For Jr. Miss Title Spirit Award went to Miss Lynda Greiner. The theme of this year ' s Junior Miss was based on Memories Are Forever , which led to the unique way of introducing the girls, by first showing their baby pictures and then introducing the girls as they are now. The girls worked hard for six to eight weeks for the special event. As Junior Miss came to an end, the general comment was, It ' s over already!? The competion at Lowell is tougher than most schools, but it prepares the winner for the state contest. The main man behind Junior Miss and General Chairman for the past three years was Mr. Geno Flores. Geno and his wife, Phyllis, worked tireless hours in coordinating the pageant so the girls would get the most enjoyment out of participating. This was Lowell ' s 15th annual Junior Miss Pag¬ eant and its success can only be attributed to the community of Lowell who supported it so well. TOP LEFT: AND THE WINNERS ARE.
