Rana Reigns s 1 On September 11, 1982, there were sixty-one young ladies who were all dressed up with one place to go. They were the contestants for the Miss Pulaski County High School Beauty Pag¬ eant. The organizations in the school chose a girl to repre¬ sent them, and all chipped in for the five dollars regis¬ tration fee. All the contes¬ tants had to do was turn in her name, height, and the money to SCA President Buddy Ratcliffe or Mrs. Ma- jella Myers. It sounded easy enough, so why worry? Why worry indeed! It was human nature to be nervous in front of a crowd of people; but long hot dresses and high heels did not help any. Backstage, contestant Suzan Edwards paced the floor and worried about her hair, makeup, and dre ss. Of all horrors to occur, the hem in Kaye Thompson’s dress blithely decided to unravel fifteen minutes before the pageant started. The theme for the pag¬ eant was “Pretty as a Pic¬ ture.” Each contestant in¬ deed looked picturesque as she was escorted up the ris¬ ers by Jeff Jones, Stan Rob¬ erts, or Sanford Jenkins. When asked if he had a memorable experience, Jeff Jones flashed a smile and said, “How many times does a guy get to escort that many good-looking girls in one night? It was great!” Along with being escorted, the girls were announced by em¬ cee Mr. Don Skeen and sere¬ naded by pianist David Jones. He played selections such as “Endless Love” for the ladies’ great entrance. Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived. The enve¬ lope was opened and amid smiles and tears sophomore Rana Whited was crowned Miss PCHS 1982 by Mr. Skeen. Standing close in at¬ tendance were first runner- up Kelly Bowers and second runner-up Kaye Thompson. The pageant was sponsored by SCA in order to raise funds for Homecoming and was a success that was en¬ joyed by participants and spectators alike that Sep¬ tember night. Prize Winning Smiles — Second runner-up Kaye Thompson, Miss PCHS 1982 Rana Whited, and first runner-up Kelly Bowers are all smiles after the crowning.
