Parade of beauty, cont. From a field of 28 devastatingly lovely contestants, Terri Wilson of Laurel has been chosen JC's most beautiful coed of 1979. The pageant held Thursday, Februe ary 1, in the Fine Arts Building, was sponsored by the Lair staff. The date of the pageant is a number that will be permanently imprinted on the minds of the girls who partici- pated. As usual in every pageant ever held, sheer panic reigned in every girl as she imagined tripping on the stage, fainting offstage, or falling from the stage. And, as usual, everything went perfectly. Teresa Wilson, editor of the Lair, opened the pageant with a wel- come, and Mr. Joe Myers and Miss Pam Kelly emceed and presented each contestant to the audience. Large pictures of each girl, taken by Mr. John Carter, were flashed onto screens as she walked down the ramp. The judges unanimously agreed that the selection of only five girls out of so many beautiful ones was one of the hardest decisions they had ever made. Judges were Mrs. Robin Moody, a former Miss Junior Miss of Mississippi in 1972, and two former Jaycee Outstanding Young Men of Hattiesburg - Mr. Nick Riske, a Hat- tiesburg businessman, and Mr. Mike Romeo, a counselor at USM. After much deliberation and debate, the judges came up with a decision that was approved and applauded by everyone. The girls the judges thought projected the most poise, personality, and beauty were: Terri Wilson, Most Beautiful, Pam Biglane, first alternate, Bernadine Howell, second alternate, Melanie Huff, third alternate, and Cindy Sanford and Ann Johnson, fourth alternates. Entertainment at the pageant was provided by Cathy Davis and Richard Pollett, who sang, a musical combo consisting of Lindy Peoples, Tim Biglane, Brian Grantham, Danny Windham, Lee Matthews, and Mile Kader, and Toups and Co., a dance group consisting of Lisa Eaton, Becky Buckalew, Amy Benson, Rhonda Dolan, Tanya Rogers, Cheryl Jen- nings, Dawn Hammonds, and Angela Toups. 128 Beauty Pageant Before the pageant Deirdre Broadfoot and Janice Byrd chatted with other contestants about the approaching terror.
