Azalea Court 1965 Following five tense moments at the Azalea Queen's Ball on April 3, Lindo Diane Brown was announced as the 1965 Azalea Queen. The following girls are members of the Azalea Court! Penny Myers, Glenda shields, Missy Brown, Nelda Essel- strom, Karen Western, and Becky Moe. A new method was used to determine the queen and her court this year, formerly the senior class nominated 12 girls and the student body voted for seven, the girl with the largest number of votes reigning as queen. The new method of election called for the senior class to vote on seven girls with the student body choosing the queen from among these seven who become the princesses. Linda and her Court were in great demand for personal appearances during the time between their an- nouncement at the Queen's Ball and the Azalea Festival. They appeared at local functions and traveled to Eureka, Medford and Coos Bay for festivals. During the two months in which these personal appearances took place, they were honored at 40 functions in all, both locally and out-of town. The culmination of the pre-festival excitement was the 1965 Azalea Festival, May 29-30, the high point point ofthe festival being the crown- inq of Linda Diane Brown as 1965 Azalea Queen Linda ll. The royal Court attended all of the weekend's activities, some of which were: a seafood luncheon, flower show, gem and mineral show, art exhibit, teen dance, square dance, beef barbeque, and sunrise service in the park Sunday morning.
