Jerry Sets 2-A Record Girls Take State Second Straight The pressure was on for the Stanton County High School Girls Cross Country team, as they went after their second straight 2-A Championship at Wamego November I. But pressure only seemed to bring out spectacular performances by the SCHS runners who out- distanced the second place team, Jackson Heights, by 52 points (42 to 94). Carolyn Gum ran the Wamego course in 12:06, just 3 seconds behind the first-place finisher from McLouth. Although the boys team did not improve on their third place finish of last year, Jerry Gum ran the State course at Wamego in a record-blazing time of 9:47.8 to capture the State 2-A title. This time was better than any other time re- corded that day in Wamego, all classes. During the season the teams competed in tough meets across Kansas: Wamego (Meet of Champions), Dodge City, Ulysses and many others. Sea- son competition started the year at Wamego and ended at Wamego. At the League meet held at Stanton County, the Trojan girls placed first. The boys came in second behind Tribune.

Fall Festival: Fantasy Of Fun A flury of fall sports festivities whirled through SCHS October 6- 10 as students participated in various Spirit Week activities, culminating with the crowning of Jan Pearce at a ceremony before the football game on Friday. The traditional Football Home- coming was replaced by a Fall Festival designed to include peo- ple from every sport. Recom- mended by Student Council and approved by the student body, the Festival proposal also changed the way in which candi- dates and escorts are chosen. The contest for queen now in- volves only three Senior candi- dates. Senior boys and under- classmen serve as escorts and at- tendants. The queen candidates selected for this year were Patricia Hud- gens, Jan Pearce and Terri Ashida who were escorted by Todd Wilhelm, Chris Lehman, and Dallas Warnock. Attendants included Jerry Gum and Carolyn Gum, Gary Whaley and Lori Hoo- pingarner, and Bryan Zollinger and Robyn Willinger. Crown- bearer and flower girl were Bran- don Smith and Heidi Nelson. Students were alive with spirit on Monday as they dressed for Pony Express Day, which seemed to be the most popular of the days. Tuesday was Clash Days Wednesday was Election Day in which students dressed in shirts advertising their favorite candi- date or in red. white, and blue. Thursday came off as Twin Day and ended with the traditional burning of the dummy at the bon- fire. Friday became A Touch of Class Day. A pep rally Friday fea- tured an eating contest by the candidates and Mr. Zollinger be- ing plastered with a pie in the face. The Seniors won the spirit award which was sponsored by the faculty.
