Nancy Walker Enjoys
Carrousel Festivities
Nancy Walker, Princess Albe
marle, participated in the 19th An
nual Carrousel activities in Char
lotte during the Thanksgiving holi
days. She was escorted to the
festivities by Kelly Jones, fresh
man at N. C. State University.
Nancy arrived at the Manger
Motor Inn for registration and
room assignments at 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday afternoon. She and
her parents and escort attended a
tea at the motel from 4-5 o’clock.
Later at the banquet the prin
cesses met the reigning Carrousel
King and Queen, Mayor Stan
Brookshire and Sharon Asher, and
the Queen who was crowned later
that evening, Lynn Burkholder.
Mr. Brookshire presented each
of the princesses with key charms
to the city of Charlotte. Then,
beginning with Albemarle, each of
them was presented a large and
beautiful crown.
The girls left by bus for the
Coliseum at 8 o’clock, where they
were met by their escorts and
were photographed. The Corona
tion Ball began at 9 o’clock. The
King and Queen’s court included
pages, knights, squires, heralds,
beef - eaters, ladies - in - waiting,
dukes, duchesses, and the prin
cesses.
After the new king and queen
were crowned, each princess was
presented to the king and queen.
Nancy was the first princess.
Kelly escorted her from the line
of girls to the long red carpet
which led to the thrones. She
walked alone to the throne where
she curtsied, and then returned to
her seat. The presentation of the
princesses was followed by enter
tainment, a banquet, and several
dances.
Thursday morning the girls at
tended a religious service and
heard a sermon intitled “Beauti
ful Women and Their Power and
Role.’’ Later, gifts were present
ed to the girls from stores and
shops in Charlotte.
The girls next had their inter
views with the judges who were
to pick the new Queen. Each girl
was asked four questions, and
Nancy was again first. Later in
the morning they went to the
North Carolina National Bank
building penthouse for the Mayor's
Luncheon. About 20 mayors were
there, including Mayor Garrison
and his wife.
That afternoon Nancy rode in a
convertible in the Carrousel Pa
rade, the theme of which was
“Songs of America.’’ Nancy’s car
was decorated to represent “Over
the Rainbow.”
At the dinner that evening the
name of Queen XX was an
nounced. She is Kathryn Walters
of Monroe.
Nancy stated that she would
like to thank all the people who
helped with her car, in decorating
it and making flowers, and also
everyone who came to the parade.
