On Monday night at 8:00 P.M. almost 60 students filled Yockey for the game show \u201cThink Fast.\u201d \u00a0After each question, the contestants were given a certain number of seconds to answer a question. The quicker the contestant could answer the question and it was correct, the more points they received. If the contestant answered it correct right away, they could receive up to 1000 points.<\/p>\n

Different questions such as movie, video, and rapid fire made up the game show.\u00a0 The game show was broken up into three sections. At the end of the first round, the top four contestants went to play for a spot in the final round for a chance to win the big prize at the end.\u00a0 The winner of round one was Oswaldo Sanchez.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Round two was played the same way and the winner was Josh Porcher. On the final round, whichever of the contestants could answer 10 questions first won $200.\u00a0 Sophomore and winner of round one, Oswaldo Sanchez walked away with $200 Monday night.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night at 7:00 P.M., the Morningside cheerleaders hosted the annual Mr. and Mrs. Morningside.\u00a0 Six participants were in the running for this year\u2019s title.\u00a0 Running for Mr. Morningside were Katie Schiltz, Cassie Burnside, and Sam Brigham.\u00a0 Running for Mrs. Morningside was Jay Welp, Brendan Pinto, and Erik Chavaria.<\/p>\n

After experiencing the entertainment for the night, freshman Allison Schreiner said, \u201cI thought it was hilarious.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know what to expect. It was fun to see the guys dress up in dresses. I liked the guys\u2019 catwalk the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each participant had to participate in three categories: the catwalk, a talent, and an interview question. After all the contestants took part in categories and the judges had voted the winners were announced. The 2012 Mr. and Mrs. Morningside were Katie Schiltz and Erik Chavaria.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thursday night was coronation and the talent show that started at 8:00 P.M. in Eppley Auditorium.\u00a0 The 2012 Royal Court consisted of freshman Paul Johnson and Cydney Granger, sophomores Drew Paulsen and Nicole Sturdevant, juniors Anvil Sinsabaugh and Kayla Frey, seniors Mary Horton, Jake Parker, Kathleen Arnts, and Michael Oetken.\u00a0 The faculty king and queen were David Elder and Rachel Robson.\u00a0 The student body homecoming king and queen were Adam Sullivan and Cora Kugler.<\/p>\n

After coronation was over, the talent show began. 13 individuals or groups participated in the show.\u00a0 With five judges votes, the Morningside co-ed dance team came in third, the cloggers were 2nd<\/span>, and Michael Oetken (photo) took home the gold singing \u201cChariot\u201d by Gavin DeGraw.<\/p>\n

Freshman, Jessie Hamman said, \u201cI had never been to a talent show.\u00a0 This was a fun first opportunity.\u00a0 All the types of talent were what I was impressed with the most. I liked the co-ed dance the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

The week was wrapped up with a huge win of 63 to 7 by the football team when they played Dakota Wesleyan Saturday afternoon, followed by the traditional \u201cTaste of Morningside\u201d alumni celebration on the West-end of the Olsen Stadium.<\/p>\n
