After a simple vet lovelv processional, Queen Dor- othv was seated on her throne; the heralds, the flo ’cr girls, the crown bearer, and the train bearer — all from the College Ele¬ mentary School — took their places; and the court grouped itself around the dais. William Newcomb placed the crown on the queen’s head, and the festivities given in her honor began. A nnmbcr of gavlv clad girls performed a dance s mbohc of the coming of summer; and the Court Jester, Emilv Clinard, e.xe- cuted her antics designed to add a spirit of A Queen is crowned nonsense to the proceedings.

Of little value in itself, it is s mbohe of the ideals of the State Teach¬ ers College. Behind it lies the work of a student who has not onh ' won a place on the honor roll, but who has broadened his life and his experiences through participation in cxtra-eurrieular activities. Seven students recei ed this honor this year. Fi ' e of the key winners were so honored for the first time — Doris Gross, Dorothv Sid¬ dons, Georgia Wdiite, Robert Potter, and Oscar Carev. To Jeannette Rencher Insley was gi ' en a kev with two rubies, representing three years of achie ’cmcnt. Augusta Heath dcser es the unprecedented record of being the third person and the first woman to re- cci ' e the kev for four consceuti ' e vears. I ler kev shows her honor bv being set with two rubies and a diamond. . 29 •
