The Jubilee Princesses smile brightly at the Winthrop Hotel after the preliminary round of selection for the Jubilee Queen, held on June 26, 1939. The resulting six finalists, pictured here, were selected from a field of 26. The winner will be declared Jubilee Hostess Queen and the runner up Miss Pierce County. The remaining four princesses will reign over the four principal features of the celebration: the pageant, air show, water carnival and Mardi Gras festival, also called the "Village of Nations." The girls are, left to right, Elizabeth Johnson, Lucille Courtney, Amy Lou Murray (elected Queen), Kathleen Hurley, Margaret Franich (elected Miss Pierce County) and Venette Maybin. (T.
