California 'S Junior Miss I l An honor which falls on only one girl once a year, which stands her out from all other girls in her home state, is a rare honor indeed. lt has never happened to anyone in the Porterville area until earlier this year, when the State Junior Miss ti- tle was won by Gail Bendoski. The surprised senior won the title out of 76 contestants at the pageant held at Santa Rosa. She is one of 50 contestants from each state who traveled to Mobile, Albama for the National junior Miss Pageant. At the state pageant, the girls were judged in five categories, academic achievement, physical condition, poise and appearance, a judge's in- terview and talent. Along with the title, Gail won a Sl, 900 scholarship, 515200 wardrobe, a girls' ten-speed bike, Kodak Camera with her name engraved on it, a set of luggage, and a paid trip to the finals at Mobile. Asked about her experience at the pageant, Gail relates that it was A and I think we learned the true mean- ing of love and giving. We were al- ways helping and encouraging each other to keep doing their very best. It's hard to explain the feeling that existed among the girls. It's an ex- perience l'll always cherish, and I want to thank everyone for all their love and support. very growing one for every girl there,
