and their families and the visiting queens. It is enjoyable because I have always been seated near Dorothy and Russell Jlarbaugh. Dorothy (Moore) was the first Alaiah and she is the recipient of many good-natured remarks when she is introduced at the banquet. In fact. I have reason to believe that the date of her coronation may conveniently be forgotten in years to come by officials making introduce tons; however, her husband, and certain friends wall always be about to issue a remind* r I prefer to refer to her as the veteran queen unless she gets unruly and then I would be forced to give exact dates. I'll look forward to the 25th Arkalaiah and a visit with Russell and Dorothy . . , Everybody mentioned the candidates for queen this year in « favorable light. It didn't seem possible that fi\e such attractive girls could be attending the local Junior college. They carried on in royal fashion and there wasn't an Arkansas Cityan who wasn't happy to claim them. At the start of the parade Harry Gibson had some anxious moments when Sue Huffman slipped through the floor of the queen s float. As a matter of fact there was no floor. It was an open space covered with paper. Sue insisted the wasn't hurt so the show went on . . . Several persons mentioned to me before Arkalaiah that Miss Gail White, who was also Miss Kansas, had been offered a Miss Kansas float but refused it. Since Gail was a candidate for queen and the balloting had been completed, 1 saw ifo reason to go Into the story. However. I would like to know the name of the person or persons who made the statement. I attended a meeting long before Arkalaiah in which it was suggested that a float be put in the parade for Miss Kansas. Everyone seemed to think it would he a good idea, but there was one Important question: If Gail became a candidate for Alaiah and was one of the five in the finals, who would ride the Miss Kansas float? The queen and her four attendants make up the court and they ride the queen’s float. The suggestion that a MissKansas float he entered was stopped right there. No offer was made to Gail. That is the only time I heard the Miss Kansas float mentioned and I wouldnewsprint. If the total press run were stretchedout it would be 31 inches wide and 15 miles long.• + *Two of the foremost cowboy** of the Blue Stem country t*»**k up residency in Memorial hospital this week and neither suffered injuries by being thrown from a horse.
