QUEEN CoRNEITA

1t was a pretty little affair-that
crowning of May Queen at the high
school yesterday, the day being ideal
for the outdoor ceremony and exer-
cises.
The program began with the process
sional ut 8 p. m. when she Queen came
down the steps attended by her maids
of honor and took her seat upon the
flower decked throne on the lawn. The
high school orchestra played and later
the girls glee club sang most sweetly
selections appropriate to the day.
Miss Cornelia Clark wore the crown
and welded the scepter, no sweeter or
more gracious u sovereign ever ruling
over her subjects. Lulu Sue Poe was
crown bearer in the procession, Morine
Brockett carried the scepter and Mary
Louise Sterner and 1Iilma Salassi car
ried the train of the white coronation
gown.
Maids of honor were Edith Kluck,
Margaret Mason, Fern Leach, Vivian
Jones, Bernice Stafford, Helen Stat
ford, Doris Girosen and Lorena McEl
Vaney.
There were two lovely May poles
with May pole and other pretty dances
All the girls of the Queen s party wore
white gowns and were dainty and sweet
as could be. The teachers of Wilson
school were special guests and many of
the mothers of high school boys and
girls witnessed the ceremonies and en-
joyed the program.

this month Exhibitors are asked to
put on their very best during the per-
iod designated and churches, clubs,
fraternal organizations and schools,

success. The slogan is, "make the
best films pay the best.''
Motion pictures are to be discussed
during the convention of the fedora
tion meeting today and the remainder
of the week in Los Angeles. 1t is
stated that 100000 people attend the
motion pictures shows daily and
thoughtful people who desire the best
for the world at large, are beginning
to think seriously Of the kind of pic
lures these patrons are seeing. 1t is
said that q very great many of the
motion picture attendants never go tc
church or to lectures or to educationa:
and uplifting places of amusement, de.
pending for their entertainment and
recreation on the movies altogether.
This condition has aroused the club
women of California to make a siren.
uOus effort to create q demand fol-
good pictures and q department fol
the purpose of creating public senti-
ment for the better films movement
has been added to the federation, with
every club affilating urged to appoint
Il chairman of the department to coop
crate with the state chairman.
