1959 Queen Carolyn Marie Harris

1959 Queen Carolyn Marie Harris

Carolyn Marie Harris, 21, was the daughter of Rep. Oren Harris (D-Ark.) and Mrs. Harris. She was a senior at the University of Arkansaa. It took two spins of the wheel of fortune to make her queen. At right is Attorney General William P. Rogers who spun the wheel. On the first spin, Rogers spun too hard and the wheel actually fell over on Carolyn. On the second spin, the wheel landed on Arkansas to make Carolyn the 1959 U.S. Cherry Blossom Queen.
