But the time involved in the actual pageant was not even equal to the long hours spent in careful preparation for the long awaited moment. Each girl had to carefully select a sportswear ensemble which would effectively convey their good taste. Then an evening gown had to be chosen that would enhance her beauty to its greatest potential. Next, the girls had to compose and rehearse a program which would prove they were not just another pretty face in the crowd. They spent many long, tiresome hours practicing individually and with the group as a whole perfecting their very important portion of the entertainment segment of the pageant. But probably the most important element of the pageant was the interview with the judges. These interviews with the individual girls gave the judges a chance to per- sonally meet and get to know each girl. Christie Daniels sings In a Little While (Top Left).

An Evening of Poise and Grace On the evenings of January 12 and January 13, Pin- son was graced by the presence of some of the loveliest ladies in all the Valley. Anyone passing by the high school and noticing the overwhelming lack of parking spaces would immediately be assured that something special was taking place. Upon entering the gym one could sense the air of anticipation and elec- tricity generated by the enthusiastic audience. Sud- denly the lights dimmed and for the next four and half hours, the people attending were thrilled and aston- ished by the exceptional performances of these talented ladies. 34 MISS PINSON VALLEY
