Mardi Gras My junior year Mr. Lacy asked the girls in his U.S. History classes if anyone like to be in the Mardi Gras pageant. If interested, we were to write a short paragraph stating the reasons for our interest. A ballot was drawn so the sophomore and junior classes could vote for the two girls they thought would best represent UCCHS. Carrie Mote and 1 were the lucky girls for this experience. The meetings for the pageant began in late July. Two girls from each county school met every week to work on modeling, make-up, and aerobic routines. For the pageant, we had to have an outfit of our choice to model, demonstrate two aerobic routines as a group, perform our own talent, and model a formal. Awards were given and Carrie Mote received a first-place trophy for her talent skit. The crowning was held Saturday night after the Mardi Gras festivities, which included a nippy parade ride in unseasonably cold weather! I received second-runner up and Carrie received first runner-up. The Mardi Gras pageant takes a lot of work and dedication to make it a success. I really enjoyed the girls from the other county schools and the people behind the scenes. It was truly a memorable experience! Sherry Murphy I. Sherry models her formal. 2.

Honor Jackets too. This past summer at volleyball camp, Mr. Golds-berry came up and said, “Congratulations, J.J.!”. By the look on his face I could tell that, I too, had earned my jacket! On the first day of school all the students congregated in the gym and Mr. Golds-berry gave his first day announcements. Then he introduced the topic of academic honor jackets and explained about them. He then announced the names of three juniors who were to receive them that day. As he called my name, Mr. Rick-ert, of the Union Trust Co., put my jacket on me. A sense of pride and accomplishment filled me, and 1 knew that all my hard work had been worth it. — Jennifer Jones — Starting in 1984, this process of awarding students for academic excellence has produced 12 recipients. In order to receive an academic honor jacket, one must obtain four consecutive semesters of straight A’s. The jacket, itself, is made of a white, satiny material with the school colors, school logo, and a chevron for every semester of A’s. For each semester of A’s after receiving the jacket, one receives another chevron to place on his or her honor jacket. The academic honor jackets are paid for and presented by local banks, Farmers State Bank and Union Trust Co. Ever since my sister, Ann, received her academic jacket it had always been my goal and desire to have one.

Homecoming 1987 Royalty Sherry Murphey and Matt Curls. The Homecoming festivities began with the annual powder puff football games. For the championship, the seniors defeated the juniors in a close game. Following the game was a bon-fire and a powerful pep rally! After the great evening of spirit lifting, the entire senior class got together and celebrated by eating pizza at the Pizza Hut. Everyone was excited and anxious for the upcoming day! Friday rolled around and we started out the fun with a dress-up day. The parade came quickly. Being Student Body President, I had to make sure everything was done and ready to roll. The parade was exciting. Carrie Mote and I rode in a Merce-dez Benz convertible! The air was chilly and cold, and my hands were freezing. That evening we played the Lincoln Eagles. As a senior on the football team, my goal was to win the game. We did that! We beat them 23-21 in double overtime. That will be a night to remember. At the half of the football game, the King and Queen ceremonies took place. Each senior walked down the field for the 1st time. Each candidate waited in suspense. Then over the intercom, my name and Sherry Murphy’s name was announced. It was a dream come true for me. I hurried home after the game to get ready for the dance. The dance was really fun, because a lot of the students were present and having a great time! I’m sure this Homecoming will be remembered forever! (at least by me!) Matt Curts I. The hopeful candidates await the announcement. 2. The 1987 Indian team. 3. Anita McCarter, Misty Lea and Annette Coby. 4. Chad Suitts has some monkey business. 5.
