Carolyn Calvin, Betty Bland! Gcorgene Siucrt 0 After the traditional snake dance through thc main streets of Denison, D. H. S. students gath- ered around a huge bonfire south of the Court House. At the bonfire a new idea was carried out suc- cessfully with each high school class presenting a pantomime featuring some of the students as Den- ison and Carroll. In the senior skit, Denison fought Carroll for Miss Victory's hand in mar- riage and won. The Juniors portrayed Denison and Carroll dueling. The defeated Carroll was thrown into the bonfire. The Sophomores pre- sented Red Riding Hood, Victory, as the object of a Denison and Carroll dispute. Of course, Deni- son won Victory. The Perfect Crime was given by the Freshmen. Denison with his one body- guard found Carroll backed by two bodyguards hiding behind a door-Carroll was overpowered and shot. Numerous school cheers echoed through the night and the band helped with appropriate pieces. Friday afternoon the student body marched up town shouldering colorful pennants. Each high school class, the F. F. A. and eighth grade decor- ated floats for the parade. In the main section of town the cheerleaders led the students in school cheers, following which Terry Knott, Monarch captain, gave a short address, The crowning of the Queen, Betty Brandt, by Coach Wilson was the highlight of the parade.

Homecoming, October 12, saw Carroll defeat Denison for the third straight year 25-6. Denison bounced back to victory over Missouri Valley 38-13. Denison lost an offensive battle to the Sac City Indians 26-25. Confident of victory, Deni- son met Storm Lake, at Storm Lake, but due to the fact that two touchdown runs of 75 and 45 yards, respectively, were called back. they went down to a 20-6 loss. The season ended with a thriller against Harlan Armistice Day. Officials ruled the touchdown, that would have proved a Denison victory, was made after the game ended and Denison lost 12-7.
