Queen Norma Lubbers and her attendants, Marion Pitzen, Ethel Spindler, and Darlene Sauer, lead the parade on a beautiful white and blue float. On October 13, 1950, we held our annual Homecoming festival. The night before, we built a huge bonfire near the football field and gathered around for speeches and yells. When the bonfire died away we had a snake dance down- town. The next day a parade of floats, high school students, and grade students carrying posters, was led by Queen Norma and her attendants through the town and out to the football field to see the home- coming game. ' — — — Majorettes perform for the queen. These young subjects of the queen also took part in the previous evening’s festivities around the bonfire. The mighty sophomores built a float that represents the downfall of the Clinton Rockets, our opponents in the homecoming game. The junior class float represents two femi- nine anglers who have hooked Clinton and taken them down the river. 1950 HOMECOMING Number 37 breaks away for gain. Close on Milton’s heels are Fred Klodt and Jack Jarka. Last, but not least, the freshman float joins the parade. 29

Miss Appelquist checks coats. The Fish Pond—always a popular sport. We held our carnival on December 14, 1950. Booths were set over the bleachers instead of around the gym as in former years. They were decorated with crepe paper an colorful signs. The proceeds of these enterprises are put into the Student Activity 1 und. Before the booths were opened, the student body presented a program which included a one-act play and original skits. The students of BVHS elect a queen and a king to reign over the carnival festivities. Candidates are chosen from each class and then loyal followers sell tickets which mean votes for their candidate. Left to right above: Germaine Roerig, Robert McLane, Shirley Schiefelbein, Queen Gladys Reisdorf, King Leo Metz, Harry Ziemer, Norma Lubbers, Jack Jarka. Crown bearers precede royalty. The queen is crowned.
