The winners were MaraCMarr, Jr. and Timmy Robinson, Sr. When asked how she felt when she won, Mara exclaimed, It was great! I was surprised, I was really happy, and it must have been luck that I won!! Timmy complimented Mara's excitement by saying, I'm glad I won, but I don't know how I was Chosen or how they even voted. I think that everyone looked up to me. Candidates for Mr. and Miss S.C.H.S. were juniors: Robbie Campbell, Kim Neville, Joe Eckert, Karen Smith, Brian Yount and Mara Marr. Seniors: Timmy Robinson, Kelly Dodds, Kirk Waiz, Kim Stinson, Mike Miller, and Linda McCulloch.

Timmy received a crown and a T-shirt that said Mr. S.C.H.S. ' Tami Smith, president of the junior class commented, I think Mr. and Miss S.C.H.S. is really a great honor for anyone who wins, because they represent the best of SC. The crowning first began in 1956. Even though S.C. keeps on 'Moving with the times' the crowning shows that traditions don't die they just linger waiting to be carried out. iii. 2' 17mm-

Senator Edward Kennedy was the choice of 13 of those polled. Jimmy Carter came in second with 6 votes, Ronald Reagan followed with 3, and Gerald Ford and John Connelly tied with 1 vote a piece.
