HOMECOMING ACTIVITIES The Homecoming activities of this year were a huge success. Homecoming started off Thursday evening at 7:00 as the student body gathered for a snake dance beginning at the school house, progressing through the business dis- trict, and ending at the football field where pep talks were given by Coach Sutton and Queen Karen Stille. Following the tradition, King Bill McDonald burned the dummy representing Sutherland, our opponent. The following afternoon, a parade was sponsored in which four floats were entered. Placement went as follows: Seniors - first, Juniors - second, Freshmen - third, and Sophomores - fourth. During the half of the game, Karen Stille was crowned Homecoming Queen of 1955 by King Bill McDonald. At- tending Miss Stille were Joan Anderson, Senior Attendantg Linda Enderson, Junior Attendant, Lynette Mordick, Soph- omore Attendant, and Sherrill Peterson, Freshman At- tendant.
