MARCH 24, 1929 COSTUMES GAY AT OGDEN HIGH CLASSICALIA The Classicalia, the annual car¬nival dance of the Ogden High school, was held at the Berthana Friday evening. Spring with its dainty' pinks and greens was the motif for the gala party. Festoons of spring, blossoms around the walls and streamers suspended from the chandeliers lent an air of daintiness to the dance. Gay fantastic cos¬tumes blended in a riot of delight¬ful coloring. The queen's procession struck a keynote of daintiness and beauty. The two heralds announced the coming of the queen. To the strains of "The Sweetheart Girl," from "Maytime," the procession emerged From the blue room. Four little flower girls from the Reed School of Dancing, in dainty pink, strewed rose petals before her majesty, the Queen of Classicalia. Margaret El¬lingson, the maid of honor 'in a green gown, was followed by the maids in lavender, green, pink and yellow. The maids were Blanche Heed, Evelyn Van Dyke, Verna Taylor, Louise Emmett, Dorothy Wallace and Leona Crockett. Following the maids came a gorgeous chariot of pink petals, drawn by two striped butterflies, and driven by little Mary Hopkins. In it sat the queen, Miss Marvel Kenney. The queen wore a gown of white satin trimmed with rhinestones. On her neck was a neck¬lace of emeralds, and over her shoulders a green velvet cloak, lined with gold and edged in ermine. On her head she wore a glittering crown of rhinestones. Two butterflies in black and red and the two pages in white satin followed. Next came a, floral extravaganza, four girls in gorgeous exotic costumes of pink, green, yellow and cream. Peter Pan and ten dainty fairies in white and gold followed. Two Robinhoods then escorted the ladies of the court. Four birds rolled a huge egg be¬fore them and afterward came the bees, the elves and the frogs. A spring tableau, drawn by two Robinhoods, was formed by ten dancers in yellow. The procession halted before the throne where the queen took her place as ruler of the carnival. A large pink rofee on a curtain of green hung directly behind the queen, and four lighted roses on a bank of green cast a soft light upon the queen and her maids as tliey sat around her on the dais. Two courtiers then brought a basket and placed it before the throne. From it emerged Audrey Clark who danced and gave a gitt from spring to the queen, a bouquet of jonquils. The girls of the tableau then ex¬ecuted a beautiful dance, and the subjects of the queen marched be-fore the throne. The grand march was led by the girls of the Home Economics club. The paigeant was formed by the girls of the school. The heralds were Naomi Armstrong and Evelyn Upton; the proclaimed Viola Teuscher: the flower girls.
