Miss Mississippi College 1979, Janet McMurray, radiates with the joy and emotion of a very spe- cial moment— embarking on a Brand New Day” of opportunity and adventure. Miss MC, Janet McMurray, exemplifies the words of Carole King’s Beautiful” which she per- formed for the pageant audience and judges. 1 a i dN excrriNG eviemnG of P G6M1TRY MID BGdUTY Warren Langworthy, a 1978 graduate of MC, re- rnu to the Nelson stage for the special evening °f pageantry. As the glitter and glamour of an ex- citing one night stand faded to become a mere gossamer memory, it was still in many ways the beginning of a “Brand New Day”. The newly crowned Miss Mississippi College, Janet McMurray, had only begun to imagine the myriad opportunities, friendships and adven- tures which were to come her way as a result of that spring evening of pag- eantry in 1979. In Janet’s own words it was “an honor” and “a nice thing”, but more importantly she felt that it was an opportunity to show the world that there is more to beauty than outward appearance. The inner beauty is more important, according to Janet, and it was that inner beauty which radiated outward to move the hearts of au- dience, judges, and fellow contestants, as she captured the talent award, as well as the Miss MC title. The selection which captured the award, Carole King’s “Beautiful”, echoed Janet’s own attitude in its lyrics: “You’ve got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart. And people gonna treat you better— you’re gonna find, oh yes you will, that you’re beautiful as you feel”. 21
