Queen Hale King McDonnell Coronation Held for New Royalty Under “The Eternal Flame for Victory” Charles McDonnell and Peggy Hale were crowned to reign over the 1968 Homecoming. The royal attendants who had also been vying for the honor were Karen Alger, Ruth Arends, Steve Bortness, and Dave Splettstoesser. Per- forming the coronation was Roger Splettstoesser, mar- shal, who had defeated Chuck Henson in a close run- off election. This year the traditional class skits were eliminated. Instead, a general skit compiled of students from each class was presented. It was entitled “YeOlde Highmore Wax Museum” and depicted a football, portrayed by Ginny Johnson, reminiscing thirty-two years later about this Homecoming game. The band and mixed chorus also provided entertainment. Following the recessional of the newly crowned royalty, a rousing pep rally was conducted. Morale was high as students anxiously awaited the Homecoming festivities of the next day. 13
