Miss Pine Forest, Joy Brigman, shares the spotlight with the third, first, and second runners-upg Tanna Simmens, Kim Chaster, and Christy Lee, respectively, HO,S THAT G RL??? 'fWhen you see her, say a prayer, and kiss your heart goodbye . . , i' Madon- 1na's summer hit seemed truly appropri- late on the nights of November 17th and 18th. It seemed to be a congregation of Goddesses R-Us. Approximately 115 girls appeared in front of a crowd of millions, bedecked in gowns straight off the pages of Vogue. O.K., so we lied. lt was not a crowd of millions and some of the dresses were a little less than Vogue. 'Still it was a night to top all others. Why was it so special? Because every contestant put their heart and soul into lmaking the Miss Pine Forest pagaent yan obvious succuss. Hours of prepara- tion by parents, contestants, faculty, and beauticians world-wide went into kreating the magical effect that was present during the two nights. Magical ,was the word for it. Some of the contes- tants went unrecognized by their friends and even parents as they grace- fully strolled their path before the judges. Questions such as Who's that girl? rang throughout the auditorium. She looks different at school than on the stage, and they all did. The girls marveled the audience with their doll- like appearances. The first night's intense atmosphere finally climaxed as the second night fi- nalists were announced. The 62 return- ees strolled proudly underneath the golden heart for a final look as the en- thusiastic fans cheered them on. When the second night arrived, the intensity level far surpassed that of the previous night. It was another full house and it was easy to pick out the parents of the contestants by their ap- prehensive faces. Girl after girl strutted their stuff until finally the top ten girls were announced. As the imaginary drum roll beat, ten girls were presented to the audience. The deafening roar in- spired the contestants rather than hin- dering them. All ten slowly but surely proved that they belonged in the line up. Tanna Simmons, Amy Holbein, Jasmin Handy, Shirley Burgess, Shan- non Jackson, Jada Raynor, Joy Brig- man, Christie Lee, Kimberly Chastek, And Kelly Williams looked dazzling as they sparkled under the lights. May I have the envelope please? Third runner-up, Christie Lee. Second runner-up, Tanna Simmons. First run- ner-up, Kimberly Chastek. And Miss Pine Forest 1987-88 is Joy Brig- man!!! Those words brought down the house. Screams from both contestants and the audience made it clear that it was indeed the right choice. The sweet girl who insisted to her homeroom that she should not waste her time entering the pagaent, bent down in tears as last year's Miss Pine Forest, Julie Savage, crowned her. So Who's that girl? That girl is Joy Brigman, Miss Pine Forest 1987-88, features
