Belmont Student in Miss Tennessee Pageant
Belmont's own Lindsey Harper is one of 36 finalists in the Miss Tennessee pageant, to be held June 18-21 in Jackson, Tenn.. Harper, 20, of Trenton, Tennessee, won the Miss Madison contest, a preliminary to the Miss Tennessee pageant. … Meanwhile, the third runner-up in the Miss Ohio contest last month, Emily Fitzpatrick, is coming to Belmont, reports the Marion Star newspaper: She will leave Aug. 23 for Belmont University near Nashville, a Tennessee school known for its musical theater program. Fitzpatrick, who also has an interest in writing music, noted its proximity to the country music capital. "I think being around that kind of atmosphere will be helpful to me if I choose to go into that kind of business," she said. … And Kata Rhe Gillispie, Miss Louisville and a top-10 finisher in the Miss Kentucky pageant, is coming to Belmont to do graduate work. Gillispie earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Eastern Kentucky University. The Georgetown, Ky. newspaper has the story in its archives.
