Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated April 13, 1962 partially reads, "Staying away from the movies, adopting a child and cutting a college class all played a part in winning the first, second and third prizes in the second annual Valley Times TODAY Academy Awards Sweepstakes Contest. A woman who has yet to see the Best Picture of 1961 - or ANY of the Oscar nominees, for that matter - was the grand prize winner. 'I do feel a little embarrassed about not having seen them,' said Mrs. Mabel Mohler of Panorama City. 'But I read so much about them all that I feel as though I've seen them.'"
