High School Days

This picture of me was taken my Senior year in high school. 1989! I was so busy that year, I don't even know how I made it through. I was our Senior Class President, the Lion Mascot, President of the Y-Teens, a member of Student Council, National Honor Society, and a host of other clubs and organizations.

For this photo, I was coordinator, performer, and hostess this night for a benefit variety show called Colors. Classmate Dena Smith and I did a dance routine to MC Hammer's Turn This Motha Out. I still remember some of the moves. It took place April 89'. The proceeds from it went to the Sickle Cell Anemia Association of Waco, Tx. I was looking pretty hot that night, don't cha think? That was the longest my hair had ever gotten in my life. I believe it was just pressed and curled while my usual style was a Jerri Curl or Wave Nouveau.
