Marilyn Meseke
Marion, OH
— Miss America 1938 —
With the mother managing the interview in the way that has become customary with Miss America, it developed that Marilyn has plenty of boy friends, but no favorite, and has made no plans nor dreams ahead toward marriage and children. But she can cook....The mother proudly related that Marilyn has 200 dance students and 'the job keeps her busy from 9 in the morning to 10 at night.'"
