Jubilee Draws Largest Crowds Since Centennial Celebration

Syracuse-Wawasee Vacationland Jubilee of 1956 began its Saturday full round-the-clock events with a modest attendance and exploded into the largest celebration since the Centennial some twenty years ago according to the opinion of competent authorities here. Parade Marshall. B. Lee Fischer arranged his line-up interspersing the beauty of the Junior Queens riding in traditional state in the latest model convertables with the luxury and comedy of floats and interesting official cars. Kiddie Sack races with plenty of entrants, spills and prizes formed the second portion of the morning program along with the water ball fight between volunteer fire units from Millersburg, Benton and Syracuse. Benton won the competition and received a trophy from Syracuse Volunteer Captain, William Hess. 'Bake Sale Saturday June 16 D-X STATION Women’s Relief Corp.

Ray James, News Director of Station WOWO in Fort Wayne broad cast morning and afternoon and evening from the streets of Syracuse. In the interum he acted as master of ceremonies and introduced many of the events. Bud Smith did an act opening the afternoon’s festivities. He used recordings to which he pantomimed. Willard Gustafson, director of the Syracuse High School Band directed a concert lasting slightly more than an hour, the last two selections of which were broadcast over the Fort Wayne station. Lively Auction Such a lively auction took place that the merchandise donated by merchants and interested individuals required an hour and a half to be disposed of by auctioneer Ray Mesic, Goshen Mayor. The proceeds from the auction will go to the Band Uniform Fund. One item donated by a local automotive dealer brought top price of the afternoon—s6o. For the evening’s entertainment excitement was high and interest stimulated to a record pitch with several thousand persons gathering a full half hour before the Queens were to be brought out onto the stage. Junior Queens appeared and were presented by Jack Clark of Syracuse who took the responsibility of MCing the beauty contest. At 7:30 the Senior Queens appeared. The contestants for the title of “Miss Vacationland” were: Caroline Coil, Sandra DeGross, Martha Firestone, Vivian Fisher, Phyllis George, Freda Largen, Mary Miner, Jane Nusbaum, Freda Vorhis and Marlene Wilkerson. These ten ladies were introduced and interviewed over the air individually as the judging progressed. Final decision was reached nearly an hour after the queens had come onto the stage by the three judges, Mrs. Louise Purvis, Goshen newspaper woman, Arch Baumgartner, Milford publisher and Ray Mesic, Goshen Mayor. Crown Mary Miner Queen Miss Vacationland title went to Mary Miner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Miner, Syracuse Lake. Miss Miner was crowned with a gold and spangled crown and presented with two dozen roses as well as a fifty dollar bond and assurance that she will be sent to the Mermaid Festival later in the month sponsored by the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce. Second place went to Martha Firestone, winner of a twentyfive dollar bond. Third place was given to Vivian Fischer who was presented with ten dollars. Square Dance Holds Crowd The largest crowd to come to Syracuse in years waited for the remainder of the entertainment of the. evening. A few minutes interval between the beauty contest and the square dance was ringingly filled by The Dynamics appearing through the courtesy of the Pickwick Lounge. Then Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers returned, having presented their afternoon show immediately following the auction. It was noted that the large crowd stayed and grew as the evening progressed. Robert Byler, Chairman of the Merchant’s Committee upon whom the direct responsibility for presentation of the Jubilee fell stated
