Shades of the Past, a Night to Remember The search for rhe prettiest, most poised, ond most talented girl to carry the title of Miss Woodbridge began lost spring. The contestants were nominated by their peers through English classes. Twenty-eight girls represent¬ ing all four grade levels par¬ ticipated in the second annual Miss Woodbridge Pageant. The rheme for the pageant was Shades of the Past.” In keeping with the theme, a dance was taught to the girls which contained segments of the Jitterbug, the Charleston, the Twist, and the Moonwolk. This dance was not a part of the competition between the girls; instead, it was for enter¬ tainment and fun. The rheme was also incorporated by hav¬ ing rhe girls appear in outfits from their favorite era. Working on the pageant became an exciting project. As Debbie Sweasy put it, The pageant gave me an oppor¬ tunity to meet new friends and become better ac¬ quainted with the ones I already knew.” The efforts of the S.C.A. and Mrs. Thora Davis, the sponsor, made the pageant more than just a competition; it became a chance to make new friends as well. Finally, the much awaited night arrived with a special aura present in the auditorium. By the close of the evening, a new Miss Woodbridge, Shannon Johnson, was crowned. As Shannon recalls, Being crowned gave me the most incredible feeling of relief and satisfaction of accomplishing something.” Shannon ' s duties have in¬ cluded accompanying the S.C.A. in their activities and being involved in the opening ceremonies for the Lake Ridge Community Park. Shan¬ non also serves to represent the spirit of Woodbridge to the rest of the community. Look at those pearly whites. Robin Walker has just been announced first runner-up ro Miss Woodbridge. Not that question! The ten semi-finolists were required to answer questions, randomly selected, about the Wood- bridge community ond future plans. A rose for the pretty lady ...
