Bulldog Court Special Maid Dee — — The location of the 1963 Homecoming Coronation Ceremonies was not actually the high school gym, but Cinderella's castle. Here a capacity crowd awaited in hushed expectancy the entry of the retiring queen, Gail Schott, which would officially mark the start of the ceremony. They waited and whispered, specu- lating as to who the new queen would be. Here the Bulldog Court paid their homage to the retiring and to the reigning royalty of H.H.S. The procession of beautifully attired girls and their handsome escorts surpassed any ever held before at Highland High. Each girl nervously but gracefully did the bows that she had been practicing for so long. The crowd gasped at the entry of each girl and heartily applauded their ap- proval as she bowed. But finally the long-awaited moment arrived, and the entrance of the first special maid, Dee Boulanger, came. The excitement rose to a peak when Karen Nungesser, the second special maid entered and everyone realized that Carma Braundmeier was the Homecoming Queen of 1963. Emotions were high, but graciousness prevailed as Retiring Queen Gail reluctantly, but happily, gave up her throne to Queen Carma, and Retiring Athlete Chuck handed over the reins to Ray Ramach. J. R. Frey Congratulations were in order and the entire stu- dent body extended theirs to the new reigning queen and athlete.
