won the title Saturday night,
along with a $10,000 scholarship
and the possibility of earning
about $75,000 from personal ap
pearances.
Miss Mead, a junior at the Uni
versity of Mississippi, intepds to
return to school after her year as
Miss America is over, then go to
get a master’s degree in English.
Newsmen gathered around Miss
Mead. How does she like to spend
leisure time?
“I like to read and listen to
music,” she said. She added that
music did not include rock’n’roll.
“I just haven’t been able to catch
on to it.”
Second in the contest was Miss
Wisconsin, Mary Alice Fox, 20, of
Sheboygan. She won a $3,000
scholarship.
In third place was Miss Wash
