Floats, Rides, And Cotton Candy The Falr, a sure slgn of fall. On September 12, despite the fact that there was not a hint of fall ln the air, fair posters began popping up everywhere as Dolph Alexander and Garvin and Harry Weaver braved the rain to tack up signs announcing Fair Week, October 2-6. Although the fair was three weeks away excitement was already rising. Girls began slgnlng up to enter the Falr Queen Contest and various organizations began to throw around ideas for floats to enter In the parade. Those who were planning to exhibit animals in the livestock shows or the pet show lntenslfled their training and grooming to get their animals ready. Others started looklng around for canned goods, handicrafts, or plants they could enter ln the fair exhibits. And everywhere there was talk of what rides would be available and who would win a stuffed animal or dunk a fireman. On September 26 at Malone Hall, the 48 Falr Queen contestants nervously awaited the judges' decision. When it finally came, the audience applauded with approval as Patti McDaniel was named Queen with Denlse Taylor, First Alternate, Barbara Wells, Second Alternate, Harriett De Jarnett, Third Alternate: and Lisa Morgan, Fourth Alternate. Monday morning found most students discussing the rapidly approaching Fair Day. All week creative ideas were put to practical use as floats began to take shape. And everyone was excited about getting out early Friday. And then Frlday dawned bright, beautifully sunny, and COOL. Fall had came and so had Fair Day. Everyone scurried around putting finishing touches on floats. Suddenly it was 12:00 - time for the Fair Parade to assemble at the Courthouse. At 1:00 all the floats were llned up and the parade began. With the Stone High Band leading the way, the parade moved slowly down Third Street to College and on up the hill to 1st Street. A left turn on 1st and the parade passed ln front of the throngs of people llnlng the street. Then all too soon floats disappeared from view and the parade was over. 40 Student LlfelFair Fair Queen, Pattl McDaniel, concentrates on throwing a piece of candy to a bystander. if 27'-,,, ,.,,,,,.. is .M '11, , U Q L tn.
