ll Features 0 R Classes, homework, exams ,... these are not the only things that make up the school year. .The social events add color and interest to the life of a high school student. Remember all of the fun that every one of us had at the Football Dance . . . the Christmas Dance . . . and the Prom? These are the big dances that take place during the year, but what about those class parties? They were fun, too! A lot of hard work goes into the performances of the Junior and Senior plays, but those who take part in them are always so proud when the show is over, and everyone in the audience is pleased. These are only a few of the many special events that cling to our memory and make us glad that we are students of Dupo Community High School. fry -F 6 J

Retiring Queen MISS GLORIA POETTGEN Escorted by Jim White The 1958 Homecoming Dance was held in the high school gymnasium on October 11, 1958, in honor of our defeat over Roxana with a score of 7-0. The gym was decorated in maroon and white, and the throne featured a back drop repre- senting a scoreboard. The table tops rep- resented miniature football fields. A large maroon and white football was suspended from the center of the ceiling. Music was furnished by the Columbians. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the 1958 Homecoming Queen, Miss Nancy Hanks, who was escorted by Ron Henkey. The retiring queen, Miss Gloria Poettgen, was escorted by Jim White. The five nominees for the Homecoming Queen and her court are chosen by the Varsity Club. The candidates are voted upon by the entire student body and the girl receiving the highest number of votes is the Homecoming Queen.
