Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated November 2, 1963 partially reads, "It started at a slumber party when girl friends talked her into sending in an application for the 'Miss Teen-age Los Angeles' contest. Today, Muriel Dance, 16, of Northridge, returned from Dallas, Tex., where she participated in the national contest for "Miss Teen-age America." She didn't win, but she was prepared to be a good loser - even when the stakes were a $10,000 scholarship, a new automobile, a wardrobe and an all-expense-paid tour of the country."
