Show some free publicity in the newspapers, and then discovered that all the pul- chritudinous talent had been signed up by other organizations? It's not that. we're against the tradition of naming queens and pa¬rading beautiful damsels before or-ganizations and press cameras so that all the world—the masculine half, that is—can admire. Believe us, this business of select¬ing queens is a great American insti¬tution, and it can't start too young or extend too far to suit us. But what worried us was: Would the supply of queen candidates run out before the newspapers run out of space and engraving budgets? If you have been companions with us in this morbid conjecture, please forget it. Right now, in spite of the fact that some 16,999Vi queens were chosen in the Mountain West alone in 1949, there are still plenty of gor¬geous creatures available who haven't been chosen queen of anything! This optimistic information was divulged in a photographic survey conducted by the Magazine at Weber College. Staff Photographer Ray Jones was dispatched to Ogden with orders to shoot on sight—with his camera, of course— any pretty girl he could find who wasn't an organ¬izational or beauty queen. Jones, who would much rather photograph picturesque barns and trees than beautiful girjs, thought he had a cinch, but soon found himself snowed under with prospects at the Weber campus. A morning of this very pleasant recreation, which Mr. Jones regards as hard physical labor, resulted in this photographic sampling of our re¬latively untapped pulchritude poten¬tial, which we generously share with our male readers. The experiment convinced the Magazine staff that there are plenty of beautiful girls for all the corona-tions that can be dreamed up, and that Weber College is a likely stomp¬ing ground for Hollywood talent scouts.
