Bev’s extracurricular activities consist of participation in the Pep Club and Future Scientists of America. Nancy Portrays Typical Teenage Girl A living example of “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” Nancy Adams as Contestant No. 3 portrayed the typical teenage girl as she pantomimed the recording by Doris Day for the talent portion of the pageant. Nancy, dressed in a two-piece wool dress of tweed weave, featuring a sheath skirt and blouson waist, and later in a chiffon evening dress of peacock blue, with a sequinned bodice, received a warm reception from her audience as she walked the ramp.

In addition she may be seen in the familiar varsity cheerleader outfit at all Bev, in her expert mechanical motion, made herself an au¬ dience favorite with her dance, entitled, “The Mechanical Doll.” 147
