a Rose Festival Princess.
CINDY HAS been caught up
in a whirl of Festival activities
including luncheons, trips across
the state, and a visit to Gov
ernor Tom McCall.
One of the highlights of Cin
dy’s reign as Princess was a trip
to Central Oregon all the prin
cesses took May 19-20. The
thirteen girls left Portland at
7:30, and went straight to Tim
berline Lodge for breakfast.
KA-NEE-TA was the next
place the princesses visited. Aft
er a refreshing rest, the girls
then went to Bend, and then on
to Sun River to spend the night.
On the last day of the trip,
the girls made a visit to Boulder
Dam on the Colorado River, and
also to Salem to see the Gov
ernor. The girls arrived back in
town last Wednesday evening.
ONE OF Cindy’s favorite sub
jects is the discussion of her
wardrobe which she wears to
all the Festival activities. This
includes five outfits, a raincoat,
and of course the formal Cindy
is to wear the night of the Coro
nation. Among her outfits is a
casual culotte and jacket en
semble. It is peach in color. Cin
dy’s formal, like all the other
girls’, is pink. It is sleeveless,
and has a sash that extends from
four buttons along the collar,
and down the back.
“EVERYTHING coordinates
together,” Cindy stated. “They
sure look nice and we have got
ten many nice compliments
about them.”
The girls have participated in
two parades already, the St.
Johns’ Booster parade, and the
Gateway parade.
CINDY WALDEN

Iko Tanaka bids farewell;
hard to think of souvenir'
“There are so many things
around here that are made in
Japan, that it is hard to think
what I will take back with me
as a souvenir,” laughed our
American Field Service ex
change student Yoriko Tanaka,
as she answered questions about
her leaving to go home to Tokyo.
IKO WILL be leaving Port
land on June 29, but before she
leaves the United States she will
visit Denver, Colorado, in order
to attend an AFS conference
there. She will then go to San
Francisco, and leave from there
for Tokyo.
Princess Cindy tells activities of Festival season
by Chris Hawes
“Everyone is so nice! We all
are just ourselves,” are senti
ments expressed by Cindy Wal
den, proud bearer of the title of
THE GRANTONIAN
“On May 25, we went to a
luncheon at the Gresham Cham
ber of Commerce, and instead of
sitting altogether, we sat among
the people,” explained Cindy.
“It was really great! I loved
talking to everyone, and hear
ing them say how great Grant
was.”
“I am to be first at the Coro
nation. I want just everyone to
come as it will mean so much
more to me if the school is there
behind me,” Cindy remarked.
“Everywhere I go, a lot of peo
ple ask which girl is from Grant,
not because they know me, but
they know our great reputation.
Some of the businessmen I meet
at luncheons and other activities
that have graduated from Grant
say it was the best, is the best,
and always will be the best! I
am proud to see my name next
to the name of my school—
Grant! We are the best!”
When she returns home,, Iko
plans to attend Expo ’70, and
then go to summer school, be
cause she feels that she will be
far behind in her Japanese stud
ies and doesn’t want to have too
much difficulty catching up in
September. She will graduate
from her all-girl high school in
March and then go to college,
where she plans to study either
Sociology or Psychology. She
hasn’t decided on her after-col
lege plans yet.
“THERE ARE so many things
that I liked about Portland, that
it’s hard to name just a few, but
I especially enjoyed Mt. Hood,
Sauvie’s Island and seeing the
Lovejoy Fountain,” commented
Iko. She has been living with
our AFS returnee from India,
senior Barbara Chattin, and her
family, and added that she will
miss them very much.
About AFS Iko said, “We all
feel like brothers and sisters to
each other, no matter what coun
try we’re from . . . and the neat
est thing is that we all try to
understand each other using
only one language . . . English.”
Iko was a member of National
Honor Society, French Club and
the Japanese Club here at Grant,
besides being active in the AFS
activities and working hard on
the AFS assembly held last
month.
As a parting comment Iko
said, “I wish to thank everyone
at Grant for all they’ve done,
for I’ve had a wonderful and re
warding time here; every day
has been fun and a new experi
ence, because so many things
happen. I hope to return back
here to visit again as soon as
I can«”
