Miss Beaufort
(continued from page one)
wore a baby blue taffeta evening
gown with net over-skirt.
As her talent, she explained that
because it has been so difficult for
her to get the clothes she likes
(she's just 5 feet 10 inches tall),
she designs her own dresses and
makes them.
Using an easel, chalk pencil and
paper she sketched several designs
and modeled a duster and street
dress she made. Ter evening gown
was also one of her own creations.
After a 6:30 breakfast Saturday
morning the girls hied themselves
off to the high school for more
rehearsals and then came the pa
rade at 11 o'clock through down
town Burlington.
Walker, Beaufort's chamber of
commerce manager, was to call for
Carroll Ann at the school after
the rehearsal. She was waiting
in front of the school, but he stop
ped at a side door. When he went
inside to see where Miss Beaufort
was keeping herself, he was told
she had left.
With her watch three-quarters of
an hour slow, Carroll Ann calmly
waited in front of the school. Her
reveries were shattered suddenly
by the wail of a police car and she
looked up to find the chief of po
lice of the city of Burlington, ac
companied by Walker, bearing
down on her.
"Come on ,get in here," scream
ed Dan, "they're waiting for you,
the parade's ready to start!" Thus
Miss Beaufort got to the parade
in time with the aid of squalling
siren.
I '' "Tttt girls rode in their official
ears, with a label on each side say- 1
ing which town they represented.
Miss Beaufort's car. draped in a
fish net, was the only one with any
type of decoration.
Saturday afternoon was spent at
the Eva Parker amusement park
where photographers had a field
day. "I never saw so many photog
raphers ii> all my life," declared
Lois. "They were all over the place
and it seemed as though we had to
pose for a picture every minute!"
In spite of rain Thursday night,
the rest of the weekend gave forth
only with sun. "It was so hot we
could hardly stand it," Lois re
marked. "At the pageant Saturday
night, when backstage every time
we opened our mouth a Jaycee fed
us a glass of ice water, they were
around fanning us like mad, three
girls fainted, and one dropped
out."
Prior to the final event, group B
appeared in evening gowns at the
school Saturday afternoon and pre
sented their skits. Miss Morehead
City's gown was a strapless white
nylon net over satin. She sang
"I Surrender, Dear." Her bathing
suit was strapless, forest green.
Saturday night's program was
broadcast over 18 radio stations.
"We were so thrilled when they
called out our names among the
16," declared Lois. "They called
them alphabetically, and 1 was
pleased to hear 'Miss Beaufort,"
because I knew then that Carteret
county had done all right, but when
I heard 'Miss Morehead City,' I was
so happy I simply couldn't believe
it."
As semi-finalists Carroll Ann and
Lois again had to go through the
bathing suit and talent routine in
addition to all the turning and
walking in evening gown.
Finally, the winners were an
nounced, Lulong Ogburn of Smith
field, is Miss North Carolina, and
runnera-up are Shirley Jean Smith,
Hickory; Dolly Rayfield, Charlotte;
Pearl R. Winner, Wilmington; and
Barbara Lou Collins, Leaksville.
At the country club following the
pageant. Mis? Beaufort was -hostess
at a shrimp cocktail party. Thirty
pounds of Beaufort shrimp were
served from an iced sterling silver
bowl.
Lois is a graduate of Morehead
City high school, class of 1950 and
Carroll Ann is a graduate of Beau
for high school, class of 1951.

all exhausted. We couldn't keep at
it any longer.
"The people came from all over
the county and from Havelock.
Hundreds of them had THE NEWS

Good merchandise at the right
