Beauty Pageant 'UA thing of beauty is a joy forever. Thus sang the poet, and thus thought the ergpectant audience on November 1, 1934 at the most magnificent display of beauty ever seen at one time in Bridgewater. Lilting music! Gorgeously gowned girls! Hearts beating high! An expectant hush! Then wild applause as the favorites turned on their charm for the benefit of the judges and their friends in the audience. These thirty charming girls were vieing with each other for the title of Miss Bridgewater. Chosen as sponsors of the various business enterprises and clubs in town,.'each was 'doing her'best to show her sponsor that his choice was good. Of this number, those chosen from the high school were: Jean Leatherman, LaRue Huffman, Marieta Sanger, Mabel Chumbley, Henryetta Heltzel, Frances Shull, Ethel Miller, Edythe Devier, Lucille Thacker, Alice Miller, Ruby Huffman, Mildred Cromer, Mercedes Allen, Mary K. Bradburne, Mary Lee Whitesell, Carolyn Gilkerson, Mary Elizabeth Miller, Margaret Shaffer, Charlena Layman, and Frances XVl1itesell. Personality, dignity, and natural beauty were the points by which the winner was chosen. Short vaudeville skits served to entertain the audience while the judges bit their pencils and debated upon the eliminations. The air seemed charged with electricity and pent-up emotions as the last two girls, Mercedes Allen and Frances Whitesell came back for the final decision of the judges. Then Mr. Suter took the beautiful loving cup and everyone in the auditorium moved to the edge of his seat-a death-like hush hung over all. Finally the words . . . pre- sent this cup to 'Miss Bridgewater', and Frances Whitesell received the cup and the title Miss Bridgewaterf' Applause! sighs! relaxation! and the first Beauty Pageant ever staged in Bridgewater came to an end. Fall Carnival People milling about everywhere, the air filled with the sound of -horns blowing, the shouts of barkers advertising their shows, the almost inhuman cries of the wild man of Borneo, the joyous laughter of happy peopleg confetti flying everywhere-such was the high school gymnasium on the night of November 23. The carnival was one of 'the outstanding events of the year. It was an all-around evening of merry-making and fun starting off with the following program: - , Autum Pageant ..........,........................,,................... .........
