Miss Phipps won this contest from a large field of contestants from every section of the state, and after she finishes her term of school this week, she will make preparations for an extended tour of the eastern states as the Red Headed Beauty Queen of West Virginia. ... After her tour east, she will re-enter Fairmont Normal school to complete her summer school work."
