COUNTY FAIR The 25th annual St. Mary's County fair opened September 23, l97l. lt proved to be an exciting time for many Great Mil- lions. The highlight of the opening day came in the evening with the selection of the Queen. She was appropriately crowned Queen of Tolerance since it was here in St. Mary's, The Mother County of Mary- land, that the state was founded on the principle of religious tolerance. ln prior years, queens were selected from girls chosen by local fire depart- ments. This year, however, the Fair Board decided to choose the Queen from each of the county high schools, Chopticon, St. Mary's Academy, and Great Mills. Each girl was iudged on poise, personality, pos- ture, beauty, and speech. Ann Levay, Nancie Rowe, and Kim Cook were Queen of Tolerance, first runner-up, and second runner-up, respectively. All three girls were Great Millians! All county schools closed on Friday, September 24, so that students could at- tend the fair. Among the many exhibits were can- ning, arts and crafts, animals, flowers, 4-H proiects, and education. Friday morning, GM's track team, coached by Gerald Minnaugh, took first Nez' . f N sw' def? . 4? , ww J WP' life'
