Answer 3

In 1961, Ms. DIANE COX of Virginia won the first MISS TEENAGE AMERICA pageant.  The pageant was founded in that year as a program to honor young women’s achievement.  The judges focused upon the contestant's grades and achievement. The pageant had no swimsuit competition.

[In 1981, "TEEN" magazine acquired the rights to the MISS TEENAGE AMERICA pageant from the Dr. Pepper Company.  The pageant was changed into a nationwide mail-entry contest celebrating teen achievement. Finalists are judged on grades, community service, and intelligence.  

It was not until 1983 that the MISS TEEN USA pageant was created  as a sister pageant to the MISS USA system. The first of these pageants was held in Lakeland, Florida in August, 1983, and was won by Ms. RUTH ZAKARIAN of New York.]
