Miss Durum Macaroni
To win the title of 'Miss Durum Macaroni' it wasn't enough to be attractive. Contestants were also judged on a macaroni recipe that they were required to submit.
You can find the recipe of the winner, Julie Kay Dunkirk, below. She won with Mexican Macaroni Casserole.
Also, if you're a fan of browsing through old trade journals, the entire run of The Macaroni Journal (1919-1984) can be found online at the website of the National Pasta Association.
Update: I found a better quality image of Miss Durum Macaroni on the website of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Her winning recipe is a primitive attempt at chili mac. One tablespoon of chili powder and two of sugar!

The dish she's posing with is not elbow macaroni (or she managed to get in a bizarre cheese pull)
