Six young women, some dressed with a spot of green, found themselves waiting patiently at the Elmhurst Public Library to give perfect and polished interviews. They weren’t facing prospective employers, they were up in front of Elmhurst Jaycee members who would select the very first Emerald Queen for Elmhurst’s 15th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Saturday, March 12.
