Three lines in “News Notes” at the bottom left corner of the Sept. 28, 1987, edition of the Golden Times. The judges may have found Kristy to be the all-around prettiest, smartest and most talented girl in Arkansas, but this is all the respect she got from the school press. Sorry, Kristy.
“Homecoming: Oct. 16-17” was at the top of the front page, with the announcement of JHS’ drama lineup also on the front. “Two by Two,” “The Nerd,” and “It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Superman!” were the upcoming plays for the school year.
Shawn Herget and Felicia Willett cooked up a piece about “School spirit still shaking at JHS” for our center photo spread. There’s a picture (above) of Shawn handing the spirit stick to – who else?– the SENIORS, and a certain future city planning commissioner making the Day with his dramatic arrival as the “Black Flash.”
The football team was out to a 2-1 start and the volleyball team was 9-3, and I filled 2 pages without photos writing about those teams.
On the back page, Stephen Hester mocked sophomores and David Bennett discussed Dead Elvis Week, the Rameses Exhibit and something about a panda.
Graduation still seemed an eon away.

I'm thinking the Kristy Chitmon as Arkansas Junior Miss story should have been a big story. What's up with that? By the way, Marvin, I'm love'in those tights. :-) — Marcie
Yeah, I don't know what those editors were thinking ...
You know guys, I was just happy to be attending the great JHS! I had just switched schools the year before from Valley Who and couldn't have been happier to be a Hurricane! I remember Kristy Dobson making the trip to Pine Bluff with my family.. God Bless her for that! It was a fun time for me and I was just proud to represent our school!!!
Thanks, Kevin for posting, and Marcie for your comments!
Love to all,
Kristy Chitmon Reed
(once a Junior Miss, always a Junior Miss... still judging the Program in different states! ha ha)
