Bunny Gregg To Represent
Salem At Azalea Festival
Sunshine, flowers, pageantry, and
celebrities equal the Azalea Festi
val and a gala weekend for Bunny
Gregg. Bunny will not only be on
the spot for the festivities (as many
Salemites will be), but will be an
active participant.
As Maid of Honor of the May
Court, she will represent Salem on
the Queen’s Court at the Festival
—this means a place of honor in
the parade and being one of the
Princesses at the Coronation Ball.
There will also be various other
activities planned for the Court-
parties, luncheons, and a tour of
the azalea gardens.
Needless to say. Bunny is excited
over the prospect of the weekend.
Besides the anticipated good time.
Bunny will be given a new evening
dress to wear to the Ball.
If 2nd Lt. Richard H. Marshall
can arrange to leave Fort Knox,
Kentucky, to be with her, April
6, 7, and 8 would certainly be per
fect days. (By the way. Bunny
and Dick are engaged as of last
Thursday night.)
Bu»ny, a Home Economics major
and a recipient of a primary leach
ing certificate, is president of the
Canterbury Club. She has worked
Bunny Gregg
in the Pierrettes and has been a
member of the IRS. She has also
been a member of the May Court
for the past three years—a fact
which makes her well qualified to
represent Salem at the Azalea
Festival.
