The pageant has a long history in Duplin and many winners have ranked among contestants for tljetitle of Miss North Carolina. ^ -The Miss Duplin County pageant Whad originally been sponsored by the jiccal Jaycees, but is now in its first year under the direction of the Duplin County Pageant Association. Sie 1984 competition will be the first iss Duplin pageant since the 1981 competition in which Julia Spicer of Kenansville was crowned. The Miss Duplin County pageant was sponsored by the Warsaw and Calypso Jaycees the last three years of its existance. It was originally ^organized by the Warsaw Jaycees. ^The Warsaw Jaycees held their first preliminary Miss America pageant in 1966 and awarded the title of Miss Warsaw to the winner. The pageant was the week of the Veterans' celebration in Warsaw with the queen making her first official appearance in the Veterans' Day parade. Carolyn Denton Cresham of Warsaw was the first Miss Warsaw and the pageant continued one more _ year with Patricia Ann Hopkins of 9faison winning the 1968 title of Miss Warsaw. ' After 1968, the Warsaw Jaycees changed the name of the pageant making the title more suitable for I i ? any girl in the county, Miss Duplin County. And, the first Miss Duplin County pageant was held in Kenan Memorial Auditorium on the Satur day night of the annual Veterans' Day parade. There were nine con testants and Miss North Carolina Anita Johnson and Miss America Judy Ford were among the visiting guests. A former Miss North Caro lina Jeanne Swanner was mistress of ceremonies, and Mrs. Jo Jones of Warsaw directed the pageant. The winner received a $300 scholarship, first runner-up received $100, and second runner-up received $75, with Miss Congeniality receiving $50. The following were Miss Duplin Countys: 1970, Nancy Coleen Shaw of Beulaville; 1971, Karen Louise DeLuca of Warsaw; 1972, Helen Elizabeth Bostic of Wallace; 1983, Angela Carol Hanct.?.y of Rom Hill; 1974, Jo Carol Jones of Warsaw; 1975, Debbie Weston of Beulaville; 1976, Mary Sanderson of Wallace. After the Miss Duplin County pageant in 1976 another competition was not held until 1979. However, Duplin did not go unrepresented in the Miss North Carolina pageant; our county was represented by Miss Beulaville 1976 Sonja Yvette Miller, who placed as first runner-up and won the talent competiton, and Miss Beulaville 1977 Kimberly Ann Ed wards. The Miss Beulaville pageants were held each year in July, im mediately following the Miss North Carolina pageant, and in 1976 Duplin had two representatives in the state pageant ? Mary Sanderson Miss Duplin County and June Home Miss Beulaville 1975. The Beulaville pageant was sponsored by the Beulaville Jaycees, and in 1978 the pageant was changed to a Beulaville Junior Miss. After a break of two years, the Miss Duplin County pageant was held again in 1979 by the Warsaw Jaycees with the aid of the Calypso Jaycees. The pageant was directed by Sam Garner of Wilmington, and Miss North Carolina Debbie Shook was present. Tina Brewer of Faison was crowned Miss Duplin County. The following year a Warsaw native, Shari Jones, was crowned Miss Duplin County and selected as Miss Congeniality at the Miss North Carolina pageant. Shari Jones gave up her crown the following year to Julia Spicer of Kenansville. The 1981 competition was the last Miss Duplin County pageant sponsored by the Jaycees. The Duplin County Pageant Asso ciation hosted both the Miss Duplin County and Little Miss Duplin County competitons. Contestants for Miss Duplin included Melissa Lou Brooks. Allyson Stroud, Oscara L.
