Sweethearts of service clubs acquire regal titles at Homecoming Newly-crowned Harvest Festival Queen Linda Reeder beams her gratitude at the applauding half-time crowd. Lighted faces and sparkling eyes mirror the thrill of Homecoming for Carol Young, Princess Marilyn Rogers, and Ginger Neill as they parade around the field. ’ Lost in a maze of crepe paper, tissue flowers, scotch tape, and chicken wire, harried Rebels completed floats begun weeks before as they worked until only a tew minutes before Homecoming. The floats, carrying the thirty-three princesses, circled the field as a prelude to the John Marshall game and preview of the half-time activities. Key Club members escorted the princesses trom tne field to seats at the fifty-yard line. During the half, students, parents, and alumni applauded queen Linda Reeder and her maid-of-honor, Jenny Kanary. The new royalty rounded the field on the winning Medical Arts Club float as the Rebels and Justices pre- pared to meet in the second half.
