Magic Memories Y ou never think it can happen to you until it does. Fate steps in and that dream is now reality. It is usually a magic moment you wish would never end. The magic happened to Jodi Long and Bob Manis. It was the night the two were picked out of the crowd. They were no longer students who filled the empty desk in the classroom or statistics on a piece of paper. They were “royalty” among a court and the common people. They were admired, respected and the ones chosen to fill the most honored seat in all the village; they are the 1987 Home coming King and Queen. Jodi Long and Bob Manis had a very memorable night. “It was a very unique night for me because Bob and I are cousins and Paulette, my best friend, got to crown me, ” said Jodi. When asked what her favorite part of the whole night was, she replied, “Riding on top of the car. It was a lot of fun. I also liked it because my Dad was really proud of me. He was crowned King his senior year at Tekonsha High School.” After the King and Queen are crowned, how do they feel? Who would know better than Bob? “I was really excited and nervous. They never told us what to do if you did get King. ” Bob Manis and Jodi Long are sure to always remember this night for many reasons. It is something to definitely be proud of. The night may have ended, but the magic memories will always linger on. They will always be our school's 1987 Homecoming's royalty.
