Freshman Lynn Dowdy Crowned Miss Central at Dance September 6, 1969, a Back-to-School Dance was held in honor of Miss Lynn Dowdy, who was crowned Miss Central by the retiring queen, Lana James. Seventeen girls elected from homerooms competed for the crown of Miss Central. After parading in front of the panel of judges the contestants came forward to answer questions submitted by each homeroom teacher. The final decision was made the afternoon when the five semi- finalists were announced to the student body and given the ulti- mate question. Lynn Dowdy received the majority of the popular vote.
