introducing the Queen And Her Lovely Escorts Queen Eleanor Engdahl At high noon today, Queen El lie I will lead her all-white court to the royal dais and receive the crown and scepter of her office. When first addressed as “J^ueen,” the 5 foot 6 inch art student thought “they were kid ding.” During the last three weeks of trips to Portland, meeting the Governor, heading parades, hear ing loyal Webfoots sing her own song, the gracious queen still can’t believe it. Her gown of state for tlhe Weekend will be white pique with white lace bodice and yards and yards of billowing skirt. The re gal escort to the Prom will be the owner of her Fiji pin, Buck Jones.
