HOMECOMING On October 16-17, the High School held their second Annual Home- coming festivities. Thursday evening saw the crowning of Jean Bergan as our queen to reign over the activities. Jeanette MacDonald and Betty Dauner were her attendants. Her majesty was crowned by football co- captains, Kenny Leverson and Marv Spillum, following a variety show under the direction of Mr. Sundet in the Community Building. The ball park was the traditional burning of the West Fargo dummy. A snake dance wound up the evenings schedule. Friday's activities started with a parade at 1:30 p.m. The high school band-followed by the floats of the queen, classes, and organizations -led the parade through the business district to the gridiron. Our homecoming slogan Be Wackers, Beat Packers, backfired on us when the West Far- go Packers whacked us 54-0. The Alumni Association sponsored the dance held Friday evening which saw the conclusion of 1952's Homecoming. 31

Bob Dahl, LHB HAWLEY OPPONENTS 24 Shanley B-6 6 Fargo B-0 12 Dilworth-25 6 Casselton-24 '1 Fargo B- 20 18 Moorhead B-6 0 West Fargo-53 0 Oak Grove-14 WON - 3 LOST - 5 Arlen Nelson, LT 5 S Duane Fogel, LE Byron Hiemark, FB SCOREBOARD The Nuggets started out the 1952 season in fine fashion, balancing good offense along with a good defense to grind out an 18-point victory over the Shanley reserves. This balance seemed to deteriorate as the season progressed, and was fully evident in the final games. The Fargo B game, during the fall festival, furnished Hawley with their most exciting win of the season. The Nuggets captured the vic- tory in the last five seconds of play when Bob Dahl fired an aerial to Kenny Leverson in the end zone. The Locomotives racked up their first Minn-Dak victory by downing the visiting Nuggets, and then rolled through the rest of their schedule undefeated to gain the conference crown. The Squirrels also gained their first conference victory at the ex- pense of the last place Nuggets. Moral dropped lower in the Hawley camp, and resulted in a loss to the Fargo Central Bees in the second meetingbetween the two clubs. The Spud reserves gave the Nuggets a good battle, but ran into trouble stopping the end sweeps which netted us all three touchdowns. The Packers scored at will to hand us our second Homecoming game defeat in as many years. Our switch to the split-T formation still couldn't garner us a con- ference win. Several Nugget drives were stalled deep in Grover territory by staunch defensive work. Don Hannestad accounted for a large share of the Oak Grove yardage on drives through the center of the Hawley line. Four seniors played their last game for HHS, Arvid Nelson, RT Eldon Braun, C 30
