aroiyn Garrison was named
iss Texas Western” Saturday
light in Bandera. She will go on
to compete in the Miss Texas
By JANE G. BRUST
Battalion Reporter
Last week she dreamed about
being on that stage.
Saturday night, when she finally
did walk on it, that stage “as big as a
basketball court, ” Texas A&M Uni
versity student Carolyn Garrison
was crowned Miss Texas Western
1981 at the pageant held in the Ban
dera High School auditorium.
“I just thought it wasn’t true," said
the freshman marketing major from
Alice. “I still haven’t grasped the fact
that it leads me to the next pageant.”
The Miss Texas Western title will
take her to El Paso’s Miss Texas
U.S.A. pageant in August. That win
ner will represent the state in the
Miss U.S.A. pageant.
“It’s scary out on the stage in a
pageant,” she said. “I usually don’t
wear my contacts because it makes
me more nervous to see the audi
ence’s clear expressions.
“I wonder, ‘Am I sucking my sto
mach in, standing up straight?’ My
lips begin to quiver from smiling so
much, and there’s constant photo
graphs,” she said.
The glittering of camera flashes
keeps her alert but does not add to
her nervousness, she said.
Garrison appeared on stage in a
group dance routine, in swimsuit
competition, and in western wear
competition.
After rising at 6a.m. Saturday, she
was kept busy with rehearsals and
interviews until pageant time at 7:30
p.m.
She said the contestants were
given 30 minutes before the pageant
to freshen up and relax, but they had
to add makeup to their feces and
brush hairspray through their hair all
day to be ready for the evening’s
program.
Garrison said that at every
pageant, no matter what the women
do to enhance their appearance,
U.S.A. pageant in El Paso next judges always see them “in their ele-
August. Garrison is a freshman ment” at some time during pageant
marketing major from Alice. preparation.
“They’ll see you as you really are at
least once,” she said. “They’re there
while we eat, snack, practice. I had
to talk to one judge in my shorts,
with hair in rollers, while I was prac
ticing my routine.”
In the last portion of the program,
after being named one of 10 finalists.
Garrison appeared on stage for an
impromptu question and answer ses
sion.
She said the iunniest thing during
the two-day pageant occurred when
she received her question.
“They asked me to describe the
ideal man for me to marry," she said.
“The guy I’ve been dating and two
other guys and my mom were sitting
in the audience,” sh? said, “and
when the emcee read my question,
the whole audience was silent, and
then those four people busted a gut
laughing. Then the people busted a
gut laughing. Then the emcee
pointed a finger at them and jokingly
said they could leave the room.”
Garrison began her pageant ex
perience with winnning the Miss
Heart of the Border title in May,
1979, at the first pageant she ever
entered.
She said a man who runs pageants
asked her if she’d like to enter and
she did. That title took her to the
Texas Junior Miss Pageant in
January.
The new Miss Texas Western will
spend the coming year attending
rodeos and pageants all over Texas.
Garrison said interviews and other
pageant experiences have helped
her overcome shyness as well as feel
ings of inferiority.
“I’ve learned how not to be shy,”
she said, “and I know I can do stuff on
that stage without it really bothering
me.”
