The Golden Age Club met at the Emanuel Cohen Center, 909 Elwood Avenue North, Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 16, 1949.
The judges here included, left to right, Rabbi Schulman, William Liebo, Sam Finkelestein, and Lena Berdman. The baby beauty is Roberta Wilensky, aged 2.
I suppose we’ve been doing this to babies since the bronze age, but this looks tame compared to some of the baby competitions nowadays.
Good looking baby, though…
