Always spectacular, always so amazing, all functions in the Azalea State Park during the two-day festival were more than enjoyed by the hundreds who came to witness the 1951 edition Of Brookings spring event which has become? almost nation-wide in appeal. Because of its breath-taking Setting among many colors of azaleas, the coronation of the queen each year is said to have the greatest photographic ap peal to dozens with movie cam eras, kodaks of all sizes and de scriptions. Adding much to this year s the azalea chain, festival inaugurated by Dorothy Lock- land, who has this to say: “Thank you. girls of the Azalea Ring, for adding a lovely touch of pageantly to the coronation of Queen Beverly. Thank you for spontaneous response of applause and good sportsmanship when Shirley Bowlin’s name was drawn 1 for the turquoise bracelet. Thank you for sharing your time, beau-! ty and grace to salute our zAalea State Par k with its annual fes-I lival, which is an expression of Ihe splendid community spirit of this area. The coronation spectators, all seated on the knoll of tin* look out at the park, wen* given in spirational treat Saturday after noon. Heralded by Jerome Nich ols’ fine coronet solo, Shirley Bowlin led the first Azalea Ring down the path between the nat- mal in their lull glory of bloom.

Melody Brimm had an exceptionally fine science display, some star maps which were carefully and neatly made. One flower book was sign ed “Elizabeth, I love you’’ and I never did find out who Eliza beth is. Don’t you wish you knew really? Robert Berger had an attractive drawing of a calla lily, and Anna Ettinger’s trees were; green as green could be. Mrs. Jermark who made the awards had a very difficult assignment, I and debated and studied a long time before she reached a deci sion. In the dish garden class, was one called “Fairyland” by Marilyn Brown. Marilyn spent a lot of time on this and it was so sweet and pretty! And d d you see the painted handkerchiefs Gene McGrady made? Beautifully done! Sq carefully and neatly executed, no smears, no blurred edges! Carol Rausch had a drift wood arrangement which I ad mired very much. I can’t men tion all the arrangements, but 1 thought they were very nice. Mrs. Lockland who conceived the idea of the garland chain for ■ the queen’s escort of high school girls, gathered some women about her and they worked for days and days making that chain. But ; it was very effective, and added to the beauty of the occasion. Martha Grayshel said we have worked so hard in past years, put 1 on such large shows, striven for the purple ribbon award, let us this year just enter our flowers, bring them together and let us land Ihe community enjoy them! ¡Well! Even that was work and1 required days of preparation! A very nice show it was, too.

And rhythm to the strains of ‘Pomp and Circumstance,’ rounded the curve of the path—a truly thrill ing sight. LaVerne Landauer made a beautiful finish to the chain with the end of the gar land around her shoulders as a stole. “As the girls formed a circle around the throne, they made a perfect setting in the natural amphitheatre for the arrival of Her Royal Highness, Queen Bev erly I, and her coutr. “After the ceremony, Azalea । Ring followed the royal court to | the entrance of the park, formed | a circle around the stone drink- I ing fountain and dropped the i fitting climax huge garland to an artistic tributi* to youth and beauty.
