This year was no exception. Neither was the variety and the caliber of talent. The thirty talented girls sang, danced, played the piano, the trumpet, and one even presented a Karate exhibition. There was comedy as well as serious moments. Debbie Gee presented a dra- matic reading called ‘I'm Only Seven- teen,”’ which really touched the audi- ence. Lighter moments occurred when Michelle Smith ‘stormed the weather’; Jill Moore ‘washed that man right out of her hair’; Susan Benton tried to ‘get him with a gun’; Sherolyn Ford ‘changed’, and Tracey Self clogged to “White Showing how it is done in ballet is Carmen Cranford. Tracy Rogers demonstrates that Karate is as beautiful as it is protective. Lightning”. There were acts for all ages and taste. A former Mr. Northside, 1970, Frank Stewart, was MC with Mr. Horne. As he so aptly remarked, ‘Without the Miss Northside Pageant, we would not be aware of all the talent that is at North- side High School.” One of the last announcements of the pageant is to present the talent awards. This year Sherolyn Ford received 3rd place with a song; Julie Clift received 2nd with a modern dance; and Michelle Smith played the trumpet and sang her way into lst place. Congratulations to the talent winners and to all those girls who participated in this year’s pageant.
