Appearances, Attitude, Accomplishments Q. What made you want to be a contestant in Miss P.S.U. pageant? A. I wanted to enter the pageant because I have always enjoyed being in pageants; there is so much behind it, besides the final night on stage. You gain a sense of accomplishment and develop a feeling of self-improve- ment and self-worth. I wanted to be in the Miss P.S.U. pageant to better myself, get to know more people, and show the pride I have in P.S.U. Q. What attributes do you have that would make the job easier? A. I have experience in being in pageants, and love to meet new people. Also being an art major, I may be able to use my talents during my reign. Q. What are your responsibilities now? A. My duties now are to travel around the state and be somewhat of a Public Relations person for the school, representing it in parades, pageants, and various other on and off-campus functions. Q. How has your life changed since you were crowned? A. I feel I have grown so much since November 7 7, but I am anticipating the further growth through this next year. I feel excited and a little afraid but still eager to represent P.S.U. in in any way possible. Q. What do you hope to accomplish during your year? A. I hope I can fulfill all the qualities a good queen should. I hope to be the best I possibly can at being Miss P.S.U. Q. If you could have people from outside P.S.U. ask you about the school, what would you convey to them? A. I would tell them the long list of positive qualities that P.S.U. holds; homelike smallness, individual facul- ty aid, great art, business, and educa- tion departments; excellent cultural environment. Q. Future plans-? A. I plan to further my education in art with a concentration in Commercial Design. Q. Feelings about the pageant? What would you change? A. I feel that this Miss P.S.U. pageant was the best, most well-planned and executed pageant I ' ve seen. Being with the girls for those 6 rehearsals and making new friends was the most rewarding part. I wouldn ' t change a thing. Q. What was the 7-minute interview during the competition like? A. The interview was very enjoyable. Most of the questions were about myself and P.S.U. The judges were very cordial and I felt comfortable talking with them. Q. What part of the pageant did you like or dislike? A. The interview was the part I liked and disliked the most. There is so much anticipation before the interview and yet so much pleasure once you are actually with the judges. Q. How did your friends and family react? A. My family and friends were ecstatic!! I had a couple of friends - some in Wilmington, one in Cullowhee - that I contacted later that night. My whole family was there! Then, of course, there were the friends here, which I owe so much to for putting up with all t he things I had to do! Along with my blood relatives, my sorority sisters were there supporting me all the way! I love them very much! Immediately Above: At work or at play, Kathy ' s sunny smile shines through.

HB Christmas Across Campus Christmas is a season that every- one enjoys. There are gifts to be given, decorations to be hung and parties to be attended. It would seem that in the midst of exams students would not have the time for celebrating this holiday season. However, all through the hustle and bustle, the Christmas spirit thrives. On the P.S.U. campus, the major activities began the Sunday before exams. In each of the dorms, Christmas trees were set up and decorated with the usual lights, tinsel, and bulbs. These added a touch of home to the hectic activities of the final week. For the women living in the Belk and North Halls, these few days before the semester ' s end were filled with mystery and intrigue. It was during this time that they became Secret Angels. This game was played throughout a period of four days. Each day secret angels left gifts for the people whose names they drew. The intrigue of this game was to keep the secret angels ' identity unknown until the hall party held on the Thursday night. Along with each hall having a party, each dorm also had a party. The wonder of exam week was the time students took from studying to send cards to friends, decorate the room doors and gather for a time of fellowship. So with the presents under the tree, lights blinking from the dorm windows, and Christmas drawings hung for decorations, Pembroke State University rang out the old year and welcomed in the new. u m ' 30
