Helen Wilson, Junior Chamber of Commerce (Stuart Jaycees)

Published in the Stuart News (3 March 1949) with the rubric "Ten Girls Competing for 'Miss Music of 1949' in Band Drive." Sponsored by the Stuart Jaycee-Ettes, the Miss Music contest (c. 1949-1950) included young women, each sponsored by a local organization or business, who raised funds for the benefit of the Martin County High School band's spring trip to a state contest. The public "voted" by donating a penny for each vote.
