Eli For my part. beauty contests are one feature of our society which I would like to see abolished. What extctly do they prove? Only that the girls " whasrinaithe2hrm mum girls ttmn meg,» who ' entered-in the opinion of the judges.

Three girls in this year’s contest were miniskirts I and it was a sad mistake. I think beauty contests are one i, place where miniskirts can be Worn. but none of these i girls should have worn a miniskirt on any occasion. Two 's. of them walked badly (shoulders stooped. feet dragging) i which you ean't afford in a miniskirt. and the other girl ' wore a. miniskirt shaped like a tent-it was an enormous I my: thing that billowed around her thighs and spoiled her chances as far as the male judges were concerned.

Well, we sneaked away from the dance as soon as we could (personally, I was a bit hurt because nobody begged us to stay) and went home with our friend, the editor, for an hour of intellectual refreshment (e.g. we drank beer and argued about the town's sewage problgna.) - -_-_ _ _ -- ”no u. w w - 'V v... m“, _..New_.

The newspaper editor (his first ,time in the hot seat) says, "No. I's a pretty kid."

Someone will have to compromise if we're not going to be here an night.

We gave number 1 and 5 to the organizer who messed them on to the band-leader and he must have n thinking of something else, because he announced the runner-up " No. 2, although he quickly corrected himself, but the damage was done. I could see No. 2's lips trembling. though ghe continued to smile gallantly. I went down the line and spoke to all the girls, hoping to cheer them up and pinning on corsages as I went. This year, for the first time, all the girls received n comm, which was a good idea. I got one, too, as one of the contestants dropped out at the last minute and they had one over. up at " non.

Another pretty ttire-a brunette-wore black-this was a mistake, too. At 16 she was too young to wear black and it spoiled her chances.

This is why men don't always make good judges--- they're too vulnerable; one contestant may appeal to them sexually or remind them of their first girl friend who had freckles.
