1951 Tower Dance To a fanfare of blazing trumpets, Miss Sharlis Marple stepped through the Tower arch of 1951 and assumed the title of Queen of the Tower. Through the arch with Queen Sharlis came Bill Ogden, who was chosen King of the Tower. The king this year was elected by the girls who at- tended the dance, and the queen was elected by their escorts. The coronation ceremony was conducted in a setting of maroon and gray, with the royal thrones as the centers of attraction. Directed to the thrones by the long path of white carpet unrolled by pages Tim Johnson and Leland Long, Miss Carol Lafferty entered with the queen ' s bouquet. Next came the bearers of the crowns, Carol Knittle and Pat Harr. Directly preceding the King and Queen came Mary Gib- son, who strewed rose petals along the royal path. Following the King and Queen came the attendants, Beatrice Straight, Elaine Hunt, Paul Tobin, and Kurby Lyle. who made up the royal court. Dick Gordon, editor of the 1951 Tower, pre- sided over the coronation ceremony. Miss Mary Lou Rockwell, Tower Queen of 1950, was pres- ent to concede her crown to the incoming queen. Mrs. Julia Grissinger, Tower Queen of the 1949 Tower, was also present as a special guest. After the crowning of the pair, the royal dance was played for the king, queen, and attendants. Decorations were set in a mode of three shades of green, highlighted by tall towers. Artificial walls of green continued the theme of the Tower Club. Dick Gordon announced the dedication of the 1951 Tower to Dr. Harry Dildine. a professor at our college. Dr. Dildine has done much for this college, and has shown an active interest in the students during his years of service. Miss Jo Ann Magnuson and Miss Nadine Cramer introduced the guests to the line, which included Dick Gordon and Miss Bedonna White, Dr. and Mrs. Jones, Joe Collier and Miss Mary- belle Bast, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ringold. Jewell Rice was in charge of decorations for the dance, Don Davis, Alyce Whitlatch, Joe Collier, and Dick Gordon planned the coronation ceremony, and Nadine Cramer was in charge of the refreshments. Music for the evening was supplied by Bryce Pulley and his band. Beatrice Straight and Paul Tobin Kurby Lyle and Elaine Hunt Page 9
