"My mind went completely blank. I couldn't believe I had won," she said. Christy, who was born in Alabama and raised in Arkansas, represented the latter in the 1977 competition. This year, she will be on hand to crown her successor on "America's Junior Miss Pageant," Monday at 7 p.m. on Chan- nel 5.

A high school teacher, who has been involved in the program, encouraged Christy to enter. ' It wasn't clear to me what the America's Junior Miss Pageant stood for then.

Miss Moller will crown this year's winner at the pageant, which will be televised Monday at 7 p.m. on Channel 5. test," Miss Moller recalled. "It turned out to stand for a lot of the things that I've always felt were important primarily scholastic achievement, as well as high personal standards and service to the community." She said she felt honored simply to be representing her county in the state pageant. "I couldn't believe it when I found I would be going to the out that national finals. I'd always watched it on television and it really excited me to know that I would actually be there in Mobile." She had not been named a winner of any of the preliminary nights of the national competition and had no thoughts of emerging as America's Junior Miss. "When I was announced as a finalist, it was the ultimate. It meant that I'd get to do my talent presentation on stage and that my friends back home would get a chance to watch me a little longer on Will Reign television." Christy said the talent presentation was the "scariest" part. She performed a ballet. "I'm not a serious dancer by any means," she said. "I just enjoy it, and I had been taking lessons at the time." She discovered that the contestants arc not judged on professional skills but "on what you do with what you've got ; originality and creativity are stressed." Still, she found herself a little more nervous during this segment of the contest. "For the other portions you can draw on the strength of the other girls. Here you're out on your own. I just hoped I wouldn't fall." Beyond the excitement of this year stands the impact of the $15,000 scholarship Miss Moller received. "The former Junior Misses I've spoken to remember the friends and fun but said that it was the scholarship money that really changed their lives," Christy says.
