Maye Wilkinson Will Represent Kenly at Beauty Queen's Contest in Kinston, April 8, 1924

Miss Kenly at the Exposition

Johnston County will have at least one representative in the Beauty Queen’s Contest at the Eastern Carolina Exposition to be held in Kinston, April 7 to 12, Miss Maye Wilkinson of Kenly having been selected to represent that city.

Miss Wilkinson, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.C. Wilkinson, is a young woman of rare charms. She is a decided blond, of the Colonial type of beauty, and as modest and graceful as the girls in the day of our grandmothers. She was educated at St. Mary’s school, Raleigh, and at Greensboro College for Women. She has many friends in Eastern Carolina who will watch with interest her part in the Beauty Contest.
