Miss Patty Burnette became the new Miss MSU for 1967 amid an overflow crowd in the Union Ballroom on Saturday evening, February 18 of 1967. Patty, a nineteen year-old De- troit sophomore in Divisional Social Science, maintained her poise throughout the evening, including during her ,crowning when the crown refused to remain atop her head. ' Pageant emcee Don japinga, former football co-captain, ex- hibited his humorous nature during the breaks between the various bathing suit, evening gown and talent competitions. For her talent, Patty, a vocalist with the Sondettes, sang L'My Heart Sings to the applause ofthe audience. Patty's particular interests include bowling, rollerskating, ping-pong, dancing, and singing. During her reign as Miss MSU, Patty will represent Michi- gan State in the Miss Michigan Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss America Pageant, and be making public appear- ances around the State of Michigan.
