Honey-blonde Madeline Mack awoke Staurday morn- ing, just a few hours after having been crowned Home- coming Queen, and just a dozen hours before her moment of glory at the Homecoming game. A lithesome 19-year-old, Madeline lives in Pacoima with her mother, Louella and father, Walter. Two older sisters have already married and are rearing families. A veteran of innumerable beauty contests, and the winner of more than her share, much of Madeline's time is occupied by keeping in shape for competition. Luckily, swimming and skin diving, her two favorite pastimes, lit into this scheme and fill much of the slender beauty's spare moments. Madeline also spends three times a week working out with weights, once verboten to any girl, and still not popularly acceptable to many people. People just don't seem to understand that working with weights properly doesn't make bulg- ing muscles, but instead is a valuable supplement to poise and natural beauty in competition, says George Bruce, one-time owner of a valley gymnasium and now coach of several Southland models. Before the game on Saturday, Madeline spent much of her time studying for an upcoming exam and helping her mother around the house. Naturally enough, con- siderable time was spent admiring the new crown that was to be hers for the evening, as well as anticipating the time had by Gail Weichlein at last year's Home- coming game. And, of course, much time was spent in answering congratulatory telephone calls, looking in newspapers for mention of the previous evening's dance and finally getting ready for the BIG game. ,-- ' Taking time out before the Homecoming game, Madeline helps her mother prepare dinner. for Madeline.
