Coronafion Of the Pirate Jambor-
ee Royalty VIII Be on April
"a at Coquina Beach

Dare Coast pirate royalty to sue
coed Queen Virginia Swain and
King Pat Bayne will be selected

events, will be held in Buccaneer
Ras Westcott's Pirate Den Casino
on Mays Head.
Also planned, with the date to be
scheduled, will be another teen-age
buccaneer dance at which Prince
and Princess will be selected. The
teen-age dance last year resulted
in frankie White of Manteo and
Diane Tillett of Wanchese winning
the honors, and they played their
role during the past year, just as
King Pat and Queen Virginia have
done, with distinction.
Moving the coronation ceremon-
les to the first day of the four-day
vacation launching celebration will
give the new king and queen an
opportunity to actually rule over
their subjects. during their election
year. Previously the browning of
the king and queen took place at
the coronation ball on the second
or third night of the celebration.
A gala coronation ball honoring
the new king and queen will be
held on Saturday night in the Pr
rate Den Casino, but without the
actual browning ceremonies. Buc-

have one of the best bands avail
