Karen Lehtonen Is 'Miss Saline9
_Seventi2en - year - old Karen
Lehtonen, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Lehtonen, was
named "Miss Saline of 1964" in
crowning ceremonies Thursday
evening at Saline High School.
She received her roses from
none other than Miss Michigan,
who had met with all contestants before the ceremony, and
was crowned by last year's Miss
Saline, Alona Frey.
Selected as members of her
court were Jane Ross, 17, of
10185 Maple Rd., and Mary
Banks, 17, first runner-up, 105
Monroe St.
" Kathleen Burkhart, 16, of
409 N. Ann Arbor St., received
the coveted title of "Miss Congeniality", bestowed by her fel-
Jow contestants by vote.
Miss Lehtonen graduated in
June, 1963, after an active high
school career that included good
grades, membership in the FHA
and the cheerleaders' group and
presidency of the Teen club.
Last year she was Homecoming
Queen as well. She is working
as a bookkeeper in Ann Arbor,
but saving up to attend business L '*'
college. "fc^
She doesn't go "steady", just

skiing.

for the ceremony, rather than a :
