Reserve cheerleaders; and Evelyn Hinkle, Janet Hinkle, and June Bartrum, Varsity cheerleaders. Basketball Queen Saturday, the 39th of January, proved to be an exciting evening for all who attended the Kingsville-Pierpont Homecoming game. The colorful event of crown- ing a basketball queen was spiced with two exciting, action-packed games. The gym and balcony were filled to capacity. The big event took place between the reserve and varsity games. As the players cleared the floor, a red satin-covered throne, mounted on a platform, was placed under the basket at the west end of the gym. All was ready. The sound of Ed Weaver’s trumpet silenced the crowd, and. with Carol Oren playing the proces- sional march on the piano, the candidates, accompanied by their escorts, made their way to the end of the gym where they formed a semi-circle around the throne. Leading the candidates was Bernice Fisher, last year’s queen, who was escort- ed by Pierpont’s captain, Pete Wilson, and Kingsville’s captain, Ronnie Hanson. Following, was the senior candidate Rosa Magons, escorted by Bob Ball; junior can- didate Evelyn Hinkle, escorted by Russel Westcott; sophomore candidate Janet Hinkle, escorted by Victor Tiscenko; and the freshman candidate Nancy Westcott, escorted by Buddy Beardsley. At the end was little Ellen Lafferty, who carried in the envelope on a satin pillow the name of the new queen. When everyone was in his place, Captain Ronnie Hanson opened the envelope and seated the new queen, Rosa Magons, on the throne. Then the former queen, Bernice Fisher, placed the crown on Rosa’s head. Ronnie saluted the queen with a kiss on the cheek. Next, a bouquet of red roses was presented to the queen by Cap- tain Pete Wilson, of Pierpont, and he also saluted Rosa with a kiss. All the candidates had received yellow rose corsages before entering the gym. There was then a short pause while time was provided for taking pictures. Then the cheerleaders led the crowd in singing the Alma Mater and the queen and her court marched out between an aisle formed by the cheerleaders. Congratulations to the queen and her court. It was a truly lovely ceremony, «and one which will be remembered for a long time.......................... Basketball Champs Congratulations are in order for the Kingsville Kings basketball team.
