Miss Debo ah Jackson B - '41 'iii Qi f NN 5 9 Q 44 ,A if f' -., VERONICA HARRIS Maid of Honor On October 29, 1983, Miss Deborah Jackson of Fordyce was crowned Homecoming Queen. I expected my name to be called at some point and so did everybody else that was standing there. Jackson attributed her success to the thoughtfulness of her many friends on campus. I believe I won because of my friends. Being queen to me means the student body voted for me and that my friends have a lot of trust and belief in me and that I'm qualified for the job. If it hadn't been for them this wouldn't have been possible. They believe in me and I believe in them. Jackson is a general business major and also a former Reddie cheer- leader. She is active in the Confedera- tion of Black Students and is president of the Phi Beta Sigma Sweets greek society. I really enjoy being active. I love to talk: anything I can do for others I enjoy it. The Homecoming game was just like any other game to me. I almost tore up my flowers cheering so hard. I love the Reddies and I feel we should back them at all times whether they're winning or losing. They are playing for us and we should give them our support. Junior Veronica Harris of Little Rock was named Maid of Honor. Other members of the court included Heather Carr of Alma, Jamie Woody of Tex- arkana and Jayne Ann Bratton of Gurdon. 5 x 'Fa 'X

After becoming such a star at Henderson, Vivian feels. she has attained the utmost - added confidence in herself. lt makes me feel like I can do the impossible. lt helped build my confidence level. When l came here, I didn't have very much confidence: it developed over the years. And with the added confidence she does not believe there is anything unattainable for her - even Broadway. Although a senior music education major from Little Rock, she will not give up her dream of performing. And perform. she did. by singing. They're Playing My Song. Vivian also received the award for overall talent at the pageant. And in July 1983, she again won the award for best talent at the Miss Arkansas Pageant in which she received a scholarship.
