MASSILLON – Dazzling in a pinkish peach gown, Washington High School senior Mikiya Smith looked poised and confident.
Shining as brightly as the sequins that dotted her gown, no one would have any idea she fears public speaking.
The young woman shared three fears with the crowd of students, parents and school staff who had gathered in the auditorium.
Smith is among the 12 candidates vying for the prestigious title of Miss Massillonian.
On Friday, the young ladies and 12 of their classmates up for Outstanding Senior Boy took center stage in their formal wear to answer random questions for a panel of judges on their journey to earning the titles.
