HOMECOMING QUEEN JUDITH MEINERT Queen Judith Meinert raised her royal scepter and declared the 1957 Homecoming festivi- ties at Davenport High School officially under- way. Following the proclamation, the Queen and DHS student body were entertained at a special Homecoming assembly program. At the assembly, the Queen and her court, consisting of Mary Beth Peil, Rebecca Emeis, Mary I.ee Miller, and Donna Arp were for- mally presented to their loyal subjects for the first time. Trophies were awarded to home- rooms and organizations for outstanding floats and displays. That night Davenport High’s unbeaten Blue Devils encountered the Moline Maroons in the traditional Homecoming game. After a hard fought battle in which the outcome was often in doubt, the Imps emerged victorious by the score of 7-0. Pre-game festivities included the presentation of the queen and her court. Queen Judith’s reign was officially brought to a close the following evening at the annual Homecoming dance. Victorious co-captains A1 Behm and Frank Low presented the Queen and her attendants with the winning game ball autographed by every varsity team member. 5
