St. Louis Typical Teen

In 1963 the St. Louis Hop with Russ Carter held a contest sponsored by Pepsi Cola to choose the St. Louis Typical Teen. Each week the show would pick a photograph of the winner that week from the entries sent in. The entry period ran 8 weeks and at the end of the eight weeks the finalists would come to the show and they would announce the winner. The prize was a date with the current Miss Missouri (Sandra K. Lyle) the use of a chauffeured Rolls Royce for the day. Dinner at the Three Fountains in Gaslight Square and a movie at the Cinerama. Paul and Paula were the live featured group at the Hop.
I believe there was never another subsequent contest for St. Louis Typical Teen.
