At eight o'clock a large crowd witnessed a very exciting football game with the Danube Hawks defeating the Sacred Heart Vikings 19-14. The final event was the Homecoming Dance with the theme, Red Sails in the Sunset. The dance began with the traditional Grand March headed by the radiant new queen, Cheryl Mueller, whose escort was co-captain Dick Mattson. Following her, came her attendants. The dance, with music supplied by Mark Larson and his band from Wlllmar, ended a jubilant and beautiful 1965 Homecoming.
