Miss Longwood , Sally Chewning Crowned Queen Of Tobacco Festival By BETH RAFFERTY Sally Chewning, Miss Longwood, was crowned National Tobacco Queen at the festival on October 3, received a two thousand dollar scholarship as one of her prizes. Sally competed against twentytwo other girls in the contest which ran from October 2 to the 6. The contest was held in Richmond, and the girls stayed in the Hotel John Marshall during the festival. The pageant consisted of the contestants being judged on their talent, and a three-minute talk. "They were the only things we competed in really," stated Sally. For the demonstration of their talent, "I did my karate," said Sally. She added that, "I did the same thing as in the Miss Ixmgwood Pageant." The only difference was that this time she broke three boards instead of one. Sally enthusiastically added that, "I got my green belt tonight." Sally stated that for her three-

minute talk, "I took the marriage ceremonial vows and took a comparison of renewing my vows to the country, since the bicentennial is coming up." The contestants were also interviewed by the Judges for two nights. Sally said that they knew everything about her, and when she walked in for the interview, the first question they asked was, "Tell us something we don't know about you." Poise and personality was also an important part of how the contestants scored. "We were judged at all times, and we never knew who the judges were," added Sally. There were two sets of chaperones who stayed with the girls in the hotel, and Sally stated that, "I'm pretty sure we were judged by them on how we get along with the rest of the girls." Most of the contestants were from Virginia, but one was from West Virginia, one was from North Carolina, and two were from South Carolina. "We all had VMI seniors as escorts, and these boys were just the greatest," said Sally. She added that, "I think

thanks should be given to them." Among her duties as National Tobacco Queen, Sally will attend the major convention which is held in West Virginia in June, and a Jaycees Convention, bank openings, and parades. Sally described her feelings at the Ball which was given for her by saying that, "It was like being Cinderella." The ball was held at the Richmond Hyatt House, and Sally was driven up to the door in a convertible. She added that, "It just felt like I was walking on a cloud." She stated that, "It was really a nice ball." Her parents are "just really excited," stated Sally and she added that her father is "really proud of me." She also received a silver reviere bowl, and a gift certificate. When asked if she intended to compete in any more contests, Sally responded by saying that, "This is the tops for me. I just can't go any higher." Lewis Little, Sally's boyfriend who attents U of R, stated when Sally won, "Pull out the Foster Grants, we're celebraties."
