we goronafion Cn the evening of Saturday, October 9, 1948, the students of Grover Cleveland High School gathered in the auditorium to await the coronation of the new Football Queen. Mr. Arthur O. Kelly, our principal, opened the program by describing the first Coronation, held in 1934, and telling us a little of the history of this tradition of Clevef land. He then turned the program over to Henry Bentz, President of the Senior Class. The curtains parted revealing a stage set in the Clympic theme, designed by Miss Knepper and her Stage Crafters. Majestic mountains, tall graceful columns, and other Grecian motifs gave the stage a regal look. In the center of the stage was a throne occupied by our Football Captain, King for the night, Joe Haenchen. ' Henry began his share of the program by introducing the football team, which appeared in football uniforms and took its place on benches on either side of the stage.
