South Carolina Girl Is Miss America Marion McKnight Is Crowned Saturday « ATLANTIC CITY. N.J. (UP) — The new Miss America, blonde Marian Ann McKnight of South Carolina, beat the "smart guys” to the draw in her (irst meeting with the press corps. The five-foot five - inch beauty hanuled herself so well during her first news conference that she came up a winner although she' won none of the honors in the preliminary judging during a hectic week of the Miss A pegeant. The pretty queen from Manning, S.C., opened up her own conference before the reporters had a chance to wag a tongue. "I'm still numb,” she said. “When Lenore Slaughter pinned the Miss America ribbon on me. she stucK me right hard. I was numb. 1 guess and I didn't even feel it.” Marian, d 19-year-old college junior, starts her new duties today in New York. She is scheduled to appear on three television shows on different networks and to hold a* news conference. From there she starts a 100,000 mile tour of personal appearances in several states and two trips to places like London, Rome, Paris, and Sicily The tour is expected to net her at least $50,000. Her year-long reign as Miss (America of 1957 includes a ban on marriage. Marian (35-23-35), is in love, of course, as most teenagers are. The lucky guy is Johnny Gamling, a first lieutenant in the air force stationed at Shaw air force base, Columbia, S.C. Johnny called Marian after she won Saturday night and said: "When will I get to see you, darling.” Best answer she could give was that it will be a year or so maybe, unless she gets a coffee break to go back home. Margo Lucey, brown-haired Miss District of Columbia, came in second in the judging and Miss Alabama, 19 - year . old blonde Anne Stuart Ariail, was third. There were no announced winners beyond that point in the contest among the 50 girls. rSjOSRITAL V n Motto Admitted — Clayton Strl?fiTer?T)eraturTJoK‘n J P. Schwartz, Berne; Mrs. Marvin Brown.
