Originality, beauty highlight annual PGHS-ZCMI table setting contest On Feb. 5, it was an exciting day at Pleasant Grove High School, as students bearing boxes, bags and tables started arriving at Mrs. Griffin's home economics room as early as 7 a.m. Said one student, "At 7 in the morning I can barely get dressed, much less set a table." But set tables they did - and how ! ! There were over 60 entries in the ZCMI table setting contest, making this contest a real record breaker. Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Smith were both excited at the unusually large turnout. "We've never seen this kind of participation in this activity before," said the family life and child development teacher, Mrs. Smith, whose classroom was used as an overflow after every available space in Mrs. Griffin's room had been snatched up by eager students. Mrs. Griffin also remarked that both she and the judges were impressed im-pressed by the quality of the entries this year. The judges were so im pressed, in fact, that although only two winning entries were to be selected, five first place winners were chosen. They include: Brent Mills, senior, with a celebrity theme; Tricia Stuart, senior, with an art decor diet theme; Heather Davis, senior, with an appropriate Valentine theme; Cheryl Jeremy, senior, with a hobo theme; and Jenny Beagly, junior, with a teddy bear theme. Honorable mentions were given to Paula Pinegar, Kim Johnson, Nancy Forrester, Diane Jacobson and Kurt Montgomery. Certificates of excellence were given in the areas of color coordinating, coor-dinating, design and creativity. Each of the first place winners received several and will go on to compete in the regional contest to be held April 5 at the University Mall. .. .- ' The competition will be stiff, but the winners, who are no strangers to the rigors of rivalry,, are confident. con-fident. As one young entrant put it, "The competition here today was pretty fierce, the judging was tense, and it was pretty close, good preparation for the regionals." Those of you who weren't able to view the displays missed a real treat. (But don't worry! You still have a chance to vote for your favorite Viking at the mall this coming April 5.) The usually hum-drum home economics room rivaled the best restaurants with the silks, satins, crystal, porcelain, gold, silver and linens that transformed the classrooms into a sight to behold. Many students and faculty turned out during both lunch periods just to view the finery (making it the most popular spectator sport of the day) . Lots of time, effort and money went into these displays. But value of the place settings was not necessari'y a factor in winning, as evidenced by Tricia Stuart, who walked in with Corelle ware and walked out with first place, and Heather .Davis who , used a paper napkin and a plastic goblet for her. elegant theme! |
