Butthe city has a reputation for fresh-faced American beauty, and I thoughtwith little luck I'd find a Miss Somebody for Famity WEEKLY’s series of undiscovered beauties who deserve to be cover girls. But I needed help, and Joy Andera was recommended to me as a girl who knewall the best-looking youngsters in town. Togeth“er we sat down and pored over recent yearbooks from Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara City College. I considered every possibility, but I'd pretty well made up my mind before we'd leafed through half a yearbook who would be my choice—Joy Andera. Joy seemed to me to reflect the Southern California. I'd been enjoying during the search. There was a sort of warm aura about her, the sort of diffused glow the afternoon sun casts in prisms on Santa Barbara’s treelined residential streets. Her eyes are clear blue, and her hair catches soft highlights and holds them until cision. It was you. I'll call her and explain.” “No,” Joy said softly, “maybe it'll be better if I call, I’m her friend.” Joy is 18 and has just started at Santa Barbara City College. She lives with herfather, who owns a local department store, her mother, appropriately named Venus, and a kid brother, Charles, who admits: “Yeh, Joy looks all right.” Like many California girls, Joy is an accomplished athlete. She plays tennis, water skis, and bowls well enough to anger some boy friends—there is no. “steady.” “The thing I like best is painting,” Joy says. “That’s what I’m going to major in at college. I want to teach art some day. I can’t think of any better way for children to see beauty in life than by painting it.” Except for her family and a friend (“we whisper secrets”), none of Joy’s college crowd knew about her being a cover girl you think they are diamondbarrettes. As for Joy indulges in some schoolgirl gossip with friends outside of Santa Barbara City College, where she is a freshman. California’s zest for living, I thought Joy showed that in everything she did—from telling me about her wonderful friend who should be Miss Somebody to dashing off apologetically for some water skiing. Theonly time I saw herspirit clouded was whenI finally told her about my decision: she was going to be Miss Somebody from California. Her smile faded as she ‘remem- until they saw this issue of FamiLy WEEKLY. “Oh, how I’m suffering,” Joy told me a few days ago when I called her long-distance. “The news all but bursts out of me—T'm going to be a covergirl!’ But how would that sound? Awfully puffed up, even if I don't meanit that way. Besides, I really. can’t believe I’m a Miss Somebody until I see the cover with my owneyes!” I suppose today Joy Anderafinallybelieves she is Miss Somebody. I know do. ey e Family Weekly COVER: Ozzie Sweet’s camera focuses on the shining beauty of Joy Andera, who is the fourth of a series of “unknown”lovelies to become a Family Weekly cover girl.
