LICHT5 — CHMERR — RCTION The shooting schedule was tight this year on the U.C. lot, as we tried to work in all the several varied activities. Homecoming, Mardi Gras, Octoberfest, N.H.S. induction, Senior Play, Prom, Awards Day, Spirit Week, dress up days — these scenes highlighted the most promising stars of the ’85-’86 season. Costuming was sometimes difficult, but casting was easy as each actor played his part — from the stars down to the bit players. Production rolled along with the usual hitches, but the sneak previews and daily rushes looked promising. The following stills show what participation, enthusiasm and dedication can achieve, as once again we produced a smash hit from the U.C.C.H.S. cast. 6

Chosen for Leading Roles The 1985 Mardi Gras Pageant (formerly known as The Junior Miss Pageant) actually began last May with the choosing of candidates. Two girls from each Randolph County school were chosen by their respective schools to vie for the starring role of Mardi Gras queen. A meeting was held to discuss details and procedures, and was followed by several practices during the summer months. The pageant was held at Winchester Community High School on October 1, 1985. During this time the girls performed a routine, did some modeling, displayed their talents for the judges and had a personal interview. Our hopeful stars, Melissa Mote and Janel Fritz, wowed the audience with their superior performances. Janel wrote, played and sang a song of her own composition called, “Jesus, I Lift My Voice to You.” Missy did a ballet dance to the tune of “Skylark”. The parade on the day of October 5th was a contest of endurance as winter tried to come early. The girls survived, however, and looked radiant for the crowning ceremonies that evening at 10:00. Melissa Mote was crowned Queen and Janel Fritz was named first runner-up, therefore bringing two titles back to the proud cast on the U.C. lot. 1. Missy looks confident. 2. Janel strikes a pose. 3. Missy rides through town in the parade. 4. Janel smiles to the crowd. 5. Janel displays her gown. 6. Missy shows her talent in ballet. 7. Janel congratulates the new Mardi Gras Queen.
