The Coronation of Queen Lobo II 99' I UPERB in artistry and exquisitely beautiful in minutest detail was the crowning of her most lovely and gracious Highness, Ruth of the House of Huestis, Queen of the Loboes, in the Royal Gardens at Cisco High School, Friday evening, May 7 th. For this ceremonial the gym had been transformed into a fairy rose garden -background of evergreen dotted with roses, canopy ot' oak boughs hung with Southern moss, trellises of running roses, festoons of smilax, and over all, moon- light. First the heralds with their bugles, Glenn Roberts and Horace Carpenter, marched to the throne dais. They were followed by two heralds with scrolls, Inez Strickland and Bobbye Bryant. The throne was in gorgeous royal purple, and each herald stood by a purple newcl-post. Following the heralds, Lord Alfred of the House of Carroll, jester to his most gracious majesty, King Howard, came rolling down the stairway. Wlith jump and skip he was everywhere and all during the evening furnished much merriment with his antics. The ceremony proper began with the entrance ot' Prime Minister Morgan with stately dignity in his magniiicent purple robes. Soon afterward pages, two preceding and two following-Ocie Leveridge and Douglas Bates, Frank Langston and Charles Langtord-announced silently the entrance of his most gracious majesty, King Howard ot the House of Brown. Very superb was he in his jeweled crown, suit of white satin, robes of crimson and ermine, with his royal scepter. His gracious majesty, King Lobo I, Charles of the House of Grist, followed. Gorgeous, also, and kingly was he in his robes of richest blue. Prince and Princess of Cisco and of the neighboring cities were first to do honor to their reigning king, followed by representatives of high school organi- zations, city organizations, clubs and lodges, and dukes and duchesses from other schools. Following her page, Carl Mount, and crown bearer, Virginia Lee Smith, came her most lovely and gracious Highness, Queen Ruth of the House of Huestis, radiant in an exquisite gown of lace over cloth of gold with diamonds and pearls, her long and dazzling train carried by six trainbearers. After the crowning of the queen with due ceremony, the heralds announced the entertainers, who were present in honor of her majesty. An especially beauti- ful number was the dance, The Rosen, given by Katherine Moss. At the close of the program, their majesties led the way from the royal gardens, and the crowning of the Queen of the Lobocs of 1926 had passed into history. The music during the entire coronation ceremony was furnished by Kelley 's Orchestra. The whole honor of the entertainment belongs to H. V. Nigro, who conceived it and worked tirelessly to make it a successful achievement. 9752? ff' f as-' it-1331 ii 5 ' A Eighty nine 1 3 af M fr ,, - -f --f 4--- - Y-4'
