The throne of the May queen erect ed on the campus was in pink and white and back of the throne were the snow white blooms of the wild ! plums and from the throne to the high school the white carpet for the : queen was stretched and over which i the party of her majesty passed to j the scene of the coronation. J It had been arranged that the elec ! tion of the queen held on last Tues day should remain a secret as to the I winner until the few moments before i the crowning of the queen and it was not until the inarch of the party was ' taken up that the fact of the queen's I identity was revealed. J Preceding the formal coronation 'the high school orchestra played the introductory march and as it died i away the senior girls as maids of ! honor appeared and preceded the ; lady in waiting, Miss Mary Margaret ! Walling, who was the second in the i contest for queen and following her j came the trumpeters and the queen, i Miss Edith Farley, the choice of the i school for this honor. ! The queen, taking her seat, was j surrounded by her court ladies and j the pages as well as the presidents of the senior and junior classes, Harold Mullis and Henry Leacock, and the ; scene was one of beauty as the lady ; in waiting placed on the brow of the ' queen the floral crown of springtime I and she was seated on the throne. !
