Class Three months before the Miss Spring Valley pageant, committees had been set up and planning had begun, accord- ing to senior Will Crowley and junior Jenny Denton, co-chairman. Touch of Class was the theme decid- ed upon by Student Council and the main song was Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl. “We tried to make everything really classy looking,” Denton said. Forgetting to bring the crown and last minute re-numbering of sashes were the two big problems faced, ac- cording to Denton. “We had to change the order of the contestants, and we forgot to get the numbers on them to match the orders, so the girls didn’t wear them. We had some last minute panic,” Denton said. The most memorable thing from the pageant was sitting and working with Vicki Harrell, Miss South Carolina, ac- cording to Crowley. “I had to teach the girls how to be escorted, and I demonstrated with Vicki,” Crowley said. Senior Jim Chesnutt, stage manager, took care of the technical aspects of the pageant. “I had to get everything together — sound, lights, equipment. During the performance, I had to make sure that everyone was where they were sup- posed to be,” Chesnutt said. Crowley said he agrees that keeping up the pageant was a good learning ex- perience. “It was different this year. We didn’t have any disasters. There was more stu- dent participation. It was more like the whole school put it on,” Crowley said. Cassie Yang Completing his winning talent, senior, Mr. Spring Valley. Matt Younginer did re-creations of com- mercials. 18 Mr. Miss S.V.
