Beautiful Princess to Queen Rubie
Irene are: the Misses Elizabeth

Misses Molly and Addie Haynes;

Katherine Stanifer, and Betty
Mann. From the coronation cere-
monies at the "Y" Thursday eve
ming, June 2, until the finale of
both the grand parade on Friday
and the Junior parade on Satur-
day, these popular Queens and the
Courts were the center of attrac-
ton; they were whizzed hither,
thither and yonder in the social
whirl as compliments and congra-
tulations were heaped upon them.
In Fridays grand floral pagent,
Queen Rubie Irene had complete
dominion over her subjects and
Rose covered float as she sat on
the throne with her court assem-
bled about her. The Queens gor-
geous float was followed by the
community colored band headed by
their dainty, nimble, housekeeping
drum major, Miss Dolores Cald-
well.
Did Dolores receive a big hand?
Well, all Portland says so, plus
shouts of applause. The band, UNI
der the direction of Mr.. Bert Tur-
ner, swung out to rhythm that
brought roar upon roar of ap-
plause and Swing it boys" from
the throngs that packed and jam
med the thoroughfare. Never have
there been a more gracious or a
more lovely queen than dainty
Anna Hpburn, who escorted by her
noble King Morgan Jones, rode
majestically in her royal float and
received tumultuous homage from
the thousands who viewed the pa
rade. Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Turner
