The five finalists in the Miss TC Beauty Contest, formerly the Miss Bulldog Contest, were announced Saturday night at the Harvest Dance. The announcement was made by George Dobson, KTKL television.

The five finalists are Marsha Barnes, Darla Fox, Jean Goodman, Paula Jones, and Connie Owens. These five were chosen by a group of five judges, at the Miss TC Beauty Pageant on November 16.

Judges at the pageant were Tom Lavin, comedy writer; Mrs. Roselyn Nichols, director of the Miss Atlanta Pageant; Marie Fredrick, fashion coordinator for Shreveport; and Dan Blocker, “Bonanza’s” Hoss Cartwright. The finalists were chosen in the Student Center, where each contestant was interviewed.

The Pumpkin, specializing in “heavy” music, played for the dance in the gymnasium.

Three people are standing together, smiling and laughing. The man in the center wears a suit and tie, while the two women on either side are dressed formally and appear to be enjoying a lighthearted moment.
