Friendship was the key in the Miss Carson-Newman pageant this year. Twenty-seven different girls with varied goals and unique talents were brought together in a state of suspended animation - hectic rehearsals and an unbelievable afternoon of interviews, bathing suit competition zooming straight into preliminaries. But through it all a spirit of love prevailed and each girl shared her own special gifts with the others. Final night arrived and by 6:30 bedlam reigned in the dressing rooms . Things got started smoothly, if not seriously, by the incomparable Mr. Grady Nutt. Before anyone could get TOO nervous the top 10 finalists were announced and the show had begun. At long last Miss Kim Munton was crowned amid screams and applause from the crowd - and the girls. Lynn Rhodes was announced lst runner up with Mary Lu Gray 2nd runner up and Debbie McCard 3rd runner up. Robin Gantt, Lisa McDaniels and Kay Morgan tripled tied for most talented non-finalist, and another tie resulted in the double winners for bathing suit competition - Mary Lu Gray and Frances Prince Jody Grant was named Miss Congeniality. Only today is ours' was the theme but the night belonged to Kim, Miss Carson- Newman 1977. Left: Lynn Rhodes sings an aria from a famous opera for the talent competition.
