Letters to
the Editor
Dear Frontiersman:
Enclosed is an on lookers view
t>f the! Wasilla Carnival!
We cranked up the flivver for
a shopping trip to Wasilla, got
in on a good day, as there was a
big Carnival at the school. We
decided to take it all in as it was
mir first time out in a long time,
and we were going to enjoy it.
The hall was full of people and
we stood in line for tickets. The
teachers really had some good
side shows. Attended the style
show, we were made conscience
we needed some new clothes too.
We ate and seemed to drink gal
lons of coffee, visited with friends,
bought home made goodies and
topped the day off by having.our
fortunes told—she told me some
mighty nice things too.
After buying more tickets on
on the electric blanket we wat
ched the girls arrive all dressed
up in their formals for the Queen
contest, and made us wish we
were a bit younger.
Finally the big event started
and those judges were going to
have a hard time as they all look
ed pretty up there. There were
nine contestants which gradu
ally got to two. One girl was be
ing given a rough time. We took
our hat off to her as she never
seemed to notice and kept on
aniling. Those kids that forgot
ifoier manners only made us ad
mire her more.
Everyone was sitting on the
‘-sdge of their chairs, those judges
were going to have a hard tune
now. The Queen finally came out
and then her court. She wi>
rowned Queen of' the Carnival
. and then presented flowers by
lire miriest Reeder girl. We learn
ed1 the Queen's name was Cledia
Thomas, runner up was Colleen
Teeland.
We decided to stay for the
dance and Grand Mareh/Besides,
I wanted to see if we won the
electric blanket. Still winter
where we are.
The Queen drew the winning
ticket, and Benny Cottel won it,
fee* al/wuys: was lucky.

After much dancing and an in
termission ,the Queen lead the

left soon after, but really enjoy
ed the carnival.
Before we left, we heard Was
i 1 la won the Trophy for Good
Sportsmanship in Basketball and

Talking over our day and all
the events, we remarked ti was
a shame more good sportsman
ship wasn’t in evidence among

test—But that girl showed them
up by acting like a real Queen
would. Good Luck Queen.
