The first question is "Who wrote the song There she is...?"
The answer is Bernie Wayne, an artist with 11 Gold records. The Miss America website explains that the pageant was first broadcast on television in 1954 (on ABC); then in 1955, "Popular Miss America host Bert Parks made his debut. "There She Is, Miss America" (the pageant theme song) was first introduced by singer Johnny Desmond on a Philco Playhouse production, which starred Lee Meriwether." The woman crowned that year was Miss America 1956 Sharon Ritchie of Colorado.
