66555- I-ll-LIGHTS IN ATHLETIC SCDCIAL , WCDRLD ......li,i1.....- There are several annual social events in the Athletic World of A. C. H. S. Some are the crowning of the king and queen of football, the football banquet and the crowning of the king and queen of basketball. The crowning of the king and queen of football is an annual affair which com- pletes the football season. This season, Jane Edwards and Lenard Kenney were chosen, The voting took place by secret ballot of the A Club and the G. A. A. At the crowning, all the building was dark except for spotlights. Ross Moore played assembly and Taps on his trumpet. As the A. C. H. S. band played, Paul Hanna carried a U. S. flag to where two thrones were constructed and stood there as the king and queen were escorted. Doris Cash led the procession, followed by LaVeta Baker, flower girl, and Beverly VanF'leet and Lyle Willett, crown bearers. As soon as the attendents had formed around the thrones the queen was crowned by Dean Anderson, president of the A Club and the king by Barbara McKe1vey, pres- ident of the G. A. A. After a salute to the American flag, and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, the procession moved off the gym floor. The queen wore a pink formal and had a crown of pink and white carnations. The king wore a black tuxedo and a gold crown. Another event much looked forward to is the annual Football Banquet. It was held in the Woman's Club building and was given by the Commercial Club. All the boys were there. After a delightful meal the boys heard Coach Harold Turner of Knox College, who talked about football. They also enjoyed a few comments by Dwight Selmon, star Knox player and Alumnus of A. C. H. S. Coach Reed and some of the business men also gave talks. During the meal they enjoyed music by a clarinet trio composed of Miss Spring, Lois Patterson and Dorothy Baker. At an all school dance sponsored by the G. A. A. on St. Patrick's Eve every- one was given a surprise when the king and queen of Basketball were announced. They were elected by secret ballot of the whole school. Dean Anderson and Lois Patterson were called out on the floor by Marie Pheiffer. Marie then crowned them with green and white crowns in keeping with the other St. Patrick's Day decorations. After the crowning Dean and Lois led the Grand March.
