These shapely girls are the winners of the 1969 Fiji "Miss Hibiscus" contest. Despite continuous rain at the festival, which raised over $16,000, they have reason to be happy; above, in the centre. Miss Hibiscus herself, 18-year-old Laurie Crowe; left, Helen Bentley in second place, and third, on the right, is Virginia Rounds. Cheerful Lusiana Vakarewa, 21, below, left, won herself the Miss Charity Queen title by raising $1,003. The 19 contestants for the title raised a total of $3,824. — Photos: Stan Ritova.
