Columbia “ Headlines of History" Portland's Women's Health C e n te r- Alternative Birth Center The year 1907 was when it all began. . . T H E F IR S T A N N U A L Rose Festival was held and Carrie Lee Chamberlain, daughter o f the Governor, was Queen Flora o f the Festival. In 19I4, the first Rose Festival queen selection honored Miss Thelma Hollingsworth. The custom of selecting “ Rex Oregonus” (King) was discontinued. The present system o f selecting queen and court from Portland High Schools, one representing each school, was adopted. In 1936, the Junior Rose Festival became an official part o f the Portland Rose Festival. To the delight of many Oregonians, the fun center was established as an integral part o f the Festival etc., etc., etc. The present day festival is building up momentum. The date of the 1982 Queen Selection and Coronation is slated for Friday, June 4 in the Civic Auditorium at 8 p.m. and the mystery o f it all will fulfill one princess’ fantasy o f being crowned the new Queen o f Rosaria— her reign to be one year. Closure o f two high schools in the Portland Public School District reduces the 1982 court to eleven princesses. The Cinderella Syndrome begins with pampering from head to toe.

Scheduling and routine A Rosarían, with a Benson driver, will pick up each princess at her home in a beautiful new Pontiac and return her at the end o f the day’s activities during Rose Festival Week. Prior to Rose Festival activities, parents must accompany their princess to the starting point and transport them home daily. Court protocol is tight— rules and guidelines are set by the Rose Festival Directors— as the community watches— no smoking, no drinking, sunglasses permitted only for certain occasions, no excessive jewelry— and most important— they must always be ready according to schedule, so that no one is kept waiting. Parents’ involvement varies according to their schedule. Usually parents receive invitations to attend various civic Cub meetings, such as Portland Chamber o f Commerce, Kiwanis Luncheon, etc., on a no-host basis. i* w- ** unlimited Resale Clothing 'F irs t Q u a litv The Second Time Around ** * M en s.
