Both have played first-string varsity basketball for three years. Charles was a member of the 1946-47 district and State class ‘C’ record in the 220 yard-dash. Claudine was a member of the'Red-Devils softball team. For the first half of their Senior year, Betty Koonce and Louise Bourne, have attained the enviable scholastic record of B+.

Mr. deMille graciously consented and selected as this year's queen, Miss Frances Mouton. His letter, quoted in part, follows: “It was a great pleasure to judge the beauty contest con- ducted by the Yearbook of the Iowa High School. My inclination would be to declare for first place Miss Frances Mouton. Selecting one from the five lovely ladies submitted was indeed a very difficult task as they all have great beauty.
