Miss Lillian Penquite, the beautiful
daughter of DR.. w Penquite, and one

by the audience and this was repeated
when the May Queen ascended the
throne escorted by her maids Of honor
Charming were these maids, arrayeC
in the beauties of Maytime and radiant
iwth the joy which they felt at Miss
Penquite's election.
The march to the throne had beer
preceded by a military drill in whiel
