Variety Show added 3pice and almost got too hot to handle with over 700 in attendance. The 1987 Variety Show was one fcM new beginnings and perhaps a threatened ending. This year was the first time prizes were awarded to the winners, and as a result of crowd disruptions, the threat was made that it could be the show ' s last year. The students in charge decided to try it, to give the Variety Show a new flavor, said Variety Show director Tom Feit, of the frizes. The acts ranged from clog dancing to hard rock bands. Five individual categories were included in the competition. First place winners included Craig McCormick in specialty acts. The Controllettes in dance, and Anita Hall in vocal music. The group Obsession came in first in the band competition, and the winner in comedy was Andy I ynch. The new flavOT was not planned to include so much spice though. Throughout the evening crowd participation ranged from support to ugliness. Over 700 people, twice the usual number, showed up to watch the many talents and cheer on their favorite acts. Principal Kenneth Brist said, We were not prepared for the number of people who were there, and we were short on teacher supervision. He cautioned that unless some changes are made to prevent the same behaviOT from happening again, there will not be another Variety Show. Overall, most students obeyed the rules, although a few cussed and were rude, said Director of the Performing Arts Center, Craig Thompson. By Bernedette Miller

Be-bopping, sock-hopping Winter Homecoming helped chase the Winter blues away, even with a loss to Perry Meridian, Homecoming. That time of year when the student body gathers together, shows their spirit, and perhaps even celebrates the football victory. But, wait a minute. It ' s February! No, the school has not forgotten the month. We all knew that this year would be different. Winter Homecoming proved that. Proving that the week of Feb. 2-6 would not be as monotonous as most of the long second semester. Student Council members gave everyone a week to chain together with their fellow classmates. Throughout the week, paper chain links were sold and joined around the cafeteria in one contest to determine the class with the most class. The seniors ran rings around the cafeteria and won the contest Not giving up, the juniors wrapped up the shee decorating contest One of the popular events was the best legs contest. When Mr. Legs, Senior Joe Guyer, was asked hov-. ' he felt about wini- g, he jokingly saiQ If you got it, flaunt , ! Dress-up days gave everyone a further chance to show their spirit. Included in this was the make a teacher wear Charlie Corpuscle contest. The fortunate winner was Mr. Copper who wore the outfit during Thurs. and Fri. ' s lunch hours. On Fri., lunch hours were also entertained by 50 ' s music that was played in the cafeteria. Dressed in their 50 ' s attire, everyone kept up their spirits, awaiting the night ' s events. Unfortunately, the boys ' basketball team lost to Perry Meridian, but students still be- bopped to the 50 ' s beat at the sock hop. It was a great diversion from the usual post- game, said junior Kim Kerkhoff. Hopping, bopping, and showing their spirit were just a few results of this year ' s new idea. Winter Homecoming. Senior Todd Wellman summed it up. With everyone struck by winter blues, it gave everybody renewed school spirit and the spark to end the semester with a bang! by Tracey Beard Leggs Contest winner, senior Joe Guyer, says if you ' ve got it, flaunt it.
