A Reality In memory of the late Mr. Lowell Johnson, Student Council President Danny Baker and Secre¬ tary Cindy Strobel, presented Mrs. Johnson a me¬ morial plaque. In turn Mrs. Johnson turned it over to the school to be displayed in the hall. Further explaining his Russian travels, Mr. Leon Johnson talked with Hud Freeze and Tom Wheeler after the convocation. Many changes were made in the school system and confu¬ sion resulted from this. Class¬ rooms were shifted due to the new addition and to make one hall of the school strictly jun¬ ior high. Mr. Dominquez moves some Spanish articles into his new class¬ room. The band, girls ' and boys ' pep squad all seated on one side of the gym gave added spirit to the Railroaders. Post-graduate, Joyce Sigler, returned to CHS to pick up courses needed for nurses training. 29

Queen Carol Rugman receives a con¬ gratulatory kiss from co-captain George Hathaway after being crowned by co-captain Jim White. Homecoming Four senior girls were chosen by the sen¬ ior class to be their representatives in the Homecoming Queen Contest, sponsored by the Pep Squad. From these four girls the basket¬ ball team members chose the first Garrett High School Homecoming Queen. Underclassmen chose one girl from their class to represent them in the Queen ' s Court. Each girl was attired in a floor length for¬ mal and carried a white muff adorned with red roses and fernery. An escort chosen by the representative accompanied her to the center of the gym floor while the band played Love is a Many Splendored Thing and the Pep Squad made a red heart with red and white colored flash lights. As the girls were escorted to the center of the floor, Terry Harter, master of ceremonies, gave some highlights of each girl ' s school activities. Then came the final moment, Carol Rug- man was announced as the 1964 Homecoming Queen. Co-captains Jim White and George Hathaway presented the queen with her crown and bouquet of long stemmed roses. The queen and her court sat on the beau¬ tifully decorated stage with white pedestals and red roses and a big golden moon in the background during the Homecoming Game. Representing the underclassmen in the Homecoming Court were Debbie Buckles, freshman; Polly Anne VanZile, junior; and Cathy Barcus, sophomore. Senior Homecoming Queen candidates shown with co- captain of the basketball team, Jim White, were Diane Mil¬ ler, Linda Fleet, Carol Rugman, and Peg Redmond. 20

Second semester two new faces were added to the faculty. They were Mr. John Meyer, art teacher, and Mr. Ed Mahnesmith, junior high teacher. All School Musical Joins As we shot rockets at the moon and the political candidates started their cam¬ paigns for president, GHS students worked on their science projects and attended stu¬ dent seminar sessions. Semester end brought an unexpected holiday, and we experienced an unseason¬ ably warm winter. Ken Yingling practiced diligently before placing first in the band contest. Mr. George Pearson found his new office very adequate for counselling Maynard Strawser and Tom Wolpert. 30
