Janet Chun is 22 years-old and stands 5'1" tall. She weighs 103 lbs and her measurements are 32"-23"-35".
Janet is a Pearl Harbor clerk and a graduate of Baldwin High School in Maui.
For the talent segment, she gave the Mu Lan poem.
Narcissus Queen is another crown to add to the list of her accomplishments. Janet had been Junior Prom Queen at her high school in Maui and also the Chinese Beauty Queen of 1948 sponsored by the Chinese Civic Association of Honolulu that was held at the July 4th celebration.
The very first Narcissus Queen contest was created as part of the Narcissus Festival to bring business to the Chinatown area of Honolulu and to help perpetuate the Chinese culture. It was held around the time of Chinese New Year. The pageant in its first year only allowed girls that were full Chinese and have some Chinese language ability. The pageant composed called for excellence in 3 areas: Evening Gown, Talent and Bathing Suit.
Evening Gown and Talent accounted for 40 percent of the score, while Bathing Suit accounted for 60 percent.
