Bobbie, an attractive 20 year old junior, hails from
Scotch /Plains, New Jersey. Her blue eyes, blond hair
and five foot two inch height make her an ideal candi
date for Belle Hop queen. She's majoring in home
economics and is a member of Gamma Phi Beta.
Congratulations Joan Hunter for winning the
Homecoming Queen contest! We weren't surprised in
the least. Do you remember being told during the sitting
that you'd win at least one contest before the semester
was over? You now join the ranks of many other win
ners who have had us take their portraits for contest
purposes. To further attest to your beauty, some over
anxious person broke into one of our display cases last
Friday night in an attempt to steal your portrait. He
succeeded in ruining the case and scratching the pic
ture, but perhaps in the last minute reprieve left the
portrait hanging.
. For the discriminating few who appreciate some
thing different, there are still a few openings left for
Christmas portraits. You can't give a finer gift.
