Several weeks ago, long before be ing selected our cover girl, 17-year-old Penne (pronounced Penny) Percy of Waco wrote a paper for her high-school speech class. The title was, "I Want to Be Somebody"; the theme was that any person "will remain a ragpicker so long as he only has the vision of a ragpicker"; and the closing sentences were: "I'm going to hitch my wagon to a star! How about you?" Apparently, Penne has hitched her wagon to the right star, for today she's "Miss Somebody of 1960" to 15 million family weekly readers. She's the sec ond in a series of "unknown" girls se lected from all over the country for our covers during the year. Unlike the usual magazine cover girl, our "Miss Somebody" has done no professional modeling. This is her first "Miss" title, and it could lead to a career. Penne, a trim, five-foot, seven-inch, 115-pounder, comes by her beauty nat urally. Her mother, the former Ann Green of Hattiesburg, Miss., looks like a model herself. Right now, college is Penne's major concern. "I'm going to the University of Texas," she says. "I'm going to ma jor in speech and dramatics with spe cial emphasis on radio and television." While titles may be something new for Penne, accomplishments are not. She's particularly proud of her achievements in the National Foren sic League, the Texas Interscholastic League, the Baylor University Little Theatre, Waco Civic Theatre, and as an apprentice in Southwest Summer Stock. Alee, she has participated i doMM of state speech toumaatenU ramilv Weekly, May 29, 1M0 Here is Penne Percy of Waco, second in the Family Weekly series of "unknown" cover girls Photos and Text by OZZIE SWEET many invitationsl she won first place at Brownwood, Texas, recently and she has appeared many times on Waco television shows. Penne still finds time to maintain high grades (averaging about 90 in Waco High School, where she is a sen ior), serve as a cheerleader and mem ber of the Girl's Service League, write a column for the school newspaper (she calls it "Penne's Percy-nalities"), collect rare books, cook, sew, and play the piano. - Penne also collects records (she likes all types of music, ranging from the classics to rock 'n' roll, depending on her mood, but Dixieland jazz is her favorite). She enjoys many outdoor activities, including swimming, water skiing, horseback riding, tennis, golf, and gardening. "I like to ice skate, too," she says laughingly, "but I don't have much chance since we moved to Texas." Penne is a "transplanted Texan." She was born in Hattiesburg, Miss., and moved to Waco 10 years ago from Belleville, 111. Her father James S. Percy was in the Air Force at that time he had been recalled to active duty during the Korean War and the family "shopped all over the United States" before Mr. Percy decided to give up his Air Force career so the family could "put down roots" in Waco. Discharged as a lieutenant colonel, he is now manager of the Waco branch of a stock brokerage firm. Penne has two sisters, Wendy, 12, and Jamie, 6. She baby-sits with Jamie and several other neighbor chil dren regularly and teaches Wendy's Sunday-school class at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Waco. Her favorite possessions include a rare book, "The Complete Works of Henry Wadswerth Longfellow," and a small silver charm bracelet with each charm representing some significant phase of her life. One charm, for in stance, is a miniature of the little train that said, "I think I can, I think I can, I knew I could," and another, from her mother, is inscribed with the reminder that "Pretty is as pretty does." Penne's most exciting achievements include her participation in the Natchez, Miss., pilgrimage last spring; a part in the New Orleans Spring Fiesta; being named a representative- to the Young Life Camp, a nondenominational youth camp in Colorado Springs, Colo.; and working last summer with Dr. H. H. Ransom, vice president and provost of the University of Texas. "I thought all that was exciting," Penne says, "but nothing compares with being 'Miss Somebody.' " "You could work modeling in with your prospective career in radio and television," I told her. "Why not try it?" "I'd like to," she replied. "I think it's fascinating work. But it's going to have to wait. Right now, college comes first." First Miss Somebody Wins Honors What happens to a Miss Somebody? In the case of Family Weekly's first "unknmvn" cover girl, a lot!
