"I never expected to win,"
blue-eyed Betty Gibson, Bell Hop

so pessimistic that my escort
bought me a pack of Luckies be
fore the dance as a consolation
prize."
"Gibby," as she is known to her
friends, was chosen reigning
queen of the Greeters' Hop from
among seven finalists competing
for the title.
The attractive brunette said
she was so nervous when her
name was announced that she
thought she would collapse on her
feet.
"My first surprise came several
weeks ago," said Betty, "when
the Delta Sigma Pi, Commerce
and Finance honorary, informed
me that I had been selected as
their candidate. Sam Neely, ATO.
was picked as my escort."
"Gibby" measures 5 feet 6
inches, weighs 120 pounds, and
has brown hair. This was her first
experience as a contestant in a
beauty queen contest.
When asked if she had original
ly planned to attend the Pitt

had been a 50-50 chance, but now
that the tickets and room arc
waiting, she will definitely attenc.
