Ace quarterback picks the winner Robin Cook Miss Hillcrest Hurricane One of the big spring events was the photo contest sponsored by the Hurricane. Joe Namath picked both the nine finalists and the winner. He was chosen to judge the contest because he hap- pened to be in Dallas at the time starring in the Rainmaker at GrannyIs Dinner Playhouse. His name is known by most people as quarterback for the Jets, for his making of panty-hose com- mercials, or for his part in the movie l'C.C. Rider. The first step in the contest selection was to get in contact with Namath, which was not easy, according to staff member LeAnn Morris. First she tried to reach him by calling Granny's and leav- ing messages. She ended up calling four times. At this point she was getting a little upset at him and his manager for not calling and giving a reply. Then a rumor reached my ears about where he was staying. This time I made direct contact and talked to Mr. Namath and set up a time to meet and have the pictures judg- ed. By this time, she was not at all impressed at going to see him. When I did meet him however, he was very nice, LeAnn noted, Meeting Joe Namath was like meeting any other person. I certainly wouldn't kick, scratch, pull, or shove just to be able to see him, concluded LeAnn. He got the job done, however. 'WWI I AThe finalists ofthe Ms. Hillcrest Hurricane contest are Elaine Whithers, Marcie Biasini, Kendall Jolly, Robin Cook, Stacy Mann, Angela Wilson, Barbra Rice, Monica Jones, and Joanie Nordhoff. Robin Cook was chosen as the winner because of her photogenic qualities. 4Ex-Jet quarterback Joe Namath sifts through the many photographs of the finalists in order to determine the most photogenic girl at Hillcrest. He commented, One picture doesn't do these girls justice. Ms. Hillcrest Hunicane X 21
