“The greatest show” inc?untyb Fall is fair time for students who enjoy strolling down the Midway, trying out a new game in the arcade, showing off their 4-H projects, or competing in other contests like the Miss DeKalb County Fair pageant. After being chosen from several Miss Eastside candidates, junior Tracy McKown, and senior Heather Watson became eligible to compete for the title of Miss DeKalb County Fair the last week in September. Tracy and Heather participated in personal interviews, an evening gown competition, a swimsuit competition, and a talent compe- tition. A special judges award for talent was given to Tracy for her singing rendition of Send in the Clowns . Heather sang and played the piano to How Did It End This Way , a song she composed her- self. Both participants said that the contest was fun and a good exper- ience, but not quite what they ex- pected. Smile! This group of students seem to be enjoying themselves. They were part of a large crowd who watched Tuesday's Swing Choir Contest at the DeKalb County Fair. Tracy McKown receives the Special Judges Award for Talent from 1979 Miss DeKalb County Fair, Diane Stahl. Tracy received the award for singing Send in the Clowns. Its entire attitude is based on winning, and not friendship, Tra- cy said. Heather said that there was a lot of pressure and that the competi- tion placed a lot of excess stress on everybody. Nevertheless, they did an excel- lent job of representing Eastside and just having them in the com- petition meant a lot to their many supporters who watched them in the contest. 12 Fair
