IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY
Mrs. Jack (Judy) Latham is pictured on the right.
It was a memorable year for the Mrs. Nebraska contest in 1955. Springfield resident, Mrs. Jack (Judy) Latham, won the district contest to compete in the Mrs. Nebraska contest after sponsors learned that the original winner was under the age requirement of 21 years or older. Mrs. Latham along with another Springfield resident, Mrs. Orville Beck, competed with contestants from Douglas and Sarpy counties for a chance to compete at the state finals held in McCook, NE. The Mrs. Nebraska contest was a preliminary for the Mrs. America contest. The winner of the 1955 Mrs. Nebraska contest was Ramona Deitmeyer of Lincoln. She went on to become Mrs. America 1956.
