' THERE'S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME Plastic was prac
tically unheard of in the early days of the festival and
when nature "acted up" and showers came, royalty
bundled in fur coats that hid pretty frocks. 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. In front of queen, left, is Bonnie Woodard, right,
is Susan Fairclo. Back row, senior princesses, left, Cherry

BITTER FEUD Herald and News Photographer Don
Kettler "nigh came" to getting nipped when he hastened
up to get proof of this burro battle during the parade.
Burro at right probably thought burro at left was travel,
inq too close for comfort and whirled about to settle
score. Back to camera is Alonzo Hodges, Merrill Lion,,
who rushed to fray. Gentleman at right, headed for the
hills, did likewise.
