1942 Portland Rose Festival Princess Janis Korlann posing with golf ball and club

Full-length portrait of Janis Korlann, the 1942 Portland Rose Festival princess from Grant High School, posing with a golf club and ball. She is crouching, facing to the left, and holding the club in one and and the ball in the other. A cropped version of this photograph was published on the front page of the Oregon Journal “News & Views” section on Sunday, May 24, 1942. The page featured photographs of each Rose Festival princess and a brief story headlined “Princesses Off Duty.” This photograph had the following caption: “ ‘GOLF’S A CINCH’ has been quoted to Grant Princess Janis Roberta Korlann so often that this athletic-minded girl couldn’t resist the opportunity to try it out. ‘After all, you can’t ski all year around,’ she bewails.” See related image Nos. 375A0281, 375A0283, 375A0284, 375A0285, 375A0286, 375A0287, 375A0288, and 375A0292, which were published on the same page. Image note: The unconfirmed date “5/19/42” is written on the negative sleeve.
