Description:
B&W photo of the winner of the Bathing Beauty Contest holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing a floral tiara standing with six other people: (L to R) a short stocky man in a suit with hands on his hips in front of a microphone stands to the left of the "queen;" a smiling man in a sombrero, Hawaiian shorts and white t-shirt stands on tiptoes to her right, looking towards the other 4 females on the outdoor stage; a woman in a belted, below the knee dress with bolero has her hand to her sunglasses; the smiling woman beside her is also in a midi-length dress and has her hands together in front of her. Her dark hair is shoulder length with a fancy barrett holding it in place; the next woman is a short-haired Marilyn Monroe-type blonde in a black bathing suit and is facing the audience. The final woman wearing a light colored one-piece bathing suit has dark medium-length hair and on her wrist is a heart-shaped paper bracelet with a number 4 on it. The stage is outdoors behind a long L-shaped building with a view of the hills in the background
