I like how this yearbook just cuts to the chase: Pretty Girls. So there. It’s not open for discussion. And Sugie Smulcher signed her name for emphasis. Say that aloud. Sugie Smulcher. Rolls right off the tongue.
Other yearbooks try to be creative with their beauty queen section, like this classy illustration preceding the portraits.
Some editors refer to them as queens.

Others refer to them as “sweethearts.”

I doubt this girl’s destiny included being a farmer’s wife, but she took the title of FFA (Future Farmers of America) sweetheart. If she’s not a vision in lace, I don’t know what is.
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”–Albert Einstein
Now that’s science!



Well I don’t think Sugie has too much on that Gale Storm looking cutie Ruth Ogden. I think the FFA sweetheart; Ms Turbyfill looks kinda’ groovy with the long gloves and full length gown. She does rock that Marlo Thomas hair style pretty well. Old Al’s postulate is missing a corralary. If you want time to stand still. Marry one.

Sure. That quote from Albert Einstein you cited. I just thought it needed a third part.

I think I’m quite under-dressed to be in the presence of Ms. Turbyfill’s photo.

You are. And you probably have an aunt who had that hairdo.

I so dearly hope that the next three pages were not titled Average Girls, Homely Girls and Nice Personality, Kerbey.

Well, there was “most popular,” but we know that’s a euphemism.

At least they didn’t have a category called “Pretty Face” (which means that the body is overweight.
