Miss Bullard was chosen to represent West Virginia University in Paramount Pictures-Radio Guide's Contest to determine the prettiest and most talented co-ed in America, and out of the 256 entrants was chosen one of the State winners. From the forty-eight semi-finalists twelve were to be chosen by popular vote of Radio Guide's readers; and the final tally found West Virginia's Homecoming Queen amoung that number.
