Bob Kratoska, chauffeur for the royal coach, and Roland Han ' dns, escort, parade around the field with King Paul Frodge and Queen Betty Shaner after their coronation as King Manual VI and his Queen. Thrilled and happy, Paul and Betty return from their crown- ing via the carpeted path to their awaiting convertible. Queen Betty blots tears of joy with her chrysanthemum scepter. Many Grads Troop Back A standing-room-only crowd of present and past Manualites braved the unusually cold weather to witness a perfect Homecoming on Septem- ber 27. Preparations for the gala event actually began several days before with the selection of King and Queen candidates by Senior Home Rooms. An all-school vote elected the royal couple, but the outcome was kept secret until their crowning. Finally the big night arrived, and the enthusiastic crowd watched the Redskins roll up a 35-0 lead over Warren Central by the end of the second quarter. Our 85 -piece marching band initiated the half- time ceremonies by presenting a special show and then going into a tepee formation. The twelve candidates were escorted onto the field in six gaily decorated convertibles. Papooses LaRue White and Charles Hoene, smallest girl and boy fresh- men, arriving in the Smallest car, a Volks- wagon, carried the crowns. 12

When not performing at a football game, the band occupies reserved seats on the 50 yard line in front of the press box. Near neighbors are the Pep Club and together they provide a lot of noise to boost our team. For Gala Homecoming Pageant J2 w Twin freshman football players, Tom and Dick VanArsdale, rolled out the carpet on which the candidates promenaded to their positions on the field. Tom McCormick and Lois Strong Barnhart, ' 56 royalty, crowned Paul Frodge as King Manual VI and Betty Shaner as his Queen. The exciting game ended with the final score 70-0. It was the largest score for a Manual foot- ball team since 1923 and made this Homecoming one to remember. Freshmen LaRue White and Charles Hoene, traditional Homecoming papooses, start out on the field, bearing the glittering crowns that soon will designate the new royalty.
