PAGE 4—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Dec. 7, 1967 Judges have just named Brantlee Price (second from left) “Miss Newberrian” and other finalists in the annual Newberry College beauty pageant turn to congrat ulate the hometown Newberry freshman. Other finalists, from left, are Linda Lub- elsky, Isle of Palms; Paul Jean Dickey, Miami; Mary Ruth Armfield, Newberry; and Susan Oetgen, Savannah. Coveted title is taken by local bauty A hometown Newberry beau ty, freshman Brantlee Price, won the coveted “Miss New- berrian” title Wednesday night in competition with 18 other glamor coeds at Newberry Col lege. Judges picked her at the cli max of a colorful pageant in which the starting field was narrowed to five finalists. Con testants paraded in street clothes and later in evening gowns, to the strains of music from “My Fair Lady.” The winner’s title is derived from the college yearbook “The Newberrian.” The student edi torial staff sponsors the contest each year. “Miss Newberrian” is the daughter of Col. and Mrs. J. R. Price, Newberry residents. She graduated from Newberry high school last June. First runner-up was another freshman, Susan Oetgen, dau ghter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Oetgen Jr., Savannah, Georgia. Second runner-up was Paula Jean Dickey, Miami, Florida, senior. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Dickey. The newly enthroned year book queen was entered as a candidate by the Newberry Col lege chapter of Blue Key, nat ional honoraiy fraternity. From her first entrance, she com manded the attention of the judges and the audience of 300 in the college’s Little Theatre. She carried her tall figure with poise, and her slender grace was accentuated by her bru nette tresses, worn in a highly styled coiffure. Miss Price is majoring in music and minoring in educa tion at Newberry College. She will leave the campus this week with the Newbery College Singers for a seven-day concert tour of Florida . She is also a sports fan and varsity cheerleader, and said enthusiastically during an in terview as part of the compe tition that “cheerleading has been just about the most im portant thing that’s happened to me since I came to Newberry college!” But that was just minutes before the judges’ decision made her the reigning beauty on campus and she clapped a gloved hand to her mouth in momentary consternation. The new Miss Newberrian was crowned by Diane Holmes of Edgefield, who was last year’s title holder. Stan Frice, 19G8 yearbook editor from Lexington, helped to place the scarlet mantle on Miss Price’s shoulders. Other finalists were junior Mary Ruth Armfield, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. 0. F. Arm- field of Newberry, and sopho more Linda Lubelsky, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lubelsky Jr. of Isle of Palms. Judges were Mrs. Bobbi Car ter, Augusta, Ga., fashion con sultant; Newberry graduate Eva Jane Price of Columbia and Dr. Sydney Fulmer, Spartan burg. Pageant emcees were New berry businessman Charles Dukes and the retiring Miss Newberrian, Miss Holmes. Songs from “My Fair Lady” were presented by students Susan Johns and Chuck Holmes accompanied by Ford Ewald- sen. Local Kendall men attend conference CHARLOTTE, N.
