On Election Day, Friday, Oc
tober 8, 1965, Miss Linda Wil
son out-polled three other
candidates and was elected
NCC’s nineteenth Miss Home
coming.
Commenting on her election.
Miss Wilson said that she was
very pleasantly surprised to
learn of her victory because
she had not planned on seeking
the title, and consequently had
not campaigned strenuously.
She entered the race at the
repeated suggestion of some of
her friends, more to placate
them, than to satisfy a yearn
ing to be Miss Homecoming.
When asked how it felt to be.
Miss Homecoming, she replied,
“It was a wonderful feeling,
but it was difficult to de
scribe.” She said that it was
like being in love and that she
was gratified to learn that her
classmates held her in such
high esteem.
It often happens that when a
young lady wins honors of this
nature, her relationship with
her beau becomes somewhat
strained, but Linda laughs at
any thought of this happening
to her and says that it won’t
affect the relationship at all.
Even though she is close to
McDougal, her boyfriend, she
is career-minded and looks for
ward to furthering her educa
tion. She would like to teach
either the exceptionally gifted
child or to work with the re
tarded. Whatever she decides to
do, one cannot help but be con
vinced that she will do quite
well at it. A quick examination
of her academic record shows
that Linda is as well endowed
with brains as with beauty.
The senior Health Education
major is a member of the Al
pha Kappa Mu National Honor
Society, an achievement which
speaks quite clearly for itself.
Linda manages to be active in
a nimiber of worthwhile cam
pus activities without any de
cline in her grades. She belongs
to the Health Club, the Canter
bury Club, the Student Nation
al Education Association and
still finds time to serve as a
senior counselor to the fresh
man women in Annie Day
Shepard Dormitory. Linda is
the oldest of four daughters, of
which three attend NCC. When
asked if her parents would at
tend the parade and coronation,
she indicated she was not sure,
but hoped that they could be
present so that they might
share some of the joys and ex
citements of the coronation.
Linda will be formally
crowned Miss Homecoming
during the half-time intermis
sion of the football game be
tween NCC and Shaw Univer
sity.
