This year the Franklin Junior Miss Pageant was the largest pageant ever held with 25 girls competing, Many hours of hard work were put into the pageant. After the final dress rehearsal, each girl met the night of awards with mixed emotions. The best part of the whole pageant, according to the girls, was the rehear¬ sals. Most of the girls agreed on one thing. The work they put into this year ' s show was worth the effort. Why? Chris¬ tine Yergation said, It was worth the trouble because I got closer to my peers and we shared experiences that I am sure I will never have again. There were embarrassing and funny moments, too. Things that the girls will always remember and laugh about. For instance, Cheryl Delfino remem¬ bers, I got a huge sliver in my foot and couldn ' t practice for three or four days.

I think the most embarrassing thing was when Janet Gardella showed me her costume material, which we all knew was supposed to be funny, and I laughed at it. She tried to make believe it was for her gown, said MaryAnn Dayian. Still other reasons were, doing talents and practicing poise and appearance. When the final night came and the results came in, the girls stood before an impatient crowd and waited as the winners were read. They were: Scholastic Achievement: Laura Guil¬ iano; Talent: Alessandrina Taddeo; Mary Jane Hanlon was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contest¬ ants; The Physical Fitness and Poised Appearance awards were won by; Kate Huntington.
