Subject: 90th anniversary remembered


Last night, marked the 90th year anniversary of the 1933 Miss America pageant that was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday, September 9, 1933 (the date landed on a Saturday as it did this year, exactly nine decades later).

Competing as Miss Wisconsin was petite brunette Marie Marguerite Huebner, who 14 days shy of turning 20 years old.

The Portage, Wisconsin clothing store clerk placed among the pageant's 18 semi-finalists, while the youngest entrant, Miss Connecticut, Marian Rita Bergeron, 15, of West Haven, Connecticut was named Miss America 1933 (and she remains as the only New England entrant to win the Miss America pageant to this date).

Marie won the state crown on August 18, 1933 in Cambridge, technically in the Town of Oakland. The pageant was the first and only time the Miss Wisconsin pageant was held in a park on the shores of a lake, and the first and only time Jefferson County hosted the state Miss America qualifier. And Marie, at 5'4" remains as one of the shortest winners of the Miss Wisconsin title. She died on February 15, 2007, at age 93.

So, in memory of this state's second Miss Wisconsin (Marie Huebner) (the first Miss Wisconsin was in 1927) and all of the contestants in the 1933 Miss America pageant, happy 90th anniversary!!
