Miss New Hampshire and Contestants Show Appreciation
April 27, 2002
 Miss New Hampshire 2001, Katherine Pike, jokingly pouts at the pre-pageant parent/director/contestant reception because she has only hours before she crowns her successor. Katherine had a wonderful year as Miss New Hampshire promoting her platform, Extra-curricular Activities for a Positive Social Education. Katherine presented gifts to Executive Director, Suzanne Knox, Board President Brenda Keith, Field Director Lisa Cripps, and Transportation Director Harve Tancrede on behalf of herself and the contestants. Busy with preparations, the rest of the staff were presented with gifts before the show at the auditorium.
