The Curtain Rises Practice, practice, practice . . . where to walk, when to smile, when to turn. These thoughts rushed through frenzied minds as time for the Miss Retrospect Pageant neared. The largest field yet, sixty-five con- testants, had worried themselves into nervous wrecks by 7:30 p.m., Oct. 13, 1976, when the curtains came up. The promenade of girls in casual wear and evening wear helped take the edge off nerves, and poise took over. Besides poise, the contestants were iudged on beauty of face and figure and having the look of the All-American High School Girl. After the months of preparations and hours of practice, iudging got underway. Nineteen semi-finalists and then the five finalists were announced. From this five, Nancy Walker was named queen, and her court was announced. Nancy took her walk down the runway as 1977 Miss Retrospect with tears and smiles. Then the lights dimmed, the audience filed out, and the audito- rium was left dark and empty. How- ever, vivid memories of that special night lingered on.
