Homecoming Crowd Surrounds Vicki After Annual Ceremony At the close of the coronation a crowd of students rushed on stage entering an atmosphere of tears and happiness to congratulate the lovely queen and her gra- cious attendants. Homecoming was truly one of the most exciting and memorable days of my life. As the curtains parted, I felt a closeness to the student body that will always be a cher- ished moment in my life, remarked Queen Vicki Jo about her day as queen. After the coronation ceremony excitement subsided, various homerooms and organizations hurried to com- plete their floats for the Homecoming parade down Broadway. The winner of the ten dollar prize for the best float was the Art Club. The traditional Queen's potluck which followed the parade was held in the cafeteria this year with over 200 girls in attendance. Several talented girls staged a mock coronation which was enjoyed by the performers and on-lookers alike. The perfect day was topped off with sports enthusiasts and loyal fans cheering the Tigers onto victory in which they clobbered the Mankato Scarlets in a 44-O win. Following the exciting game, the Homecoming Dance was held in the boys' gym with the Chancelors provid- ingthe entertainment. SMILING HAPPILY, Mary Beth Lukecart bears a chilly wind to ride in the 1968 Homecoming parade down Broadway.
