left, the seniors shifted into high gear and defeated the juniors by four points. The final team standings were as follows: first with 46 points, seniors; second with 42 points, juniors; third with 32 points, faculty; fourth with 22 points, freshmen and fifth with 17 points, sophomores. The festivities began with a pep rally at 12:50 p.m. as the Devilettes performed to Can You Feel the Beat. Then it was time for the foot- ball players to “play cheerleader. Devilmania was held the remainder of the day. No new events were added this year and the Monster Walk and softball games were called off due to rain. The only new thing about this year's games was that the banana- split relay was held at Dairy Queen. Juniors placed first in poster deco- rations, lip-sync and the tricycle race. Seniors placed first in the three-legged race, obstacle course, banana-split relay, egg toss and pyramid building. The faculty placed first in the tug- of-war, jump rope and volleyball. Neither the freshmen nor fhe sopho- mores placed first in any event. Several students were asked how they felt about Devilmania and Sophomore Sharon Rues replied, It would have been better if it wasn't raining. Junior Richard Ratzburg thought is was pretty fun, especial- ly the lip-sync. People got into it more. As the finale for Devilmania, stu- dents were treated to hot dogs, chips and pop in the main hallway as they awaited the announcement of the results. Seniors Mike Keema, Chris Winscot. Craig Martin and Wade Hughes finished second in lip-sync.
