This whole boisterous affair began with the snake dance winding through town to Cent- ral park. The bonfire was lit, and then came the big moment! Lovely Carol Fundingsland was our 1953 Homecoming Queen! During halftime at the football game, a fanfare and Let Me Call You Sweetheart, played by a special girls' band, introduced Queen Carol and her attendants. That evening, to the strains of A'Blue Moonf' the dance theme, the queen and her attendants walked to the throne. The blue lights and silver moons and stars made a very effective setting for the dancing, which students and alumni enjoyed until the Blue Moon wancd and Homecoming was over for another ycar.
