Competition Willi Fifteen
College Queens
Miss Marian Clark of S. M. U. was
crowned All-College Queen at the All-
College Coronation on Friday night,
October 18, 1929.
Lillian Horlock, Rice's representa-
tive to the All-College Coronation,
bttftght' back an interesting account
of the affair.
Fifteen colleges were represented in
the contest.
The selection was made at a dinner
party whioh was given Friday night
in the Crystal Ball Room ot the Baker
Hotel. The girls, their escorts, and
chaperons were in attendance.
During the progress of the dinner,
entertainment was offered for the ben-
efit of-the spectators. At about 11:00
o'clock^ the girls and their escorts
marched around the room. Then the
girls were Introduced.
Each girl then walked around the
room once, following .which the girls
and their escorts danced. Then fol-
lowed a general danse during which
time the Judges made their decision.
Miss Horlock wore an ivory satin
dress, fitting close, with a circular
skirt and the fashionable uneven hem-
line. Long earrings completed the
ensemble.
The game Saturday afternoon and
the Queen's Ball Saturday night com-
pleted the program planned for the
participants. At the Queen's Ball,
Miss Horlock wore a flowered chif-
fon evening dress with a taffeta coat
to match and hat and shoes of pale
green.
Carl IUlg says that he enjoyed his
official duty as escort. He and Miss
Horlock bom expressed delight at the
beauty of the Crystal Ball Room, the
crystal chandelierB lighted by blue
lights sending a hazy glow of sofness
over the long tables.
The following men have been work-
jing out regularly and are practically
lassured of places on the team: Cole-
| man, "Punk" Cummlngs, Fletcher
Brown, Phil Renn, Davidson, Tru-
man Douty, Tom Horton, and Wallace.
