Hound-Up Beauty Queen
Pendleton, Aug. 3 Riding in the Indian section of the Pendleton
Round-Up parades Sept. 12, 13, 14, and 15 will be lovely Delores
Stevens, winner of the 1944 American Beauty contest at the
Pendleton show.
Only at the Round-Up is such t contest held; it's for full
blood Indian girls, real American beauties, and one of the rules
is that the winner may be queen only once. So Delores will not
be in competition this year but will be accorded special honors as
1944 queen. The contest is a feature of Friday's show, when scores
of Indian beauties ride before the grandstands for the approval of
the judges. Contestants are judged not only for personal beauty,
but for the splendor of their costumes and the elaborate trappings
of their horses.
