The First Miss North Shore Hospital
In 1950, students in local high schools were invited to participate in a contest to raise money and
awareness of the need for a community hospital in Manhasset. The young women who entered wore
nurse’s uniforms (a “bathing beauty” contest was deemed inappropriate) and delivered one-minute
speeches stating why the hospital should be built. The winner, pictured here, the first Miss North Shore
Hospital, was 16-year-old Glorian Devereux, a senior at Manhasset High School (where football legend
Jim Brown was a sophomore). With her is a young and handsome Perry Como, who was from Port
Washington. He performed at the event, held at Roosevelt Raceway, as did Frank Sinatra (although
he was from New Jersey). “The prize was an all-expenses-paid trip to Bermuda, with a boyfriend and
a chaperone,” Mrs. Dorsey (her married name) recalled. “I think I received a set of luggage, too. The
chaperone was the high school gym teacher, who was only 22 herself, and the three of us rode bikes –
not motor bikes – all over the island. We had a wonderful time.”

baking, stood out because of his
extensive experience in throughout
New York City’s competition circuit
