PAST COURT RETURNS TO REVIEWING STAND 'Neat Package' Holds SIR KISSEL BATTLES Various Ingredients FOR QUEEN'S GLORY May day 1948! But wait—this is 1949! Regardless what’s the latest inside information of last year’s court and escorts? Queen Merle is now a very ef ficient secretary at Dr. Steele’s office in Oregon City. Her athle tic escort, George Matile, is en rolled at Willamette University. Maid-of-honor Arlene Stone at tends Oregon State college and her good-looking escort, Ed Cole man, is also enrolled at the in stitute, where he is making quite a name for himself as a scholar. Red haired Mildred Ryan is an employee of Meier and Frank Company and Don Headrick, her escort, is studying at University of Portland. Living a life of leisure at pres ent is Princess Joan Murphy while Ted Antonson is hard at work making something of him self at the University of Oregon. Dean Urfer has traveled South to Stanford where he has attained an outstanding scholastic record; his princess, Lois McCart, is em ployed by a Portland lawyer. Two members of last year’s court, Shirley Taylor and Helen Oliver, have walked the halls of matrimony. Jack Taylor, Shir ley’s escort, is also married and lives in Roseburg. Merle Fordyce, employed by Crown Zellerbach, hopes to continue his schooling. Now a reporter on the Enter prise staff, Beverly Calder is still true to Haivey Anderson, an em ployee of a Portland furniture store. “Good things come in small packages” and a neat little pack age is Miss Jean Turnquist. She can make many a good thing, too, like a delicious chiffon cake or a stunning pair of pajamas. Miss Turnquist’s day is a busy one, beginning with a double class. In one room she instructs girls’ advanced sewing, while in another room a large group of husky boys are learning how to manage future homes and how to make men of themselves. Second period ushers in second year home economics with home man agement and cooking the main plan of work. After the third pe riod of clothing, the fourth pe riod study hall furnishes a few moments for Miss Turnquist to collect her thoughts. Fifth and sixth periods of clothing follow smoothly. Aside from classes, Miss Turn- quist is adviser of the FHA chap ter and of the style show that will be presented at the Mother and Daughter tea. Today when the May queen and her court pa rade their finery before the pub lic, evidence of Miss Turnquist’s advice and assistance will be prominent in the lovely proces sional. To Miss Turnquist hobbies are a “must” and naturally cooking and sewing are among them. The sports that, top this home economist’s list are skiing, danc ing, salmon fishing and hunting odd and unusual stamps to add to her collection. Well whatta ya know—it’s May day! And here we are all rarin’ to go and ready to spill everything we know. Bob Bernert has finally gained an ardent admirer. At least Sue tells the story that way. The sophomore girls feel so sad! A red head from Portland is beating their time with Jim Pi- nardi. Two eligible bachelors in the second year Latin class are David Stewart and Alan Jansen. (Paid advertisement!) Can it be that Pat has given Jay the “brush off” for Air lie? New steadies pop up all the time. Betty Ankersmit has an nounced that she and Bob Ehler from Oregon State are dating steadily. Sandra Halback and Jim Kosic are happily hitting it off together, too. Congratulations, Nellie Hern don. That’s a beautiful sparkler you’re sporting. The lucky guy is Bob Stetzel. More pats on the back go to Dorene Baker, whose third finger left hand bears Jack Stefano's token of affection, and Joan El liott, who has become the fiancee of Roy Wing. Where’s Gordon Putz?

Why it’s the Great Kissel attempting to fight this ferocious dragon that has captured our queen. His only weapon will be these empty bottles, ah-h-h—his bare hands and his horse! Swing ing upon his trusty steed, he darts into the fray. As a great roar makes the woodland ring, the dragon belches fire and Kis sel’s fiery steed gallops from the smoke. Tony, don’t give up! You must save the queen! There’s no one left but you! But what’s this? The Great Kissel has slain the dragon! As he strides forward with the great head hanging from his belt, he whistles for his horse, “Ph-e-w-t, here Asthma.” Mount ing the great horse, he rides forth and shouts, “Forward ho! To glory for the queen!” Within the space of two min utes, Tony returns with Queen Eleanor walking before him, for his rocking horse will only ac commodate one. Suddenly old Asthma rares up and throws Tony into a nearby tree. “Help, help, somebody! My rocking horse is running away!” As the May Day manager slow ly rises and dresses for another busy day, he mumbles to him self, “Gee whiz, I’m glad that was only a dream. Something like that could never happen,” four walls answer, “Couldn’t it, Tony?” Do you remember your first May day? You’re probably em barrassed about a few of the “crazy” adventures you had but it still remains one of the biggest moments of your grammar school life with those movies, free ice cream, and that baseball game that West Linn always wins. Yes, it was a great life then and it still is, for the seventh and eighth graders of today will prob ably be having just as much fun as you did in your youth. With our coat collars pulled up around our necks, let’s follow one of these little “bandits” and see how he spends and enjoys his first May day. Immediately after arriving in school, our little friend lines up for his ice cream ticket and after an hour of hard work he’s back with enough tick ets to feed an army. Being ques tioned on how he had se cured these valuable gifts, he re plies with a blank look, “Just kept goin’ to the end of the line!” After eating his lunch, four cokes, seven slices, two bags of peanuts, and three candy bars, the little “guy” becomes restless while waiting for the ball game to proceed. “I need somethin’ to do!” he screams and rushes over to a small girl to give her hair a “tug.” Of course, this starts a big “brawl” and the little champ wins out over two tough girls. Ah yes, a. complete bliss reigns over this small lad as he steps on his bus to go home.
