On Friday afternoon, November 4, the colorful parade, led by the Band, the queen candidates in convertibles, and the football players, began at the school and went through the streets of Bement. The football game that night fulfilled our anxious anticipation as the Bulldogs defeated Cerro Gordo 48-7. The band, under Mrs. Dunscomb’s direction, put on a novel half-time show with the queen candidates introduced during the show. After the game, a breath-taking coronation took place against a rainbow setting in the big gym. Co-Captains Denny Ferguson and Bill Morris crowned Donna Steidinger queen. Dancing to the music of Danny Martin’s orchestra followed in the small gym, which had been transformed into a gold and white ball room.
