' 49er TOWER DANCE Attendants: Margaret Berry, Lois Walker, Shirley Burger, and Patricia Smith Suspense that was highlighted by the necessity of a second vote to decide on the queen of the ' 49er Tower was climaxed by the crowning of Julia Polton, who was tied at the first vote by Patricia Smith. Miss Smith joined Margaret Berry, Shirley Bur- ger, and Lois Walker in attending the queen. As trumpets sounded a royal fanfare the 1948 Tower Queen, Helen Fisher, pulled a ribbon which removed the covering from the imitation doorway of the College Towers and revealed the ' 49 Tower Queen, Julia Polton. In a formal ceremony Queen Julia and her attendants marched to the throne to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. They were preceded by Chris Cunningham who carried the crown ; Karen Ringold, who carried the queen ' s bouquet ; and Jean Zirbel, who strewed flowers in the path of the honored ones. David Arthur, Tower Business Manager, performed the coronation ceremony. The five young ladies danced the Queen ' s dance with their escorts following the coronation. Blue spot lights and red and gold streamers enhanced the atmosphere as students, fac- ulty, and invited guests danced to the music of Bob Tebow and his Collegians. In one corner of the room stood a large sketched drawing of the College Towers. During the intermission, a short program was presented. Dean Steebe acted as Master of Ceremonies. Diane Dressier played a piano solo entitled Lover . With Rex Moyer as pianist and Norman Clouse as soloist, the two gave their rendition of A Slow Boat to China and That Certain Party . Mr. Steebe announced that Dr. Cunningham was to re- ceive the Tower dedication and Dr. Cunning- ham expressed his appreciation of the honor. Zea Grissinger of the Social Committee made arrangements for the dance, and Wil- helmina Edie planned the decorations. The Tower staff cooperated in helping the Social Committee plan decollations and promotions of the dance. David Arthur, Tower Business Manager, was chairman of the dance. Page 10
