The Vicksburg Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. named winners of the biennial Jabberwock Extravaganza during its presentation, “Remembering the King Of Pop: Showcasing Tots, Tweens and Teens.” Jabberwock, begun through the sorority as a teen development and community outreach project, is taken from “Jabberwocky,” a poem in “Alice in Wonderland.” Contestants compete for titles and crowns in three categories: Little Miss, kindergarten-grade 4; Junior Miss, grades 5-8; and Miss Jabberwock, grades 9-12.
