The first Hawaii resident to be crowned Miss America...

Firsts and Almost Firsts in Hawaii

by Robert C. Schmitt
ed. by Ronn Ronck

"Fun to read.... Organized for easy reference and clearly written. Despite its brevity (and levity), the book is a valuable reference work for history buffs and more serious students of Hawaii's past." -Honolulu Advertiser

This is the first book-length look at how and when a wide range of items made their first appearance in the Islands: from cockroaches, slot machines, and drive-ins to aloha shirts, parking meters, and shipwrecks. To satisfy the curious and the skeptical, endnotes and a bibliography listing more than 200 publications are provided, making this work a valuable reference for scholars and an entertaining handbook for trivia buffs.

Now available at the Reference Desk (AREFDESK DU623 .S36 1995)

Carolyn Suzanne Sapp was crowned Miss America on September 14, 1991. At the time of her crowning she was a junior at HPU.
