by Laura Norris, photo editor As the audience eagerly waited for the 50th Annual Miss Caprock Pageant to start, the contestants hurriedly got ready backstage. Kasey McCain was crowned Miss Caprock 2007 during the 50th annual Miss Caprock Scholarship Pageant, which was held Nov. 16 at the Tom T. Hall Recording and Production Studio in the Creative Arts Building. The 2007 Miss Caprock, Haleigh Ballow, who is a sophomore at South Plains College majoring in elementary education, presented the crown. “This experience was just awesome,” said McCain, who represented the cosmetology program. “It was unbelievable.” McCain is majoring in cosmetology and plans to get her license and then graduate with an associate’s degree from SPC. The daughter of Tommy and Sharon McCain of Midland enjoys activities such as shopping, watching movies, and playing softball. “All the girls were so sweet,” McCain said of her fellow pageant contestants. “I didn’t even think I was going to be in the top five.” The three judges interviewed the contestants individually before the pageant. Then the candidates modeled their casual wear outfits across the stage while Julie Gerstenberger, who served as mistress of ceremonies, described what each girl liked about SPC, what her future plans are, and what she thinks would be a perfect lifestyle to lead not only today but in the future. After the beautiful vocal performance by Engelo Charles, the judges released their choices for the top five contestants. While the other nominees went backstage, the girls prepared to answer their impromptu questions. These questions were formed from their personal interview prior to the pageant, and they applied to each girl’s life in some way, such as how they would get other students involved in activities that they are involved in.
