Queen Marge Morgan Football Centennial This was the centennial year of American football. Although, unlike many games, this sport was not the result of a man sitting down with the intention of creating the rules and objectives, but was instead an evolutionary de elopment from ancient kicking contests. American football had chosen ovember 6, 1869 as its official birthday, for on that date Rutgers and Princeton met to battle awav with a pigskin, odd-shaped ball. They played witli few rules recognizable today, a little protection from bruising tackles, but this only goes to show that football is in a state of constan t creation. From its beginnings, football has been associated with the schools, as part of the educational process. This aspect of the sport has remained. Findlay High gridders were honored at a half-time celebration commemorating the anniversary. The team selected Marge Morgan as football queen. She was crowned at the ceremony.

Sno-Queen Jackie Lizotte Mistletoe Magic The girls of Fiiullax High gol (luir hi t ciiaiice of 1969 (o ask that certain special gu for a date, as the GAA sponsored a winter formal. With the reverse in dating protocol in effect, both hoys and girls learned to appreciate their partners difficulties in asking and accepting or refusing a date. Some hoys were ensnared in the two-offer tra[). Many girls were overcome witii indecision or fear. Rut judging by the turnout, these minor difficulties did not stop them. The floor was crowded, the music was loud, but somehow she saw nothing but him. The conversation raced up and down iiundrcds of allevs. or drifted off as a couple danced in silent tlioughts. Jackie Lizotte. senicir. was chosen as the queen. Her rising laugh and li cly ways added to tlie gaiety of the festival. Mistletoe Magic caught each girl's fancv and convinced the boys. 13
