Seven coeds take final
step to crown
Grid stars lauded ,
’60 queen tabbed
at Red-Gold lunch
Last Friday, Nov. 18, in Harbe-
son Hall, a surprised young lady
from the Art Department was ac¬
corded the honor of reigning as
Pasadena City College’s Red and
Gold queen.
The coed in question, lovely
Barbara Cinke, was selected by
her fellow students under the
penny vote method. All in all,
PCC students donated $304.17 to
elect the queen.
Miss Cinke was named queen
at the Red and Gold luncheon,
during which the members of the
Rose Court announced
after weeks of judging
Barbara Cinke
. . . wins Red-Gold title
1960 Lancer football squad were
also honored. The young lady
was crowned queen by Pasadena
Mayor Ray Woods.
Following the presentation of
the queen and the football team,
Lewis B. Sanborn showed a film
on the breathtaking sport known
as sky-diving. This sport, as Mr.
Sanborn described it, involves par¬
achuting from a plane and not
opening the parachute until a spe¬
cified time has elapsed.
While the chutist is in the air,
he performs various gymnastics
and in this way can control his
flight. The sensation of sky-diving
is said to be unlike anything else
known to man.
Men only were allowed at the
luncheon, which was held during
the 12 o’clock hour. The excellent
food came from Gwinn’s restau¬
rant and was served by mem¬
bers of the AWS Cabinet.
Seven of Pasadena City College’s loveliest coeds stepped
up to the ranks of royalty last week when the Tournament of
Roses committee bestowed upon them its highest honor.
Named to serve in the official capacity of tournament
hostesses through the New Year’s activity, the chosen seven
az-e Cindy Gillette, Terree Hammontree, Pamela Jean Mac-
Lean, Nancey Ann Mellen, Sheri Rice, Mary Lou Thomas, and
Carole Washburn.
One of the girls will be named queen of the rose pageantry
next Tuesday in a climactic ceremony.
THEIR IDENTITY was made known last Thursday by
tournament president Arthur Althouse. The announcement
was the result of over four weeks of intense judging and
elimination procedures from an original group of 2200 Lancer
women' students.
Standing in the picturesque garden of the Wrigley Man¬
sion, which now serves as the official headquarters for the
Tournament of Roses Association, the final 25 candidates for
the royal court waited silently for the results.
Spontaneous smiles and tears came from winners and
losers alike as the sealed envelope was torn open and the
tournament court was announced. Cries of congratulations
surrounded the smiling winners, and large bouquets of red
roses were presented to them.
