Help Make Spirit Week A Hit The entire week of Feb. 3-Feb. 7 was filled with ac- tivities because Miss School Spirit 1986 had arrived. The first day was jam day. Kids showed up in their long shorts and sunglasses ready to party on a beach in Cali- fornia. The next day was tie day. Students dug out their dad's most outrageous tie and wore it to school. Wednesday was pajama day. Mens' pajamas and fuzzy feet pajamas were some of the kinds that were worn. The next day was stuffed animal day. Every- one brought their favorite stuffed critter with them and hugged the day away. Fri- day was dress up day as usual for spirit week. The new activity for Miss School Spirit was a hall decorating contest. Every- day one could look out in the halls during any hour and see someone from some class working on their hall. The cheerleaders chose teachers to judge the halls. The juniors won first with their Plank the Pi- rates hall, the sophomores won second with Indians are in the Fast Lane hall and the freshmen won third with their Let's Party to a Victory” hall. Everyone worked very hard and it was a great suc- cess, said Cindy Black- wood, cheerleader. 19

18 Stacey Wilson was crowned 1906 Miss School Spint at the half time of the boys' game. Wilson Crowned Win One Lose One As the last few seconds before half-time ticked away, six nervous girls wait- ed impatiently in the weight room for their escorts to ar- rive and the song You Are My Lady to begin. One at a time the candidates and the escorts entered as the audience waited in great anticipation. The freshman candidate was Lisa Oliver. She was es- corted by Sterling Slaven. The sophomore candidates were Stephaine Silva and Vicky Pickens; they were escorted by Vance Oliver and Greg Kelling, respec- tively. The junior candi- dates were Karla Feezor and Sally Black. Their es- corts were Kelly Anthony and Tracy Harlow. The sen- ior candidate was Stacey Wilson, she was escorted by Casey Apsley. The flower girl was Julie Rooney and the crown bearer was Jar- rod Wellman. As the Homecoming court stood in a semicircle facing the tall backdrop decorated by the cheer- leaders and Mrs. Stevens, the crowd heard the an- nouncer, Tammy Troutt, say The 1986 Miss School Spirit is Miss Stacey Wil- son. Crowner, Rick Limon, then placed the crown on her head, gave her the flow- ers and bestowed the tradi- tional kiss. Stacey said, I was very nervous standing out there. Casey was telling me to quit shaking and 'be cool.’ In basketball play the girls scored a 50-47 win over Rolla. The boys suf- fered a 59-60 loss.

Heroes Mourned The seven mourned Ameri- can Heroes. Christa McAu- liffe, Gregory B. larvis. Ju- dith A. Resnik, Francis R. Scobee, Ronald E. McNair. Michael J. Smith and Ellison S. Onizuka. America's fifty-sixth manned mission in space turned out to be one of the worst tragedies in the histo- ry of space flights. The space shuttle, Chal- lenger, exploded barely a minute into it's 10th orbital mission. Six astronauts and teacher Christa McAuliffe, the first ordinary Ameri- can to venture into space, were killed. The possibility of sudden death is something that all explorers learn to live with. Watching the film of the shuttle, it shows how fast and how final things can be- come, said legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound bar- rier. So that's why you don't waste your time think- ing about it. Former Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos was ex- iled to Hawaii. Sylvester Stallone and Ivan Drago star in Rocky IV; the return of the American hero. Reign Ends Former Philippine Presi- dent Ferdinand Marcos ruled the Philippines for 20 years. Now his rule has come to an abrupt halt. Cor- azon Aquino, Marcos' chal- lenger, took the oath of of- fice after a long struggle. A stolen election was stopped by the United States, and Marcos was given exile in Hawaii. Summit Talks In late January 1986, Ron- ald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met face to face for a fireside summit. This meeting was historic by any measure, partly because it was the first summit in more than six years, even more so because the two most pow- erful countries in the world were running out of time to come up with an arms con- trol agreement. Return of Hero Rocky IV seems to have brought the American Hero back to reality. Sylvester Stallone was ready to take on the world with guns, knives, gloves or bare knuckles, whether it be as Rocky or Ram bo. Irv Ivers, marketing president of MGM UA, said, America has always wanted a hero it can identify with. He also said, It was John Wayne. It is Sly Stallone.
