Calumet’s biggest and best homecoming 1959-60 Royalty Sherry Carl, Homecom- ing Queen, and Jim Spicer, Mr. Football. We ' ll never forget what a cute couple they made as they walked out on the dance floor, after Jim ' s receiving the pigskin; Jim, so mighty and Sherry so tiny. On a damp, cold evening, a large crowd gathered and excitedly awaited the kick-off for the 1959-60 Homecoming game. Soon a whistle blew loudly, the ball was kicked, and a great roar went up from the cheering crowd. Thus the game was under way; and despite a rain-drenched field, it ended in a victory for the Calumet Warriors over the Penn Kingsmen. Highlighting the rainy evening, twelve lovely floats carrying radiant nominees paraded throughout the surrounding area and around the new but muddy field. At the half a quiet hush fell upon the once noisy crowd, for the awaited moment finally arrived! Petite Sherry Carl was crown- ed Homecoming Queen, 1959-60. She toured the field before her loyal subjects upon the winning float, which was made by the Homemaking Club and portrayed an Indian Summer theme. Following the game, everyone crowded into the gym to dance and witness the presentc tion of the game ' s football to Mr . Footbal I - Jim Spicer. Hard work and co-operation between the student body and the administration made Homecoming 1959-60 the biggest and best. 1 1

Twelve floats and queen candidates lead The blaze of the raging bonfire not only warmed the damp, chilled bodies of the crowd, but also the hearts and school spirit of everyone who attended . A crap game on school time? No,- its only Carol Elboar, Estelle Keck, Carol Mehok, and Sondra Marsh making a few mock bets on the outcome of the Homecoming game during a student assembly. An appropriate theme with materials designed by the Unique Creator, straight from Nature, enabled the Homemaking Club’s float to rate first among eleven others- -all suitable for a queen. 10

Anyone for popcorn? Popcorn is the favorite supplement for a good basketball game. John Nee- ley, Varsity Club member, sells popcorn tq Carol Cooper as Jim Kostelnick and Ed Ellch wait to buy other refreshments. Everything from foul play to bad rules were practiced in the mock game of Calumet vs. Froebel during the sectionals. Playing are: Pat Purnell, Paulette Victor, Ethel Babbitt, Sherry Carl, and Sherry Warren. To cheer the team to victory, the cheerleaders lead the student body in various cheers to warm their spirits before the game of the evening. Popcorn for games and Boy Cheerleaders? Well, Calumet had them for the first time during the mock basketball game of the Loyalty Day skit. The girls played and the boys cheered.
