Miss Menasha, 1928


 May 23, 1928, Menasha Record


May 25, 1928, Daily News-Times
Unfortunately, the hope and dreams of these young ladies and their supporters in Neenah and Menasha were dashed when Miss Janesville took the Miss Wisconsin crown, followed by runners-up from Fond du Lac and Oshkosh respectively.  But as they say, it's all in the game, and getting this far is often reward enough, not that winning it all wouldn't have been the better outcome.  Still, these representatives for the Twin Cities had their day in the sun.  Better luck next year!  (By the way, "pulchritude" is a fancy (and outdated) way of talking about how someone or something is good-looking.)
