Photograph caption dated March 23, 1962 reads "A Sherman Oaks girl, Diane Cletro, second from left, is the only Valley contestant in the fund-raising campaign for the Angel View Cripple Children's Foundation in Desert Hot Springs. Seen here with a Palm Springs contestant, Glenda Brown, second from right, and the Lennon sisters (from left, Janet, Peggy and Kathy), Diane is vying for the title of 'Teen Angel of the Year.' Money the girls collect for the foundation acts as a 'penny a vote' and the winner will be named at an April 13 ball at the Palm Springs Riviera Hotel. The Lennons, honorary chairwomen of the the (sic) campaign, will appear at the ball honoring all the girls raising money for the crippled children."
