One of the highlights of the yearls social events arrives comparatively early on the school calendar. This is the staging of the coronation of the Football Queen, an annual event which climaxes the Homecoming cere- monies established a few years ago. The Queen evolves from a procedure estab- lished by the Student Council, and super- vised by that organization each year. Under its auspices the candidates are nominated by the senior home rooms and elected by the student body. In order to win this honor, a candidate must receive a majority of all votes cast. The Queenls Court consists of the four girls who followed the winning candidate most closely on the final ballot.

CHAPELS Each year at F.H.S. chapel programs are presented by all home rooms, the Student Council and the Tri Hi-Y and Hi-Y Clubs. A special presentation toward the close of the school year is also made by representatives of the Senior Class. Findlay High School chapels are based upon the moral and spiritual needs of the stu- dents. Such important topics as personality improvement, qualities of religion, better relations in the home and the school, under- standing of foreign customs and ideas, racial and religious brotherhood, and highlights of historical events are included in the services. 'k'lri k'k Chapel services are presented, on the aver- age, once every two weeks on Wednesday morning. Persons participating in the capa- city of speakers or choir members gain a more vivid sense of self-confidence, better poise and improved public speaking ability. Young orators gain much valuable experi- ence in writing their speeches for public pre- sentation. A regular chapel service combines the home room cast of speakers with the choir under the direction of W. O. Jones. Special presentations of poetry or vocal or instru- mental solos by members of the participating body may also be included. 'k'A'1k1k1k Scenes at left show three Findlay High school chapel programs in progress. Top photo shows the senior chapel speakers of 1952 with the senior choir in the back- ground.
