  • "Class meetings are called...nominations...voting...a queen is selected from the seniors. Twelve other  pretty misses are elected to be her maids--one from each grade.  They select a king and knights.  Yards  of satin lace and tulle...buttons and bows...saws, hammers,  paint...nimble fingers, strong hands...long hours...all are important when you crown a Camellia Queen.  
  • But a royal court must be entertained, too.  New Year and Father Time worked together and ushered by a parade of dancers and drills--the Calendar Cavalcade--before the Court  interspersed with solo dance and glee club members.
