Sandra Gill, a Carleton Place High School student, won the title of Miss Carleton Place in 1975. Two Princesses were also chosen, and they were: Wanda Cameron and Wendy Whitney. Along with emcee Tom Marshall entertainment was provided by Donna Lowe and friends, who performed a dance routine. Ann McRae and Ivan White each provided vocal stylings, and a gym team consisting of: Patricia Sanderson , Michelle and Evon Silson put on a display.
Contestants were judged on street wear and then evening dress. After a farewell address by Miss Carleton Place 1974, Heather McRae, each of the remaining contestants were given a question on which the girls had to speak impromptu.
As the flashbulbs popped, Sandra Gill, Miss Carleton Place, 1975, was crowned and presented with a winner’s trophy. Sandra who lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Gill of Prospect, said the competition had been a wonderful experience. She also expressed thanks to her sister Lorraine who was two years older.
Ironically, Sandra would not be representing Carleton Place in the Miss Eastern Ontario pageant that year as she was only 16, and the competing age was 17. The princesses were also 16, so finalist Cindy Williams represented Carleton Place.
