Atlantic Citv Story
By Mrs. Wilton Jackson
We feel like we were gone a month because of all we packed
in while on our trip to Atlantic City, and it was only ten days. We
flew back to Philadelphia on Saturday . September 1 sn the same
flight with Sharon Davis, Miss Idaho. She is a most charming per
son, and during the following week, she and Nancy became good
friends. We met Nancy in Philadelphia, then she went on t At
lantic City by limousine, a60-mile trip. Sunday and Monday were
spent registering and having pictures taken by the press.
Then Monday night they started rehearsals on the stage for
the production number that all the girls, USO troops and the
cast were in. From then on it was a real work schedule for the
girls.
They got up at six each morning, spent the entire day at the Con
vention Center, returning each evening in time to dress for
dinner. Each hotel houses several girls, and the girls are ex
pected to eat in the dinning room each night all dolled up.
Then they dash to their rooms to get ready for the night’s
events.
We were allowed to wait in the lobby each evening for her
to come down w ith her ‘‘live in” hostess from Seaside, and while
she waited for her Atlantic City hostess topick her up, we could
visit with her.
Tuesday night was the illuminated night parade on the board
walk. It was really beautiful. The boardwalk is just that-a very
wide sidewalk made of boards, running in front of the ornate
old fashioned hotels and shops, separating them from the beach
twelve miles long. Bleachers, chairs, old fashioned w icker carts,
etc. are set up the entire length and seats are sold for that night.
The parade was two and one-half hours long, many bands and
beautiful floats. The contestants ride in convertibles with spot
lights shining on them from the windshield of their cars.
Nancy looked sparkling in a soft blue chiffon formal with rhine
stones. Since last year’s Miss America, Terry Anne Meeuwsen,
had been so ill, she was not allowed to ride on her float. In her
place were several dozen long stem red roses, and the girls
that had been contestants last year, and had just returned from
USO tours rode on her float.
Sandi Herring, last year’s Miss Oregon was one of these, and
she is so cute to watch when she performs.
Wednesday started the preliminary competitions. The state
representatives’ are divided into three groups called the
Mu, Alpha and Sigma. The three words together form the
official name of the sorority of all national Mis» America
Representatives.
Nancy’s group was to appear in evening
gowns the first night, so their interview with the panel of judges
was that afternoon. They spent seven-minutes apiece with the
judges asking them questions. Their scores on the interviews
are tallied in with the formal gown competition and are not
announced.
For the first three nights of judging, the points are divided
with 50“v for talent, and 25 each for swimsuit and formal. Then
the final night, all the points are thrown out, the top ten com
pete all over again, and the judging changes! ■> one-third for each
category. The day they compete in talent, is the only time they
practice on stage, and they are allowed only fifteen minutes
of practice.
After each nights program, the whole Oregon delegation would
dash back to the hotel (we were all staying in the same hotel
she was) in time to gTeet her as she returned, and being the
cut up she is, while telling us of little happenings during the
show she would have us all in stitches. Nancy never got up
stairs before mictiight, and still had her hair to wash, set,
and sleep under the dryer to be ready for the 6 a.m. call
the next day.
In the meant.me, the parents were well entertained. We went
to Captain Sterns restaurant for lunch and talks by Terry

Anne’s parents. It was such fun meeting other parents, and
we found they felt just like we did. That each of the 50 girls
were so beautiful, they were glad they dicki’t have to be judges
After lunch we were taken on a boat ride around the area.
Thursday we were given a behind the scenes look at con
vention hall. Saw the dressing rooms for the girls, the largest
stage in the U. S., walked the ramp, and were given a show
the hostesses had worked up to show the girls Saturday night
before they went on TV. They are really hams.
Later that day was a garden reception for us at the Marl
borough-Blenheim Hotel. Terry Anne was to be our hostess,
but in her place was Phyllis George. Miss America of 1971.
She is a lovely girl, and had taken over Terry’s (fencing on
stage and other committments to save her strength.
Friday we all went to a luncheon at Haddon Hall. During the
year Terry had taken six other girls to Korea. Okinawa for a
three-weeks USO tour. Sandi Herring was with this group.
Donnie Dorn, the first runner up from last year took six
others for 49 days to Europe Azores. Allot these girls were con
testants last year. So after the luncheon, the two troops com
bined and did their sbow for us. They were terrific. Wish you
could have seen more of them on TV.
Saturday we were taken on buses to Smithville, a histone old
town, where we had lunch. We were seated at a table with Miss
Hawaii’s mother and a friend of hers when she was told her
daughter had been chosen by the other girls as Miss Con
geniality.
Mrs. Kaumeheiwa said in such a sweet voice “Oh
how nice,” while her friend burst into tears.
That evening should have been the big night to wish our
girls well before the performance, but due to picketing firemen
around the convention hall, the girls and the entire cast were
confined inside the hall for 16 hours. All they could see out
the barred windows were hoards of policemen. It was a very
unusual day and a mighty long one.
The night’s performance started at 8:30 with the proWctthn
number, then the girK* were taken backstage until . the
— «L .
broadcast at ten. We had other entertainment on stage tmiil
the TV time. After the show, the girls were escorted into the
ball room upstairs in convention hall for a ball that lasted
until 3:30 a.m The room was beautiful with flowers on every
table and candles.
Wilton had the first dance with his daughter, and «as a
mighty proud parent. She had really put her heart into all the
competition, did a beautiful job, and «as known by all the hos-
tesses and those that worked with her as a very sweetgirl.
The next morning at 10-30, we joined all the girls at an awards
brunch where trophies were given out and scholarships were pre
sented. Each ooe of the girls were given a $500 scholarship.
The week was a thrill of a lifetime for all of us.
Nancy has returned now to Seaside, and will spend this year
being our state’s personal hostess. As yet she doesn’t know
where she will live, she has no decision in this. She will be
making public appearances all over the state and has had a
business manager appointed to schedule these. One thing she
does know for sure, is that on the 15th of October, she will
fly to Hawaii and tour the Islands until November 1. There is
also some talk of a cruise to Mexico in November, but details
aren’t worked out for that as yet.

LETTER TO
EDITOR
Editor, The Journal
To all the people of Malheur
County:
Twenty-five years ago Wiltrm
and I moved to Nyssa, and
never has a day gone by that
we haven’t been thankful for that
move. This past month is just
one example of why we love it
here.
You have all been so
wonderful to our daughter and
to us. Nancy had 27 bouquets of
flowers at her hotel, and more
than that number of telegrams,
letters and cards m Atlanta
City. I’m sure the one that
thrilled her the most was from
the County Court telling her
pageant Saturday was Nancy
Jackson day in Malheur County.
But the flowers and telegrams
from the Nyssa and Cfetario
Chambers of Commerce plus
those from her friends and ours
meant so much to us all.
The luncheons at both cities
the last time she was home
showed her how much you all
care. And what a thrill to drive
into Nyssa and see the signs
proclaiming “Home of 1973
Miss Oregon,” and to actually
know someone who has tx-en
presented with a key to their
city! I’ll never forget the beau
tiful Invocation at the Nyssa
luncheon asking God to guide
this girl this year. She needs
your prayers now more than
ever.
You have all been so »on-
derful to her and she is feel-
ing she has let you down by
not walking away with one of
The- awards in Atlantic City,
But if you could have seen the
gracious way she handled her
self, and how she put tier whole
heart into everything she did,
you would agree with us in know
ing we were well repre sented.
Thank you, each and every rtnf
from
Nancy and tier entire
family.
—Mrs. Wilton .'a kson
