PAGE EIGHT
State Finals for Pageant
To Include County Queen
For the second year in a row, a Miss Centre County will
be selected to represent the area in the state finals for the
Miss America Pageant.
The Bellefonte Junior Chamber of Commerce which
stages the local pageant, have been given the county fran
chise by state Miss America officials, according to Neil C.
Wiggin, chairman of the county
pageant.
This was "apparently due to the
success of last year's pageant,"
said Wiggin. He explained that in
stead of being entered in a pre
limitary contest after the local
pageant, Miss Centre County will
go directly to West Chester for
the Pennsylvania state finals.
To Receive Scholarship
The winner of the Miss Penn
sylvania Pageant will receive a
$lOOO scholarship and the right to
represent the state in the Miss
America Pageant at Atlantic City,
N.J., Sept. 2 through 8. Miss
America 1958 will receive a $5OOO
scholarship and an estimated $75,-
-000 in modeling and personal ap
pearance contracts.
Wiggin said that "the next Miss
America might very well be liv
ing right here in Centre County."
lie recalled that Centre County
came very close last year when
Patricia Reno, a former student at
the University, won the Miss Cen
tral Pennsylvania title and was
third runner-up to Miss Pennsyl
vania 1957, Lorna Mae Ringler.
Contestants Sought
The Bellefonte Jaycees, said
Wiggin, are soliciting the aid of
every organization in Centre
County to find a contestant repre
sentative of the community. He
also said. "this is a county contest
and we hope all girls throughout
the county who are interested will
look upon the pageant as more
than a beauty contest—we prefer
to call it a Pageant of Opportun
ity.:
The date of this year's pageant
will be announced later. Wiggin
said he will soon name chairmen
of the committees which will as
sist in staging the Miss Centre
County Pageant.
