Say Yes to the Dress

Solids or prints; short or long; fitted or poofy; strapless or v-neck, expensive or inexpensive: So many choices and yet some girls have already found what they’re looking for in a prom dress. Whether it’s online or in the store window, dresses have already been purchased for prom, which is scheduled for May 8th, 2010.

            The local shop downtown provides a selection that have satisfied some. Sophomore Savannah Schiller said, “I got a short fuschia dress with a halter that crosses in the back from Lasting Memories for $110.”

“I got mine downtown for $140,” senior Devyn Hardy added.

“It took me two days to find my dress,” said junior Shannon Ireland. “I purchased a pink and poofy one at Lasting Memories for $315.”

Girls also took the time to go out of town to find their dress. “I spent two hours looking for mine and purchased it for $538 in Spearfish,” senior Morgan Pearson said.

            Junior Angela Christensen added, “I went with a fitted dark blue dress at Kathleen’s in South Dakota for $305.”

            Others have taken the time to search online for their dresses or simply borrowed a dress. “My dress is purple with a little bit of poof at the bottom,” junior Amber Gangestad said. “I looked for awhile before deciding to order it on the internet.”

Junior Liz Anderson added, “I got an orange strapless dress online.”

“I borrowed a green dress from a family friend,” junior Bailey Wenz said.

Many girls are prepared for this special event, ready to go with their dress. The date is approaching and prom will be here before we know it.

Close to Gold

Indoor track ended with a bang in late February after the 2010 state finals in Laramie. Athletes lined up to run, jump, throw, vault and hurdle their way to the top. The Camel boys took second this year. “The boys competition was supposed to be close, but Sheridan didn’t have much go wrong and came out on top,” said head coach Mark Kelting. A standout athlete was senior Steven Turpin who stole two silver medals.

The lady Camels also took second place, surprising many. “I thought our girls did really well,” continued Kelting. “They far exceeded what we thought they’d get for points.” The girls fell short to Cheyenne Central High School. A standout female athlete was junior Paula Andrie, who took home the gold in four events.

            “My favorite part about state track was seeing all the competition at one meet,” senior Kim Eichenberger stated. “Our 400-meter relay was amazing. We were thrilled to beat our school record by seven seconds and take third place.” The boys’ 800-meter relay also felt victory, taking home the gold.

            “My favorite part of state was my personal record and bonding with friends,” junior Chandler McGovern said. “I think it’s a tremendous accomplishment for the girls to get second.”

            “I got seventh in triple jump; it was a personal record,” sophomore Maddy Morgan said. “The best part of state was hanging in the stands and watching fellow teammates. I’m looking to get in shape for outdoor and get better for next year.”

            So where does that leave the future for indoor track? “I think the new Rec Center will attract more athletes and improve our overall times,” Kelting explained. The indoor season ended with celebration, which will hopefully lead to a successful outdoor season as well.
