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.

Traditionally Meier and Frank has offered hair grooming as a bonus to
the wardrobe provided.
Make-up is given with pleasure to the delights o f the princess by a chosen
artist from M & F Beauty Salon and Skin Care Center. Instruction in
grooming (most important) and finesse in the “ how-tos’ * o f poise and
charm was presented by yours truly, Cora Smith, in the auditorium o f
Meier and Frank. The basic skills featured were how to model, wave, shake
hands and greet an audience.
Barbara Giesy is the wardrobe director for the Rose Festival. She selects
the wardrobe from companies like Vavrivan (which provides accessories
such as purses and jewelry), Kafoury (which provides blouses and
rainwear), Nike, and Oregon’s own three— White Stag, Jantzen, and
Pendleton.

The setting o f the Coronation— for those o f you who have not previously
viewed this event— offers an exceptional treat this year. The Rose Gardens

Reed Stage Productions. Enter Margie Boulie and her burst o f song— center
stage is focused and we hear— “ As the Parade Passes B y. . . Everything will
be coming up roses.” A newsboy enters shouting, “ Extra, extra, read all
about i t . . . . ”
