Junior Bowl Queen Is Crowned

A PAIR OF PRINCESSES are these two Southwest area girls, Joan Bassett (left) and Barbara Burney. The girls were awarded royal honors last Saturday in the Junior Orange Bowl contest at the Coral Gables Youth Center. Joan, 7605 SW 71st Ave., and Barbara, 1354 SW 12th St., began their reign at the Junior Orange Bowl football game at 8 p.m., Dec. 28, at the Coral Gables Stadium. The parade is set for 2:30 p.m., Dec. 29, and will wind its way thorough the Gables. Football Game, Parade Are Youth Highlights By EDWIN KNIGHT Robin Lee Krug, a brown-haired, brown-eyed beauty who loves animals and winning queen contests, was named the ninth annual Junior Orange Bowl Queen Saturday afternoon, Dec. 17, at Coral Gables Youth Center. She was chosen from among 83 finalists and a total of 771 young misses who competed in earlier eliminations for the coveted title. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Krug, 19002 NW 7th Ct., and a student at Norland Junior High School. Wonderful Thing "This is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me," Robin said after being announced as winner. She immediately sobbed. Two princesses who will accompany Robin in all Junior Orange Bowl activities were chosen at the same time. They are Joan Bassett, 7605 SW 71st Ave., a South Miami Junior High School student, and Barbara Lynn Burney, 1354 SW 12th St., a student at Shenandoah Junior High School. Watching the round upon round of eliminations at the Youth Center Saturday afternoon were parents, friends of the contestants and eliminated competitors. Robin was crowned queen by last year's Miss Junior Orange Bowl, Jean Dunlap, daughter of Miami Postmaster Eugene Dunlap. The new queen (she and the princesses are just 13 years of age) wants to be a veterinarian. She has a dog and rabbit and longs for more pets. The girls were chosen according to personality, poise and general apearance as they walked across the youth center stage. Those wearing high heels and makeup were promptly eliminated. The judges, known only to Youth Center officials prior to the judging, included Byron Nelson, of University Federal Savings and Loan Association; Mrs. Owen Bowser, a Coral Gables housewife; John Partin, of Southern Bell Telephone Co.; Eleanor Gumby, of Jordon Marsh, and Nancy Brown, of Coronet Charm School. With the judging of the queen and her court, the nation's largest youth festival, the Junior Orange Bowl Pageant, gets under way. The festivities will include a pint-size football game, the largest all-youth parade in the country, a service - to - youth banquet at Coral Gables Country Club and an invitation-only queen's ball at the youth center. Next on the schedule of events for the still-happy queen and her court was the Junior Orange Bowl football game which will be played at 8 p.m. played at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 28, at Coral Gables Stadium, Coral Way at SW 74th Ave. Playing in the game were the 115 lb. champions of the Inter-City Athletic Conference and the winner in the Ft. Lauderdale Boys Athletic League. Thursday, Dec. 29, is the big one for the queen. She will be the big attraction in what is slated to be the city's biggest parade. Prior to the parade will be the service-to-youth luncheon. That evening will be the queen's ball. The parade will step off at 2 p.m. and wind its way south along Ponce de Leon Blvd. to Miracle Mile, west on Miracle Mile to Biltmore Way and southwest on Biltmore Way to a disbanding point. Some 100,000 children and parents are expected to line the parade route to cheer numerous bands and scores of marching youngsters. The queen and her court will appear in the giant King Orange Jamboree parade on New Year's Eve in downtown Miami.

Public Invited To Attend Youth Luncheon

A limited number of tickets to the Service-to-Youth Award Luncheon has been made available to the general public. These are now on sale at $2.50 each at the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. The luncheon, to be held at the Coral Gables Country Club on Dec. 29, will honor Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker as the first recipient of the Junior Orange Bowl award for outstanding service or inspiration to the youth of America. Some 450 civic leaders and their children are expected to attend. A feature of the program will be several selections by the Junior Orange Bowl Chorale, a chorus of young voices directed by Norman Clayton. Among those present to greet the distinguished guest will be the newly chosen Queen of Youthland, Robin Lee Krug, who will present Captain Eddie with a plaque symbolic of the honor. Following the luncheon, Captain Rickenbacker will join civic officials in the reviewing stand to witness the 12th annual Junior Orange Bowl Parade. The Service-to-Youth Award will be made an annual presentation by the Junior Orange Bowl Committee to a leader of national stature who has been notable in some facet of service to youth.

Woman Injured When Car Hits Brick Wall

A 43-year-old Southwest section woman was injured the afternoon of Dec. 15 when her car smashed into a brick wall at The University Court Motel after colliding with another vehicle at the intersection of South Dixie Hwy. and South Alhambra Cir. The victim, Mary Porter W. Simonds, of 1200 SW 73rd Ave., was treated at the scene by the Fire Department emergency crew and later at Doctors' Hospital. Her car was heading in a southeasterly direction when it collided with a car bound southwest on South Dixie Hwy. and driven by Water G. Moyers, 20, of 812 Valencia. Approximately 30 bricks were knocked out of the motel wall by the car which sustained an estimated $600 damage. Moyers' car, less damaged, suffered $150 damage. The woman driver was charged with failing to yield the right of way causing an accident.
