The custom of her election dates from the first volume of El Rodeo in 1918. Interest the past two years has been especially keen. The elections have been characterized by color fights and painting bees which were replete with school enthusiasmj The candidates this year were truly representative of the two factions. however lightly defined, which always exists in a live high school. 'The Freshmen selected as their candidate, Miss Willie,'Belle Williamson and they were valiently upheld in their choice by the Juniors. While the Seniors supported by the Sophomores resolutely sustained Miss Lillie Mae Hayden as the rightful wearer of the diadem. The contest 'that followed has a just claim upon a place in the memory of every student of the school. During the con- test the secondary purpose of the contest, that of raising money for the publication of El Rodeo, was entirely lost sight of and the two combinations entered into the contest with an enthusiasm 'which is scarcely equaled by democratic politics. Kidnaping one of the leading apostles on each side was added to the ag- gressive movements of the campaign. The Big Neck Painting Festival tookuplace at the comer of Fifth and Scurry streets and everyparticipant received his alloted share of the greasy fluid. The ceremony closed with the same friendly rivalry and true sportsmanship with which it began. The countingrof the ballots revealed that the Senior-Sopho- more alliance had carried thdgelection. Miss Hayden was the Queen. Fifteen thunderous rahs for the l92l annual queen again united the student body into one. N T IIII IIIIIQEQQ la 'o IEL RODEOIUIIHHW- T'
