DECEMBER. 1965 THE MARY POTTER GAZETTE PAGE FIVE Miss America Pageant Scenes Given CAROLYN HOBGOOD Miss Massachusetts Harris Becomes 1st Runner-Up Theresa Lynn Harris, Miss Ar kansas, the first runner-up for the crown is the daughter of Mr. Theo dore Harris and the late Mrs. Catherine Harris. Lynn’s measurements are 30-22-3.^. She is five feet five inches tall. She received a very warm ovation from the audience for her talent rendi tion “Latin Spirit" to “Tequila,” and certainly everyone was aware of a good mind at work when she, as one of the five finalists, answered so readily the question concerning her choice of a career. Early in the fall, Lynn was chosen Miss Mary Potter to reign from sixty-eight senior girls. Certainly with her personality and her aca demic standing the student body chose wisely when she received a plurality of votes cast. This young lady has many hob bies. She loves to read, look at T.V., dance, attend sports activities, ride, and travel. After finishing Mary Potter, she plans to attend Bennett College where she will major in psychology and minor in sociology.
