longer. Miss Owner was selected from a field of five nominees.

Peggy began her reign with
the presentation ceremony fol­lowing
intermission as each of
the five queen candidates, with
her escort, was led on to the if loor
in front of the bandstand. First
to come forward was Mary El­len
Doyle, then Darlene Mc-
Connell, Peggy, Carole Lynn
Reinhart, and Barbara Vesle-dahl.
Following the crowning of
the queen by Joan Garland,
Master of Ceremonies Leo Dodd
presented Peggy with a dozen
red roses and a charm bracelet,
the gift of the junior class. Each
of the princesses received a red
and white feather nosegay.
In a white dinner jacket, Dr.
Keith Murray, as adviser of the
Junior Class, began the first dance
with the new queen, signalling the
start of the second half of the dance.
THE APPROXIMATELY three
hundred couples who attended the
dance were greeted at the entrance
by pink and red decorations set
off with blue, green, red and white
lights, which reflected off the nearly
3,000 flowers prepared and put up
by the Junior Prom Committee. At
intermission the dancers were serv­ed
pink lemonade and pieces, of
sheet cakes in four shades of red.
Couples had their pictures
taken against a background
which had the thematic mask
on one side and "Exotique" spel­led
out on the other. Pictures
are presently being processed by
Benson's in Everett and will
be given out on the main land­ing
probably early next week.
CO-CHAIRMAN OF THE AF­FAIR,
Dennis Fish spoke for both
himself and co-chairman Nancy
Parker as he said that both he and
Nancy "were extremely pleased with
the way the Junior Prom turned
out." The two expressed their ap­preciation
to everyone who helped
them in their efforts to promote
the dance.
WHDLE STDLL IN the process of.
gathering in small but needed props
for the spring quarter play, "Out
of the Frying Pan," the backstage
crew has gotten most of the needed
equipment and is in the process of
finishing the set.
MARK FLANDERS, leading
the technical production of the
play said that most of the
equipment and sets have been
prepared but there is a large
amount of work to be done on
the sets to make them look like
a finished product.
"Next week we will start experi­menting
with the lighting, for we
need some extra lights up front on
the curtain line to illuminate the
action that takes place in that area,"
said Flanders.
Director of the play, Dr. Wil­liam
Gregory, referring to the'
problems facing him in the
theatrical part of the produc­tion
said, "Our main difficulty
is to get technique and timing
in our remaining rehearsals.
We must get every move down to
the N'th degree."
"EVERY MOVE THE audience
sees is meant to be seen just that
way and we must make it seem
like it happened spontaneously,"
said Gregory.
"THERE IS NO SUCH place as Tibet," the USSR Security Council
delegate constantly insisted at the MUN in Los Angeles. This sign
of Tibet was ordered removed from the MUN because the Nation
is not a UN member. (See full story of MUN on page three.)
