Self-proclaimed ?queen? William L. Adams ?04 won the Miss Harvard title?silver crown and crimson sash included?and along the way garnered several standing ovations, roses and even articles of clothing from a capacity crowd at Leverett House dining hall Friday night.
The audience raucously applauded the evening?s varied entertainment, which ranged from flamenco-inspired Spanish dance and a Tae Kwon Do combat scene to an interpretative painting with roller skates, among many other humorous and unusual segments.
The pageant took place beneath a rainbow-colored ?Miss Harvard? banner decorated with ?VANITAS? seals. After introducing themselves in a ?First Impressions? segment, contestants strutted their stuff in the beachwear portion and faced off in a talent show. The three finalists also endured short interviews.
Four women and four men competed for two awards?the Miss Harvard title, which was judged by four University administrators, and a Miss Congeniality distinction that the contestants voted on themselves.
The men were clearly the winners of the evening. They swept both awards, and only one of the three finalists for Miss Harvard was, in fact, a woman.
