PORTLAND

FESTIVAL

At Rose Festival time, Portland presents 10 days of beauty, pageantry and excitement. We invite our friends from out-of-town to share in our fun and are happy to serve as guides as they visit our parks, museums, zoo, theatres and stores. Some of our most enthusiastic community boosters moved here after visiting Portland on this happy occasion. We have an area richly endowed by nature. Our mountains, ocean beaches, clear streams can be reached by short drives along uncrowded highways. Most of the year we take our pleasant living for granted. Our most welcome Festival visitors help us see the City of Roses in proper perspective.

Mayor, City of Portland

The combined efforts of thousands of volunteers has produced this 55th annual Portland Rose Festival. Each event is the result of endless hours of time and talent utilized to provide opportunity for you to enj a gay, interesting and mem orable ten days in the City of Portland and our State. Your pleasure is their reward.

MERRYKHANA

PARADE

SATURDAY

JUNE 8 8 p.m. (DST)

MERRYKHANA PARADE ROUTE

The frolicking funsters in the Portland Rose Festival Merrykhana Parade will take a new route this year. Starting at the Memorial Coliseum, the parade will cross over the Broadway Bridge and then through the downtown business district along Broadway.

The gay floats, loaded with happy paraders, can be viewed from comfortable seats inside the Coliseum. Parade tickets for the Coliseum, selling at $2, $1 and 50c, are available at the Portland Rose Festival Office and at the'Memorial Coliseum.

The “King of Fun” rules over this parade. His identity is kept secret until just before the procession emerges into the bright lights of the big arena.

Entertainment is the aim of the floats, the novelty groups, baton twirlers, marching units and bands.

Fierce cavemen and gunfighters, mighty-lunged bagpipers and homblowers, pretty dancing girls and sadfaced clowns keep the crowds roaring with laughter.

FRIDAY

JUNE 14 1:30 p.m. (DST)

JUNIOR ROSE FESTIVAL PARADE ROUTE

FRI. JUNE 14 130 P.M

JUNIOR

ROSE festival parade

Youngsters with initiative each year put on their own Junior Rose Festival Parade. If they have four wheels, they have the basis for a float — with the limit set by their imagination.

Clowns, acrobats, and characters out of story books are created from materials found in attics and basements.

The East Side event will follow the same route as last year, starting at N.E. 52nd Ave. and Sandy Blvd. The lead vehicle will start the parade at 1:30 p.m., Friday, June 14.

With more than 10,000 boys and girls participating, the Junior Parade has become the largest parade of youngsters in the United States.

Grand Marshal will be Terry Baker, All-American football star at Oregon State University, who was graduated this year with honors.

Baker, a Portland resident, won the Heisman award for the best football player in the nation. He also played three years of varsity basketball while he maintained high grades as an engineering student.

Also riding in the parade will be the queen, princesses and escorts of the Junior Rose Festival Court.

AND CORONATION PROGRAM

Pageantry and tradition, evolved during 55 Rose Festivals, help to make the annual coronation a dramatic event. Before an expectant crowd, Monday, June 10, in Memorial Coliseum, the judges w make their difficult selection of Queen of Rosaria. The court is composed of 12 lovely princesses, each representing a Portland high school. The rating chart below is the one used by the official judges. You can make your own selection, using the same criteria.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

The 1963 Rose Festival Stage Spectacular, a fast-paced show in the Memorial Coliseum, has a top star lineup which includes Frank Fontaine, Shari Lewis and Homer & Jethro.

Shows will be June 11 through 16, with the opening curtain at 8 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and 2 and 6 p.m., Sunday.

Fontaine, the singing comic on the Jackie Gleason television show, has recorded one of the top-selling record albums. He has appeared in 12 motion pictures and has made guest appearances on all the major television shows.

Shari Lewis, who has appeared on NBC-TV color in her own production, has enthralled millions of children with her puppets, Charlie Horse, Lamb Chop and Hushpuppy. As a dancer, singer and magician, she has appeared on the shows of Jack Paar, Dinah Shore and Ed Stillivan.

Crown Princes of Corn, Homer & Jethro started their careers as country musicians. Their musical parody

has given them the title of Tin Pan Alley’s wrecking crew and has caused grey hairs among the song writers.

The two-hour show also will include show-stopper Francis Brunn, former Ringling Bros, acrobat; the Bumpy Spectaculars, tumblers who have been labeled Ed Sullivan’s favorite family act; and Gene Holter’s Racing Elephants. Johnny Matson, musical comedian, is the master of ceremonies.

Reserved seat tickets are now on sale at the Memorial Coliseum box office. Prices are $2.50 and $2.00 for reserved seats with general admission prices $1.50 for adults and 75 cents for children under 18.

A free daily attraction at the Coliseum from June 11 through June 16 will be the Rose Festival Food and Product Show in the exhibit hall. Cook-off contests, gourmet demonstrations and hundreds of displays and exhibits of food products are some of the features of the Northwest’s first major food show.

Cook-off contests will be in five categories: Sweet treats, meat or main dish masterpieces, teen-age feasts, men on the range, and Oregon famous food features.

A casual, 100 per cent wool shirt dress by Pendleton is in small white and beige checks, with beige leather tie belt.

The stunning ball gowns by Cahill Ltd. are of pole yellow chiffon. They feature a bell silhouette with floating panels at the rear.

The queen’s ball gown is similar to those of the other princesses, except that the bodice is of white peau de soie with Alencon lace beaded top and scalloped neck.

Accessories include white patent leather shoes with mid-heels and square throats, from Meier & Frank; white patent leather clutch purses from H. Margulin; long white formal nylon gloves, from Hansen; white rough straw matador hats from Rhodes; white satin net windbonnets from Rhodes; one-piece Merry Widow foundations from Warner; South Pacific shade hosiery from Hanes; pearl earrings and one-strand pearl necklaces from Irwin & Poul.

Youthful folk with a zest for living have a natural affinity for the amusement rides at the Festival Fun Center. The large array of attractions assure fun for the entire family, from little tots to spry grandmothers. The ferris wheel pleases those who like a view with their rides, while

the old-fashioned merry-go-round maintains special appeal to the nostalgic. Teenagers, seeking a faster pace, gravitate toward such rides as the octopus, roll-a-plane and the loop. The bright colors, catchy tunes and everpresent cotton candy all add to the holiday atmosphere.

75“ANNUAL PORTLAND ROSE SHOW

The Portland Rose Society was organized in 1889—11 years before the American Rose Society. The nation’s oldest rose show celebrates its jubilee this year.

in the United States, the show’s 5,000 entries require space to a football field. The 15,000 blooms come from as far as Vancouver, B.C., Medford, Ore. and Boise, Ida.

The society has designated the Ena Harkness as the official rose for the queen of the Rose Festival. Other roses have been selected for each of the princesses.

The festival court will be honored by the Rose Show officials at a luncheon in the Sheraton Motor Inn-1 p.m., Thursday, June 13.

The Portland Rose Show will be open at the Sheraton Motor Inn Thursday, June 13, from.l p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Theme this year is “75 Years Young.”

the center of a scenic wonderland!

Nature was bountiful when scenery was distributed to Oregon. And Portland is strategically located for visitors who want to enjoy the outdoor beauty spots. Within a few hours drive are glacial peaks, sandy and rocky coastal beaches, gentle farming valleys, fishing streams and mountain lakes. With more and more people discovering the state’s attractions, tourism has become a major industry.
