school as part Of the Montgomery

was picked by a jury of artists for the

to be confused with the Miss America
title awarded in bathing beauty compe-
Gtions. There were no bathing beauties

Mrs. Pennington. then Miss Patter-

teacher at the time of the award. She

was not satisfied She turned her back
on the movies and decided to devote
her life to evangelism. Her success in
this field has been remarkable, it is
