The activities of this group were many and varied during the school year. The homecoming activities, including a pep fest and half-time ceremonies were planned by the Student Council. The date set for Homecoming was September 23. A pep fest was held in the afternoon. At seven o'clock in the evening, the band and twirlers led the 1949 queen candidates, the 1948 queen, Jean Bartsch, and football boys up through main street. A short pep fest was held uptown. At seven-thirty, a program was given around the freshman bonfire on the school grounds. Several alumni gave talks and the cheerleaders led the crowd in yells. Then the big moment came, the crowning of the queen. Football captain, Ray Zeman, crowned Barbara Anderson as 1949 Homecoming Queen. She had four attendants, Helen Muri, Doris Jones, Lorraine Wobschall, and Aleene Fischer. On behalf of the school, Ray presented Barbara with a gift, she expressed her thanks to the student body for the honor of reigning as Homecoming Queen.
