Princesses in Fairyland The tension was high as each princess en- tered the walkway dressed in her very best on October 12, 1984. TODAY'S PRINCESS, TO- MORROWS QUEEN' was the theme for the 1985 Little Miss and Junior Miss Bland Coun- ty, sponsored by the FBLA and Senior Beta Clubs. Each princess, dressed in lace and frills, looked as if she had walked out of the pages of a fairytale into decorations of pink balloons and streamers which transformed the gymna- sium into a fairyland. Much time was spent preparing for the big night to find just the right dress and the perfect hairstyle. Students and advisors were also in constant preparation with lists to make, instructions for the judges, identifica- tion numbers for each little princess and find- ing entertainment to keep the audience atten- tive while they waited for the big decision. Entertainment was provided by members of the sponsoring clubs using a variety of songs and monologues. TOP: 1st runner-up — Wendi Pettrey, JUNIOR MISS BLAND COUNTY - Rebecca Winsett, 2nd runner-up — Heather Smith. CENTER: 1st runner- up - Maya Thrasher, LITTLE MISS BLAND COUN- TY — Samantha Thompson, 2nd runner-up — Faye Wolfe.
