Miss Teenage America Starts Assembly Season With Thrill Karen Petersen, Miss Teenage America of 1975, shares her views on citizenship with the student body. Woodrow's assembly season started off big this year with the appearance of Miss Teenage America of 1975, Karen Petersen. Karen was enthusiastically received by the student body as she spoke of her experiences during the M.T.A. pageant and after being chosen Miss Teenage America. Following Karen's speech the audience was entertained by the Navy Country Western Band. This group played tunes from popular country artists, and students applauded them heartily. Some students even sang along to such songs as Okie From Muskogee” and “Red-neck Mother.” The Novy Bond seems to feel ot home playing country music before Woodrow's students and faculty.
