<DIV><FONT size=2>From 1908 to 1913 a king, Rex Oregonus, ruled over the
festival. The identity of this king was kept secret, and he wore a huge
beard to disguise himself until his identity was revealed at the
festival’s annual ball. In 1914, a Rose Festival Queen, selected from
among Portland’s socialites, was again chosen to rule. This practice
continued until 1930. From 1924 to 1929, Rex Oregonus returned to rule
along with the Queen of the mythical realm of Rosaria. </FONT></DIV>
