The belle of any ball, her problem is too
A sparkling blonde from Texas
with all the warmth, charm, and
personality of the Old Southwest takes
a big stride today toward a major goal
in her life.
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

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?
