rush and returned later to Sweden,
where he married his sweetheart.
Five children were born in Swe-
den, but the sixth and youngest,
Viola, first saw the light of day
in the promised land. After at
tending Monroe schools she STU
died music for one year at Pacific
University, Forest Grove, Oregon
and has had vocal training for
five years.
Personality Comes in Handy
Viola, who has the gracefulness,
poise and beauty of a true Lucia
bride, is now an engineering re-
ceptionist at the Boeing plant. She
operates a switchboard and pub
lie address system for about 100
engineers and is called upon to
conduct guests, usually business
representatives, on tours through
out the engineering division of the
huge plant. Undoubtedly, her per-
sonality comes in handy. Her bro
Their is working at the rival
plant in Wichita, Kansas.
Viola says she loves the Scan
dinavian folk dances. Her parents
are members of the Vasa lodge in
Monroe and she intends to become
a member of the lodge after the
new lodge building, now being con-
structed by lodge members, is
completed.
Il had a lot of fun participating
in the Lucia contest and meeting
so many nice people, says Viola.
Il am glad the Lucia idea has
been realized in Seattle and I
think the Lucia contest and festiv-
tiles is a wonderful tradition

when | was a little girl
1 used to cry because l
wasn't born in Sweden" says
21-year-old Miss Viola Peter
son, one of the leading con-
testants and finalists in this
years Lucia Bride contest in
Seattle.
Viola thought she had a good
reason to be dissatisfied about
that, for her four sisters and her
brother were all born in Sweden,
namely i'm the province of Haired
allen, as well as her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. John Peterson, of Mon
roe, Wash.
Today she's much more Ameri-
canized, but deep in her heart she
has sort of a longing for Sweden.
One of her ambitions is to visit
her relatives in the old country,
which she has heard so much about
since she was a little girl. She
is also curious to see and know
what makes Sweden such a pro-
gressive and admired country
throughout the world.
Was a Favorite
Viola, who understands Swedish
quite well, will undoubtedly visit
the land of her forefathers some
time or other, even though she
didn't get an opportunity through
the Lucia contest. In a way, she
appeared to be the favorite among
a large portion of the Swedish
population in the Northwest
Members of one Swedish society
gave her about support.
Her sister, Mrs. Elaine Johnson,
Seattle, arranged to have her par
ticipate in last years contest, dur
ing which she also made strong
showing. This year she was also
encouraged by others to enter the
contest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson have liv-
ed in Monroe for 26 years, that is,
since they arrived in this country.

Something h a S happened
out at the University Nation
al Bank in Seattle. People are
standing in line almost all
day long in front of GER
tain clerks window and some
of them don't seem to care
to do business with O t h e r
clerks, not quite so busy.
There's a reason for everything,
and everyone who reads the pa
pers and has kept an eye on the
Lucia contest and festivities re-
Gently knows this one.
Miss Norma Lenz, the pretty
girl who placed third in the Lucia
contest, is apparently big at
traction at the bank, and people
like to see her and talk to her
No doubt the boss" is mighty
pleased.
Letters of Encouragement
Norma, who is 20 years old, en-
tered the Lucia contest upon the
good advice of Norwegian friend
Her sister Betty, a University of
Washington student, signed up
too. Soon after her picture APP
peared in the papers and before
the actual voting began Norma
received a lot of mail, letters from
all sorts Of people, including sol
diers, college students, and ladies,
who gave her encouragement. One
group of college students, called
THE Courage Boys" phoned her,
saying they would work" for her.
They wanted to know if she was
"churchified and liked to smoke
and drink"
We'll, l told them I don't smoke
and l don't drink and that l go
to church, she says, adding that
she had to answer a lot of ques-
lions asked by strangers A group
of boys from Olympia wanted her
to come to the capital. where they
would show her a good time"
Crowned Lucia at Bank
Norma is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Alden LenZ, 1920 Mob
Hill Avenue. Her father is of Ger
man and her mother of Danish des-
cent. They were both born and
married in Iowa, where they had
a farm. The family moved to Sc
attic II years ago. Norma was
graduated from Queen Anne high
school in 1947 and majored in
fashion design at the University
of Washington for two years. She
is now working full time at the
University National Bank where
she was crowned the banks Lucia
bride at a party recently.
Although her mother under
stands Danish, Norma is not too
acquainted with the language, but
got an understanding of Denmark
and her Dan 5 h background
through her Danish born grand
parents in Iowa. But she hasn't
lost her Nordic touch, for nearly
all of her friends are either Scan
dinavians or of Scandinavian or
igin.
Il have met a lot of nice people
and girls through the Lucia con-
test and it has enriched my life"
says Norma.

She's Norwegian

Lorraine OlSOn
When Kenny Anderson told
19-year-old Miss Lorraine o.
son to enter this years Lucia
contest in Seattle she only
laughed.
II won't have a chance"
she said.
But Kenny didn't give in. Some
thing made him feel very optim
istic about her chances, and he
cOaxed and induced her to enter.
Kenny, a University of Washing
ton student, was irresistible not
in the least because he is LOr-
raine's boy friend.
Another factor, which apparent
made him quite hepped up about
the contest, is his apparent inter
est for Sweden, which he has Wis
tied three times. In 1886 he was
the United States delegate to a
big Boy Scout meet in that coun-
try.
Leaves For Sweden
Kenny's bunch was as good as
any, and as we all know, Lor-
raine won and was crowned Lucia
Bride Of the Pacific Northwest in
the Civic Auditorium Friday, No
vember Is. After opening the Bal
lard Scandinavian Christmas fes-
tival in Ballard Friday, December
2, she will leave by a Scandina-
Wan Airlines System plane for
New York, where she will COM
pete against four other Lucia
brides from Boston, New York,
Chicago and Minneapolis for the
title of United States Lucia Bride.
All five girls will leave there
after for Sweden, where they will
be very honored guests at num-
Der of festivities in the homeland
of the smorgasbord. They will re-
turn before Christmas with Swe-
denis national Lucia bride, who
will make appearances in num-
Der of cities over here, including
Seattle.
Lorraine, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry H. Olson, of Chehalis,
Washington, is a third generation
Scandinavian. Her mother and
father, born of Norwegian par
ents, in Minnesota, and Lorraine
has naturally sort of lost touch
with distant relatives in Norway,
but she will visit other relatives"
Her boy friends parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Otto K. Anderson, of Des
Moines, Wash, were both born in
Sweden, where they have a num-
Der of relatives, who are palsy
walsy' with Kenny. So if she ever
gets little time left over from
all official duties during her short
stay in the old country, she will
have a chance to get more in
timately acquainted with Sweden
and the Swedish people.
Wants a "FarskinnsfaIP'
I've dreamed about going 20
Scandinavia, says Lorraine, but
I never thought it would be pos
sible for me to go there so
soon.
when I get over there want
to buy a 'farskinnsfall,' a Sheep
skin fell, used mainly as rugs, and
do some real Christmas shopping"
Lorraine. whose parents own a
farm outside of Chehalis, was
graduated from Chehalis high
school in 1947. Last year she at
tended the University of Washing
ton, where she studied clothing
design Now she is working at
the Ballard branch of the National
Bank of Commerce to make more
money so as to enable her to 20
to a clothing design school in Sc

own clothes. Aside from that. she
likes singing, does quite a lot of
