The Beaut Bit On December 12 at seven-thirty, twenty-five Camden High girls com- peted for the title of Miss Gold and Black. lt all began back in September when each club got together and elected one girl for its representa- tive. There was much excitement as we found out who was to be in the pageant. Of course, thatwas only the beginning for the contestants. They had much work ahead of them in preparing for the pageant. Once formal dresses were made or bought there was the problem of finding the right shoes to go with them. And then there were all the pictures that had to be taken for publicity. Hairstyles were another problem, especially if it happened to rain on the night ofthe pageant. Even though the problems seemed insur- mountable, somehow they were all solved by seven-thirty December 12.
