Coming back for another year is a tradition that is put on by Student Council at Abraham Lincoln High School. Mr. and Miss AL is a talent show in which seniors compete against each other for a prize and for the title of Mr. AL and Miss AL. This year it is set for March 25 at 6:30 p..m. And this year will be followed, for the first time, by a dance put on by the National Honor Society (NHS). Each year there is a lot of fun activities happening here at AL, but behind all the fun there is a group of students working hard. President Dan Hopper said that all the student council members have out in a lot of hours to make the show great.
“Andrew Moats (Vice President) and I have done a lot of planning and regulating, while the rest of the council has worked hard to get contestants and donations to hopefully put on a great show,” said Dan Hopper ‘11.
The NHS will be throwing a dance the same night shortly after Mr. and Miss AL is crowned. It may difficult to plan one activity but students took the challenge and decided to plan two. One can’t help but wonder why NHS would plan the dance on the same night.
“NHS originally planned their dance the same night as Mr and Miss AL, so that they could get the crowd there I assume,” said Hopper. “Being a member of NHS I figured it would be smart to put them together and make it an easier night of planning. I think the NHS can also give us more help, and more publicity which is vital to having a great event.”
Though some may be in it for the competition, others are in it for the fun of being in front of friends and family. It takes confidence to get up and perform in front of a crowd. It takes even more nerve to dance, act, and show the crowd your best talent. No matter how comfortable you are there may still be some unsettled nerves that have to be calmed.
“I might be nervous, but because of dance team I’m used to being in front of a crowd,” said Kelsey Tekippe ‘11. “I have to take deep breaths and make sure I’m well rehearsed before getting on stage.”
6 boys and 6 girls are signed up to set stage on March 25 at 6 pm in the Abraham Lincoln High School Auditorium for the competition. Following after the crowning, the first annual NHS Spring Fling will go on till 10:30 pm and one ticket gets you into both Mr. and Miss AL and the dance. Don’t miss out on the chance to watch 12 of your classmates compete against one another and end the night dancing it away.
