(An excerpt from The Sacramento Bee, 1982)
Supporting herself as a dance instructor and part-time sales clerk, Andrea McElwain, 21, is a communications major at Sacramento state University. She wants to be a television news anchorwoman. "I was a starving dancer and when I got into the Miss Sacramento program, I started speaking and found out it was a talent of mine and I really enjoyed it," she says. "Actually, I'm a real ham." Mcelwain, an American River College student at the time she was crowned, won $1,300 in scholarships to help pay her expenses at Sacramento State. she says her title has been a tremendous asset in other ways, too. "I would never be able to teach if I didn't have the experience of being Miss Sacramento," she says. "That opened a lot of doors for me." She is a free-lance teacher and says the title has brought her most of her clients.
