The task of selecting a Queen from this horde of delectable lassies was thus rendered somewhat arduous, but the judgesDeans Bill, Strong, and Neidlinger—managed their ordeal fairly successfully. The interesting point about this, as the D. O. C. announcer informed everyone at the ski-jump the next day, was that the selectionwas on the level. This frankness was startling enough, but for some reason or other, the announcer further insisted that the judging this year wasn't fixed, that the officials this year were unbiased, that this year everything was on the up-and-up—and thereby succeeded in convincing all listeners that the old, old legends about previous Carnival Queens might very possibly be true, after all. Nevertheless, Miss Dorothy M. Phillips, who won first place on the Dean's list, turned out to be a very pleasant young lady indeed, and did "more than Carnival Queens have been asked to do in the past" with right good will.
