HGIIDOHINC The second annual Homecoming since the beginning of the war was held on October ll, 1947. It was a beautiful day, perfect for the parade which assembled at the school and began it's march around town at eleven - thirty that morning. The band headed the parade followed by floats entered by several classes. Again this year, first prize was awarded to the seniors for their inter- pretation of a bull fight. Goodman was the victorious toreador and Laona, our opponent for the day was the defeated bull. At two - thirty that afternoon the crowd gathered at the football fisldlto watch the g ms between the Goodman and Leona teams. It was a very close game ending in a tie, seven to seven. The Alumni Banquet was held in the Catholic Church basanent at six o'clock that evening. 'Jake' Forrest presided as toastmaster, and the en- tertainment was furnished by high school students and Mr. Holland. A great crowd was present at the rvmnasium that night to dance to the music of 'le Three.' At ten o'clock the Homecoming queen, Bettv Richards, and her court, Shirley Houghton, Shirlev Vogels, Marjorie Shively, Carol Graetz, Mary Lundberg and Patsy Smitham, entered. The queen was crowned by Jim Ellsworth who was the football captain that day. After an eveninr of fun and dancing, the day ended as one of the most successful Homecomings ever. EVENT OF TH YEAR At this writing, the Junior Pram plans are being madeg here's what thev've decided. The theme, 'Ol Wisconsin', has been selected for this centennial year, and all decorations will follow through the idea. The big date is May l, l948. And our school and stats colors, red and white, will be carried out. King Bill Draxler who was elected by the class is also chairman of the prom. Working with Bill are Agnes Olson, his queen and chairman of stage decorations, Kathryn Stankevich, chainman for orchestra arrange- ments, and Miss Irene Krause, the junior's advisor, and the guiding hand behind all arrangan nts. Other members of the class are assigned to the stage decorations and to the window posters depicting the history of Wisconsin, The curtains will be drawn on the stage, and an outsize map of Wisconsin will be put on then. The balcony will hold an Indian scene. The-orchestra engaged is 'Joe Val- enta and His Recording Orchestra', who regularly play at the Recreation Building in Wausaukee. The juniors are trying something newg they are having the orchestra on a platfonn in the center of the floor. They are also sending invitations fi till llulllle With this 'new look', we hope they recapture the exciting spirit of the pre-war prams---with all their trl mings, dance programs and punch.
