MISS BA 1971 . . . Classes and clubs selected their most beautiful young ladies to rep- resent them in the 1971 Miss Bruns- wick Academy contest. Many problems forced postpone- ment of the event from its usual time in early winter. Nevertheless, when the time finally arrived that the contest was held, in the spring, tension was still high. Students, patrons, and friends watched and made their own choices while the judges deliberated in the process of making a decision. As the number of contestants dwindled to five and then to three, everyone held their breath to await the announcement of the winner. When the judges’ decision was announced, Miss Martha Keedwell had become the winner of the “Miss Brunswick Academy 1971’’ title. Wanda Queen was the first run- ner-up and Vicki Lewis was second runner-up. 28
