Beauty Elegance Sets Tone for Contest At school they wore jeans, T- shirts, and high heels. But for the Miss Valdosta High School con- test, junior and senior young ladies went all out for elegance. They chose flowing chiffons, taffetas, and crepes — even ruffles. Even the theme brought to mind an era of sentimentality: they chose to use “How Deep Is Your Love,” a song by the quite modem BeeGees as the motif for the staging and decorations. When the contestants paraded for the judges, first in evening gowns and then in sportswear, they entered by crossing a bridge ana passing a water fall and a well. Masses of greenery further gave the stage the appearance of a gar- den of an earlier time. After judges made their prelimi- nary decisions, the five finalists returned to the stage. And David New, junior class president, announced that Leslie Brown was Miss VHS for 1979. Ms. Roberta Wetherington, math teacher, helped the juniors prepare and stage the contest. Pro- ceeds financed the Junior-Senior dance a month later. OPPOSITE PACE, TOP, LEFT: Gretchen Scruggs, Beth Belue, Kelly Schroer take a look at onstage action.
