Miss Munroe, - Carnations -----------------■ and Luv-a-grams Make Valentine’s Day A Real Heartstopper Valentine’s Day by itself was enough excitement, but Miss Munroe added to it was too much! Spirit week kicked off a week filled with activities, from sweatshirt day to detective day. In the pep rally on Friday, the Varsity girls and Varsity boys had a “shoot out.” After an ex- citing competition, the boys won, and Laura Alexander smeared a pie in Coach Morris’ face. Each contestant represented a specific organization. The reigning 1987 Miss Munroe, Grace Ramos, crowned Kena Maxwell, who was escorted by Daniel Mitchell, the 1988 queen. Grades 7-12 topped off the eve- ning dancing to the latest hits blasted out by the Music Ma- chine. The evening ended early, but the spark of excitement still lingered. After all, Valentine’s Day was only two days away. 22 Student Life

Possibly if Mom changed it’s appearance, or called it some- thing interesting, or forbid kids to eat it ... Everyone would have a “good balanced diet.” Seniors and Freshmen mingle outside the restaurants on Tennessee Street after watching the F.S.U. production of Guys and Dolls. Mrs. Holly's fall carnival booth for the libe- rary hits the spot with Mary Bryant Hin- son, satisfying her need for junk. Milk Duds, Reeses, Milky Way, Doritos,... and Squash! Food was separated into “good food” and “junk food.” “Good food” was al- ways nutritious and never looked or tasted good. “Junk food” was good ole McDonald’s or a piece of chocolate. “Junk food” was al- ways preferred. It was a statistical fact that kids never liked to eat E- i things! Sweets and fast were simple, fast, bready, allowed mounds of katsup and could be repeated in an hour. Eating was always a favorite pasttime for students, no mat- ter what the price. Munching on a left over snack in class could cost students an hour on a Wednesday after school with a favorite teacher. Pride never got in the way if the problem was hunger pangs. “Can I bor- row two dollars?” was the cho-
