 Anchor Appleton! By Thursday afternoon the usual Homecoming spirit have overtaken old C. H. S. As usual the sun was behind the clouds and it was getting colder by degrees. However, a very fes- tive spirit was evidence in the students as they joined in the yells led by the Bomber cheerleaders. Pep talks were given by two senior members of the team, Harvey Christianson, and Russel Emmons, for whom this Homecoming is the last. Friday morning, as we all tumbled out of bed after having worked on our floats until the wee hours of the morning, we discovered that although '.he day was very chilly, the seniors ’56 had finally succeeded in anchoring the sun high in the sky. To the strains Huldigungsmarsch being played by the Canby High Band, Queen Bosalyn Eischens attended by Elizabeth Bockes, Marjean Ekern, Sandra Reynolds, Phyllis Christianson Joyce Mickelson, and Sonja Thorpe came in to take their respective places on and around the throne. They were escorted up the steps by Harvey Christianson and Leonard Jenssen. We were told by Mayor Aasen not only to fight to win the game but also to have good sportsman- ship and school spirit. Micheal Rosten presented the crown to Patty Craigmile,'5U Homecom- ing Queen, who crowned Queen Rosalyn. Carol Christianson presented the Queen with a bouquet of red roses. The student body rose and sang Hail to the Queen after which everyone pre- sent left to attend the parade. There were many people gathered on Main Street to watch the many clever and beautiful floats. The parade was led by the color guard and the band. Although it was very cold that evening a large crowd braved the weather to see the ex- citing football game between the Canby Lancers and the Appleton Aces. The game ended with a final score of 20-6 in favor of Canby. During the hald the Canby High School Band under the direction of Mr. Anderson presented different maneuvers, finally forming a guard of honor through which the prizewinning floats were drawn. Queen Rosalyn and her attendents were seated on the first float-a creation in white trimmed with red roses. The freshman class won first prize with a theme of Outplay Appleton. Second prize went to class of 60 with the theme Anchor Appleton. The seniors with Tohight Will Tell and the class of '61 with Skunk the Aces tied for third. After the game many teenagers attended the Homecoming Dance which was sponcered by the Student Council. The dance was held in the old gymnasium. The end of the dance brought to a conclusionof 1955 Homecoming activities—a Success with a capital S.
