FOREST PARK, GEORGIA, TUESDAY,
Miss Clayton Co. Contest Set for April 3,
Winner to Receive Valuable Scholarship
Queen Going
To Georgia
Competition
Local beauties are being
sought for the Miss Clayton
County Beauty Pageant to be
held in Jonesboro, April 3,
according to Bill Roberts,
chairman of the entries com
mittee.
The contest will be held at- the
Junior High school gymnasium.
Roberts has requested every
Clayton county resident who
knows a personable, beauteous
and talented young lady to sug
gest her name to his group as a
possible contestant in the local
pageant.
Winner will receive a valuable
scholarship to the college of her
choice. She will also qualify for
the Miss Georgia Contest to be
held in Columbus in June. The
beauty crowned there will re
ceive a SI,OOO scholarship and
compete in Atlantic City for the
1965 Miss America Crown and
the SIO,OOO first prize scholar
ship.
Local committee members will
interview each young lady sug
gested for a place among the
group of the Miss Clayton Coun
ty contestants for the finals
April 3.
To be eligible the contestant
must be between 18 and 28 years
of age by September 1. She must
be a high school graduate and
must never have been married.
She must possess talent, either
trained or potential, which in
cludes playing a musical instru
ment, dramatics, dress designing,
singing or any of the fine arts.
Those who wish to pursue a
professional career, such as
nursing, may present a three
minute talk on her reasons for
selecting such a career or on
her training to date and her aims
in that profession.
Entry blanks may be obtained
by calling Bill Roberts at 478-
8313 or Ed Henry at 478-7536.
Roberts said last week that
Clayton County girls considering
the advantages offered to win
ners of preliminary Miss America
contests might recall that Miss
New Jersey of 1958, Sally Sue
Hartman, captured her state
title and a SI,OOO scholarship by
giving a three-minute talk on the
sacred duty of Americans to vote.
At Atlantic City the following
September she won an additional
SSOO special scholarship because
of the timeliness of her subject
in the opinion of the Miss Amer
ica judges.
So, says Mr. Roberts, potential
candidates should not feel that
they are “untalented” if they
are not especially trained in
music, dramatics or such.
