This year, the ohaperones, Mrs. John Short of Henley, Mrs. Arthur E. Evans of Malin and Mrs. Johnny O'Neill of Merrill used yards of plastic to swath the court on the royal float. Curls were curls and dresses were dry after folks along the parade route had enjoyed looking at beruffled turquoise net formals and rhinestones worn by senior prin cesses, pink frocks of the junior cuties and the white sat in gown and rhinestones of her majesty, Queen Coleen at rear.
