Homecoming Queen Doesn't Need Her Mother's Vitamin Pills
After Ada Hatfield reigned as Homecoming queen Saturday, her father was a nervous wreck and her mother supplied her with vitamin pills, but she didn't need the pills.
"It seems like a dream — what happened Saturday. I don't feel any different." Ada said.
The blue-eyed brunette is majoring in elementary education and plans to graduate from K.U. in three
years by including summer sessions. She enrolled at the University in June 1949, right after her graduation from Valley Falls High school.
MISS ADA HATFIELD
Ada would like to teach the sixth grade and eventually go into elementary school administration. She
was on the dean's honor roll the past two semesters and has maintained a 2.5 grade average through her two semesters and two summer sessions at the University.
The candidates did not know which of the three was to be queen until the decision was announced on the public address during half-time ceremonies. Ada said that her selection came as quite a surprise. Lt. Gov. Frank Hagaman of Kansas presented her with the bouquet of red roses.
"Naturally, I'm thrilled and think it was quite an honor." Ada said. "I'd like to thank Mr. Powell, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Beth for the courses they extended to the candidates. And the way they conducted the contest was just grand," the 5 foot, 6 inch, queen said.
"I enjoyed the afternoon tea tea Sunday, and the dinner with the judges. Our appearance on Thursday's TV program was thrilling because I'd never even been inside a radio station."
This summer Ada placed in a bathing beauty contest during an aquacade in Atchison. Candidates from Missouri and Kansas competed for the title of "prettiest girl in two states." An Atchison Globe correspondent chose Ada to represent Valley Falls in the contest.
Ada is assistant social chairman for Delta Gamma social sorority. She is a member of the group's volleyball and softball teams and recently joined the K.U. Rifle club.
Scanty Purse Makes Better Dressed Women; Causes Them To Think, Says Dress Designer
New York—(U.P.)-The high cost of living may be a blow to the budget, but it can be a big boost toward making American women better dressed, said Charles James, a custom dress designer.
"Women, as a whole, were never as well-dressed as they were during the depression," he said. "They couldn't afford to buy so many clothes, so they were forced to think. They had to keep changing what they had until finally it suited their individual personalities."
This comes from a man who sells a simple afternoon dress for $675 and up. His customers include people like Mrs. William Paley and Mrs. Harrison Williams, both regularly included on lists of the 10 best dressed women.
"Women today seem to have gone out of the business of self-questioning." Mr. James said. "They don't find out what dish they cook best or what type of dress suits them best. They are not fashion conscious. They are snofl conscious. Their clothes only reflect the thoughts of others.
"In the old days (which he considers about a century back) I would say 30 to 40 per cent of the feminine population would look in the mirror very carefully before putting a bow in their hair. Now," Mr. James sighed, "I would say all but about 10 per cent of the women are interested in levis and play clothes."
The dress designer is not particularly optimistic about the prospects of improvement unless taxes and expensive roast beef force women to trim even more corners from their clothing budgets.
Some of his original designs will be copied shortly in the budget bracket, as are designs from Paris creators.
"The clothes are available at low cost if women will just spend time picking them," Mr. James said. "We could have the best dressed population in the world. But women must begin thinking of the needs of their life and the needs of their men."
