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

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

Bowlin led the first Azalea Ring

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.
The art chairman, because the
! hall was smaller than the school
gym where the show was held
in former years, limited the show
ing to recent works of focal ar
tists, and obtained a cartoon ex
hibit which she hoped would be
the entering wedge toward bring
ing Portland artists here to art
future.

very hard on the festival. And
rhythm to the strains of ‘Pomp
and Circumstance,’ rounded the
curve of the path—a truly thrill

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
