DAPHNE, Ala.—During the Daphne High School Girls Service Club’s Beauty Walk Saturday, 22 contestants competed in skits and poise following a Friday interview; all vied for top beauty recognition among their class, but only one senior would be named Queen Daphne.

And that was Maren Cross, who also won for best skit, Harry Potter.

Other prizes are as follows:
