JONES Standard-Examiner Staff If there is anything more beau­tiful than a maiden in a hoop skirt and poke bonnet, it is 600 maidens on a spring evening wearing such costumes in varied colors and dancing to the music of "Tiptoe ' Through the Tulips". This was the scene in the White City ballroom Friday night as girls of Ogden high school staged their annual Classicalia pageant, the high point of which was the revealing of Emma Martin as the queen. Miss Martin is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Martin of 541 Twentieth. Her two attendants were Betty Smalley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Art Smalley of 2916 Adams, and Virginia Rockwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Rockwell of 2435 Grant. These three were selected by student vote from a large field of candidates. In Rainbow Shades The pageant was unanimously declared by observers to be the most beautiful of any that have been staged by the high school students. The girls were dressed in organdie hoop skirts in color schemes of pink and blue, rose and green and lavender and yel­low. With their bright eyes and winsome smiles in their flower- decked poke bonnets they won the hearts of proud parents and craz- ily costumed boys of the school who elbowed each other on the sidelines for a view as the girls tripped through their steps. Represents Spring The pageant featured the danc­ing of Myrtle Wright as Spring, who awakened flowers, who in turn released a number of butter­flies. The butterflies then awak­ened the hearts of roses. The queen was escorted about the floor in a chariot built in the form of a poke bonnet, with the ; butterflies forming the motive power. Other featured dancers were Arlene Greenwell, Bertie Bender and Mildred Van Dyke. Music for the pageant, played i by high school musicians under the direction of Glenn L. Hanson, consisted of "Sweet Bunch of Daisies," "Lilac Time," "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", and "Minuet In G." Mrs. Case In Charge The pageant was conceived and carried out under the direction of Mrs. Helena B. Case, physical education instructor. Assisting her with the costumes was Miss Margaret Corliss, and Mr. Hanson with the music. Weldon Taggart was chairman of the Classicalia committee. The Classicalia is presented each year to raise funds for pub­lication of the student yearbook.
