DescriptionRosemarie Pachioli was crowned Centennial Queen on July 11, 1955. Happily, this image captures the exact moment of Pachioli's coronation. Governor Robert B. Meynor is smiling broadly as he places the crown on Pachioli's head. Egg Harbor City Mayor W. Haines Maxwell stands nearby.

According to the newspaper, Pachioli's official title was "Miss Centennial Queen." Pachioli's coronation ceremony was a key event of the first night of the "Centurama" historical pageant.

American flags and the women of the Centennial Queen's court can be seen in the background.
