BEAUTY CONTEST COMES TO
REHOBOTH
WASHINGTON EVENING STAR,
JUNE 4, 1961.
Friday and Saturday, June
9th and 10th, Rehoboth Beach will host a
pageant to select a Miss Delaware entry for the “1961 Miss Universe
Contest”.
The Delaware lass chosen
Saturday to represent the First State will win an all expense paid
trip to Miami to compete for
the U.S. A. title in preliminaries to the bigger Miss Universe
contest.
Miss Shyrl Jones of
Wilmington's modeling and charm school has been instrumental in
bringing Rehoboth back into the beauty pageant picture. She had a
meeting with Mayor Clarence Lynch and Chamber of Commerce President
Harry Zerby the past spring and pointed out the Rehoboth Beach is the
only logical place to hold a beauty contest in Delaware. Being the
gentlemen they are, both naturally agreed.
Young ladies between the
age of 18 and 28, never married, are eligible for the Delaware
preliminaries. Beauty, poise and personality are the chief
qualifications as there are no talent
contest involved.
The finals will be held on
the Boardwalk at the east end of Rehoboth Avenue.
