Among Finalists,
"Miss Austin" Contest
from The Malakoff News
Friday June 24, 1955
"The Lignite City" is represented among the finalists
in the current contest at the Capitol City which will select
"Miss Austin for 1955," in the person of Miss Patricia
Humphries, charming daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Clyde Humphries.
"Pat," as she is affectionately known here, was one of
the four university of Texas co-eds, who walked away with four of
the top five places in the preliminaries.
The contestants were judged on poise, personality, individual
talents, and general appearance. The wee first modeled in evening
dresses for personal interviews, and later in bathing suits.
Judges were members of the Board of Directors of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the contest.
For the talent part of the judging, Miss Humphries played a piano
medley. A University sophomore from Malakoff, Pat was in the Most
Beautiful Freshman contest and is a member of Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority.
Miss Austin will be chosen June 29th at the Paramount Theatre and
the finalist will be sent to the Miss Texas contest. She will
also receive a trip to Mexico to see the bull fights at Villa
Acuna and many other prizes to be presented by Austin's business
firms.
