Title

Melodie Johnson at the Concours d'Elegance

Description

Pacific University student Melodie Johnson posing in costume on the running board of an antique car. She is wearing clothes from the "Gay 90s" annual city celebration, while the car is from the annual "Concours d'Elegance" classic car competition. This photograph was likely taken in 1973 to promote the car show. It was posed at the western entrance to campus at the intersection of 21st Avenue and College Way. Scott Library and Marsh Hall are visible in the background.
This photograph was identified in an issue of the university's alumni magazine: "Forest Grove Gay 90s Belle, Melodie Johnson, and a 1909 Buick owned by 'Gib' Paterson of Forest Grove, represent only two of the many delightful sights which may be viewed during the Concours d'Elegance." (Pacific Today Campus Newsletter Edition, June 1973)
