For those of you who don't know how lucky you were to experience such a phenomemon, this was only the second time it has snowed in Valdosta since 1959. The little white fluffy stuff had most students itching to play and definitely not wanting to attend classes. During the few light 'blizzards' students romped in the snow while others were amazed by the fragile flakes coming down from heaven. A first for many Southerners, the snow lifted the spirits of everyone during this unusually cold winter quarter. SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! X

KZ? Miss VSC Pageant '57 342 The traditional Miss Valdosta State College pageant reached a landmark birthday as it was presented winter quarter. Twenty-four of the annual contests preceded this year's pageant and the eighteen contestants were undoub- tedly as beautiful by today's standards as the crinolined girls who participated in the 1952 event. Sponsored by Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, the pageant is a franchise of the Miss Georgia Pageant and the winner represents the college at the June-slated state event. The winner also receives a scholarship and other gifts. The girls displayed talent and went through the paces of bathing suit and evening gown competition as Lisa Smith and Nancy Buntin, Miss Georgia 1972 and 1970, respectively, provided comment. The Thursday evening event was highlighted by some unusual talent such as gymnastic routines and mime. In the end, Kim Purser relinquished her crown to Eden Beck, whose talent was a Karate demonstration set to music.
