Local pageant assumes Miss America proportions Under the chairmanship of John Powell and Jane Swift, this year ' s Miss Lambuth Pageant followed a program very similar to that of the Miss America Pageant of which it is now a part. There was also an increase in the scholarship awarded to Miss Lambuth. Prior to actual competition, the girls met the judges at a tea in Wis- dom Parlor where each contestant was interviewed. The night of the pageant, the 18 contestants, repre- senting the different organizations and groups on campus, were judged in three main categories — swimsuit, formal and talent. This year talent ranged from key- board performances to monologues and acrobatics. Following the talent competition, Marsha McDonald, Miss Tennessee 1 972, performed a ballet. At the conclusion of the pageant a new Miss Lambuth, Carolyn Davis, reigned. Her court of four included Darlene Baker, Ibby Seaman, Teh Thomson, and Karen Carter. 18
