Sidney Anthony ’09 Captures Second Place at America’s Junior Miss Mississippi’s Junior Miss Sidney Anthony ’09 wowed the crowd and the judges at the America’s Junior Miss competition in Mobile, Alabama, in June, capturing second place (first alternate) in the national competition. Anthony, now a freshman at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, took home $42,000 in scholarships from the local, state, and national Junior Miss competitions. • Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee and his wife were among the well-wishers who made the four-hour drive to Mobile to watch as Anthony represented Mississippi in the national spotlight. • “Sidney Anthony is one of those one-in-a-million people who just stands above the crowd,” McGee said. “She’s an asset to the community, and we just wanted to show our support.” • The Junior Miss program emphasizes personal development, education, and life skills that help prepare young women for success in college and beyond. The five areas of competition include interview, talent, scholastics, physical fitness, and personal expression, which includes an on-stage question. At the national level, Anthony finished in the top five in talent and in physical fitness. • Anthony and the 49 other contestants spent two weeks in Mobile rehearsing for the show and taking part in community events. • “Learning about all the different girls’ lifestyles was extremely interesting because it showed me the differences in cultures around the United States,” Anthony says. “But although we all had our own accents and cultural differences, we had one important thing in common: our values. It was very comforting to know that there are other girls out there with priorities in life similar to my own.”
