Homecoming Queen Is A Crowning Achievement For One Of Six Selected

Sarah O’Grady for Associated Student Body Homecoming, it’s hard to believe it’s that time of the year again. It is always an exciting time and one that everyone looks forward to. Each class is working hard to prepare their floats for the parade and getting ready for the class competitions. The football players are practicing for the big game against Christian, and the Cheerleaders and the CHS band are also preparing for the evening festivities. However, the big question being asked all over school these days is who will be crowned as the 1992 Homecoming Queen. There are many qualified girls in the class of 1993, although only six can be elected to the court. Each princess has been nominated to the court for her accomplishments, personality, and school spirit. The six were interviewed and each was asked the following questions: What are your plans after graduation? What will you miss most about high school? The following are their responses. Neina Chambers: “I’d like to go to school back east and maybe pursue a career in journalism. My junior year of college I’d like to spend abroad maybe in Spain. I’m not really certain about what I want to do, for now I’m just staying open for ideas. I would, however, like to do something that consists of writing or speaking Spanish, something having to do with communications. I’ll probably miss the security the most, of being with friends you’ve practically known all your life. The little activities we have like Pep Rallies, spirit week, and dances (even if they always don’t turn out that successful). I guess the overall familiarity of things is what I’ll miss, but I’m excited to move (Mi.”

Paige Creager; “After high school, I’m planning to attend a four year College/University. I’d like to major in international business, and hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to study abroad in France for at least a semester.” Paige will miss cheerleading the most at CHS. “Coronado is so small that, the same girls generally cheered together, year round, for four years. Cheering gave me a chance to support my school and make many of my close friends.

Kalee Knutson; “After high school I hope to attend Colorado State University in Fort Collins. I am thinking of majoring in performing arts with a minor in elementary education. I am going to miss everything about C.H.S. except the homework! C.H.S. is my eleventh school but I have liked it the most. Coronado has given me the chance to meet so many people, and above all, I’ll miss the friends I have made here.”

LyAnne Litrenta: “I’d like to attend Point Loma Nazarene College. I’d like to be involved with Public Affairs, Business, and Travel. Mainly to work with people and to go places. Believe it or not I am going to miss c chool, teachers, and classes. Most of all I’m going to miss my freshman, sophomore, and junior friends, (Good Luck Guys). I’m definitely going to miss half days, dress-up days, dances, games, and Freshman kidnappings. These past four years have flown by but have had a positive effect on me and my future. I guess it’s time for a big change. Thanks to the past twelve years of people, life, teachers, and family and friends I’m ready!

Sarah O’Grady: “After high school I plan to attend a four year college. My goal is to be an elementary school teacher and at some point work overseas with other children. My high school experience with friends, clubs, cheerleading, swimming, A. 5.8., and other activities has given me both pleasure and confidence in myself. I will miss all of this, but look forward to what is ahead.”

Jennifer Richardson: “After I graduate I would like to attend the University of Washington, Seattle and study American Literature and art history. As for the future. I’m just not sure yet. When I look back on high school, I am going to remember being a junior. Throughout the year I did more experiencing, growing, and changing as a person than all the years of my life. My junior year was a very exciting time and when I look back on C.H.S. I will have a flood of memories from my junior year.”

At half time the six seniors will be presented on the field where they will anxiously await the announcement of who will be the 1992 Homecoming Queen. Whether selected or not, it is a definite honor even to be nominated to the court. The crowd will not only be waiting to find out who the queen will be, but what the final score of the game is. The football team has worked hard this year and this is reflected in their winning record. This game will be an exciting one for all to see. The final Homecoming event is the dance on November 14 at the Hotel del Coronado, Dover Room. Students will be dressed in their formals looking their best and looking forward to an evening of fun. After all is said and done the excitement will die down and everything will return to normal. Students can catch their breath, and this year’s seniors will have new and lasting memories to hold on to.
