turned to look at her opponent, but

very neat and graceful fall, which
drew laugh both from the unwilling
performer and from the audience.

Prep School Events

Taking three f1rsts, and two Sec
onds for total OF p points in the
tour ski and spowshoe races. South
Paris High, twice winners of the
state winter sports title in the con-
tests OF the Maine Interscholastic
Winter Sports Association, which are
neld yearly in connection with the
state OF Maine Winter Carnival IN
this city, will agan make a strong bid
Tor the title, which last year was
snatched from them by the Lee
Academy team.
South Paris was leading the race
oy considerable margin at the con-
clusion of the snow events on FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. Lee Academy, their clos
est opponents having a total Of Ia
points having taken a first, two Sec
onds and three thirds. Bangor High
was in third place with eight points
all annexed in the ski jumping in
which they took both first and second
Lincoln Academy and Stevens High
of Rumford each had one point.
The final standing of the contest
Will be very close. Neither Lee Acad-
envy or South Paris will enter the
skating races as they feel that there
, is danger of having the men injured
1nasmuch as they have had no chance
to practice this year. Bangor High
Is confident that in Linn, who is de-
| clared to have taken a second place
in the international amateur skating
dashes at Saranac Lake last year
they have a man who will clean up
the skating events and give them a
sufficient lead for a win. Linn will
not enter the 440-yard backward race
but will enter the three other events
and II he succeeds in taking all three,
1t will put his team in the lead with
total of 20 points.
Aldrich Stars
South Paris lead was largely due to
the wonderful work of Aldrich, who
last year was one of the stars of the
meet. Both ON snowshoes and skis.
Aldrich Is a winner and he proved
this by taking firsts in both the 100
yard ski dash and the 100 yard snow
shoe dash. Before the start of the
one mile snowshoe dash he declared
that he wished that and the two mile
ski race did not come so close to-
gethel as he would like to enter both.
AS 1t was he entered the two mile
ski race and finished second, his team
mate, Lindell, who had taken second
in the 100 yard ski event, taking first
in the distance run.

Coronation of Queen

Simple but impressive ceremonies
| marked the coronation Of Miss Rosa
| Witham, the queen of the State of
Maine winter carnival. Friday even
ing at the Cony high ice rink. Greet
ed with applause of an immense
crowd that taxed "the acre of ice" to
capacity, she was escorted to her
! throne Of ice, built upon a raised
| platform on the east side Of the rink
| where the golden crown was placed
| upon her head by Mayor Ernest l..
| Mclean.
Clad in the beautiful winter sports
suit of red and white, the gift to the
| queen Of Hon. w. HI. Gannett, she ar
rived at the rink shortly after o.
clock, her conveyance being the team
drawn by the beautiful dogs of Ed
| ward NJ. Clark of West Milan, N. II.
Circling the central enclosure, the
dog team was directed to a position
| near the throne. and the queen was
| assisted from her seat upon the sled
and was escorted to her throne by
the master of ceremonies, Fred owen.
The crown was carried by little Miss
Peggy Owen, daughter Of the master
of ceremonies.
A short address by Mayor Ernest
and other officials, was attired in a
winter sports suit Of red and white,
proved especially timely. He pointed
out the beauties of nature In the
winter and the pleasure and health
that might be derived by lovers Of the
out of doors, and then spoke Of the
appropriateness of the fact that the
queen, who had been chosen by the
city Of Augusta should be one who
had dedicated her life to service to
humanity as nurse.
Removing her red cap, the dark
eyed queen, radiant in her beauty,
received the crown from Mayor Nc
Lean. after which she returned to
her seat on the dog sledge and after
again making the circuit Of the rink,
she returned to the snow igloo from
which she had come
Varied Program
This beautiful feature was but one
of the entertaining events that kept
the enire gathering of many hundreds
of spectators interested every minute
of the time. Comets of several kinds
furnished much merriment as those
who have had little practice with the
glittering blades attempted to speed
around the enclosure.

nesday evening. Class Day is a das
set apart for the students themselves
and, whiIe especially enjoyable 70 the
classes, the program usually contains
so much not quite understandable to
the outsiders that it does not draw.
The humor, the sly digs and the in
nuendoes are lost upon most except
the high school students who enjoy
them immensely.
The program opened with a piano
duet by Irma Wilson and Dorothy
Damrose followed by the high school
song sung by the assemblage. Carl
Tucker gave the Juniors a lot Of Sage
advice to which Jay Leland responded
for that class. The class history was
given by Ted Vinegar, the class
prophecy by Robert Nohl, the class
will by Edna Burrows after which
the class sung their class song and
yelled their class yell The evening
was one of JOY and merriment. To
be forgotten was worse than being
slammed and the speakers appear t.
have forgotten no one.
