HOME TOP PHOTO: Fort Benton High School's band marched in the homecoming parade. BOTTOM PHOTO: Many youngsters entered the parade in various costumes. Fort Benton High School's Long- horns knocked the Conrad Cowboys out of the running for the Class B Northern Division football title with a 7-6 victory over Conrad at the 1964 homecoming game. This victory climaxed the parade and the crowning of the 1964 homecoming queen, Linda Leeper. Classes began work on their floats about one week before the game, and much hard work and tis- suepaper was put into their making. These floats were presented in the homecoming parade, where they were judged. Also a part of the parade were the high school band, candidates for homecoming queen, cheerleaders, and the costumed small-fry. Seniors entered the float, Boot 'em out of first, and received a second prize for their efforts. 12 Sophomores worked hard on their float, Your Goose is Cooked, and were rewarded with third prize.

Mary Herries introduces her friend Lucy Weston to the man who will eventually take over her life. The drunken Peter Santard admires a piece of Mary Herries fine sculptures, while his fiancee Phyllis looks on disgustedly. Kind Lady, a mystery drama, was presented as the fall play on Nov- ember 8 and 9, 1963. The Class of 64 sponsored the play, with Mr. and Mrs. Alan Goller as directors. For their fine work, the Gollers were presented with a wool blanket during the Saturday night performance. This play required more acting than last year's plays because it was a drama instead of a comedy. All partic- ipants put forth a great effort to make this play a success, but at the same time they continued to do their school work as usual. Miss Foster denies receiving a letter which will save Miss Herries. Ada and Henry Abbott relax before pictures are taken for the annual. The crews receive recognition for their behind the scene work.

COMING During half-time of the game, the homecoming queen was announced, as well as the winners of the float com- petition. Winners were: 1st place: freshman; 2nd place: seniors; and 3rd place: sophomores. The annual variety show was held the night of homecoming. Attendance was high, and many alumnae were seen enjoying the skits and musical numbers. The Acappella Choir sang two numbers, and the Stage Band played a number of selections. After the var- iety show, the B on the hill was lighted by the FFA, providing a sen- timental atmosphere for alumnae, and soon-to-be alumnae, as they attended the homecoming dance. TOP PHOTO: Cheerleaders, Diane Leeper, Sue Nottingham, and Marilyn McDede, formed colorful part of the homecoming parade.
