ONALITIES AR
CORONATION This giant coronation held in Chapel crowning the campus dignitaries Mr. and Mrs. Friendly upper classmen and freshmen; Home-
coming Queen Harvest King and Queen Class Favorites Beauties and Who's Who was held February 2.
In an impressive ceremony the
dignitaries of Howard Payne Col-
lege were presented in Chapel
Thursday Feb. 2. Here is a com-
plete narration:
Into the Palace where all good
things end
Rode the Prince and his Glass
Slippered Bride and a friend
The Fairy a very old friend of
the Kings
Though rather a haughty and
critical one
Rode in on her stick so much
faster than wings
To bless the young couple and
join in the fun.
And if anyone dared in her
presence to say
Cinderella was lucky to make
such a catch
She said: "Not at all it's the op-
posite way
Your Prince is the one who made
a good match."
And everyone danced in the city
for days
And nights for the city was light-
ed for a week
And everyone shouted such hip
hip hurrays
That no loyal subject was able
to speak.
There was feasting and fireworks
music and laughter;
The national happiness couldn't
be hid.
And the Prince and Pincess lived
happy thereafter
The storybook says and I think
that they did.
Some twenty-five years later if
time can be counted
We find our fair Cinderella and
her Prince
Now King (Eddie Roger) (Music
CRES) Queen (Janie Ellis)
ruling over their Court
Among the most popular most
beautiful most friendly
Are placed on their own chargers
the young Prince (Jim
Woodle) (music cres) and
Princess (Alice Dickenson)
Who reign at sometimes for spec-
ial occasions
When Spirits fly over to leave
invitations
To attend one and all the Hal-
lowe'en Carnivals.
From over the real comes the
Lords and Ladies
Chosen from many in their own
Domain
To be listed as outstanding in the
roster of Owls.
