Gloria Schiffer as Miss Hillsboro

Description

Gloria Schiffer, a resident of Hillsboro, after winning the Miss Hillsboro contest circa 1949. She wears a two-piece Jantzen swimsuit, white high-heeled shoes, and a sash reading 'Miss Hillsboro' draped over her right shoulder and down to her left hip. The Museum's records do not include the woman's name, but her children identified her as being Gloria Schiffer and provided the date as around 1949; she married Don Trachsel in 1950. This image was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected other images of daily life in the area.
