Snow Postpones Accolade Pa eant Snow holidays are always welcomed by Woodlawn stude'nts, but this year's first snow didn't bring the usual joy. The Pageant of the Accolade, one of the most important events of the school year, had to be postponed. The 1965 ceremony and dance were originally scheduled for Friday, February 26, but it snowed on Wednesday, February 24. Because of the snow and a large number of absentees due to a flu epidemic, school was dismissed for the rest of that week. Sighs of disappointment were heard throughout the Castle, but the event was re-scheduled and pre- sented on Friday, March 5. Miss Blackbourne's art classes, with a scene from Camelot in mind, painted trees in springtime colors to decorate the stage for this event. Green archways and a green-draped throne completed the setting. The olive green-and-gold brocade gowns and the green satin shoes of the court ladies complimented the spring scene. These soft colors provided a stunning background for the white-and-silver brocade gown worn by Queen Martha Sanders. The court ladies car- ried tangerine-colored bouquets, and the queen's scep- ter was entwined with ivy and white carnations. Appropriate music was used for the ceremony with the King and Queen entering to the Triumphal March from Aida by Verde. Several teachers helped with the pageant plans, with Mr. Dunn and Mrs. Curlin serving as co-ordinators.
