After a well choreographed swing” to Thank God I ' m a Coun¬ try Boy” by the contestants, master of ceremonies, Mr. Jeff Cannon, car¬ ried on the commentary as each of the girls modeled casual wear. While the contestants waited nervously, Mr. Cannon announced the seven finalists. These finalists had been chosen the evening before in the preliminaries on the basis of modeling of sports and formal wear and the talent competi¬ tion. The finalists quickly returned to dressing rooms during intermission to change for their talent presentation. Intermission enabled the Hampton Jazz Band, under the direction of Kecoughtan ' s own Mr. Fred Pen- dergraft, to perform a number of well-known songs. The contest continued as the girls presented their talent and then re¬ turned for the evening dress competi¬ tion. After modeling their gowns, each finalist responded to a question which asked how they would react in a hypothetical situation. The audience and participants held their breath as the winners were announced. A beaming Tammy Ussez was awarded Miss Congeniality and Miss Talent went to Anita Dixon.
