With the start of every school year things change, but one thing is for certain: students play an important role in making the annual Kass Kounty King Korn Karni- val a success. Beginning with dismissal from school at noon on Friday until the mud drags on Sunday, students are kept busy. The kar- nival takes place in the end of September, and draws both young and old from all over the county. Senior girls competed for the Sweet- heart honor: cheerleaders, drill team members and the band performed in the various parades. This year Karen Faris was crowned Sweetheart ’87 and Tammy Clark was named runner-up. Patty Baker and Kylee Schafer tied for third. Kirsten Kolhof, Kathy Ehle, Cindy Toman, Marcya Lever- ing, Stacy Schreiber, Deanne Durkin, April Beasley and Heather Giles were oth- er contestants. Cheerleaders sponsored their now an- nual pep rally at the end of main street on Friday to raise spirit for the Auburn foot- ball game to be held that night. Platts- mouth’s largest crowd of the year watched the Bulldogs upset the Devils 14- 7. ‘‘The 28 seniors this year was fewer then the 52 we had in last years korona- tion, explained Mrs. Sharon Smith. Once again, these seniors served as dukes and duchesses for the koronation held on Thursday night. Main street was filled as the seniors lined the street awaiting the king and queen. Senior Chad Hart com- mented, Koronation seemed too long, but I still enjoyed dressing up.” Seniors listen to last minute instructions as they prepare to walk down main street.

Senior wins tricycle race for a fourth year Faculty Claims Day The faculty has finally managed to clinch a surprising victory over their pupils at the Devilmania games. Although the faculty won, it was a close race throughout the day. Faculty won with 50-Vi points, but the seniors were close with 43- 2 points. Sophomores were third with 38 points, juniors were fourth with 26-' 2 points, and the fresh- men came in last with 21- 2 points. This year two games were added to the schedule. Basketball and trivial pursuit were played along with some of the nor- mal games like the lip-sync contest and the 3-legged race. This was the first year that the banana-split eating contest did not take place. Faculty placed first in the lip-sync con- test, trivial pursuit, tug-of-war, softball and volleyball. Seniors placed first in poster decorations, tricycle race, basket- ball shooting, pyramid building, and jump rope. Sophomores were first in the walk, 3-legged race, and the egg toss. Fresh- men and juniors did not place first in any events. Senior Tony Abercrombie became a four-time champion in the tricycle race. Tony credits his winning to the tricycle. “It is all in the tricycle, the large front tire gave me traction.” He went on to say that his backward handlebar techique played an important role in his four victories. At the end of the games, the students and faculty were treated to hot dogs and pop. “I feel very disappointed that we did not win,” said Senior Michelle Hughes.
