It was the homecoming game with Pierpont, and the crowning of the Basketball Queen which took place between the two games. Beverly Stev- ens and Loraine Carter introduced the procession with a fanfare on their trumpets and Johnette Eakin played the processional on the piano. Two very pretty twins, Rhea and Ruth Blake, all dress- ed up in red and white dresses, led in the proces- sion. One carried the flowers for the queen and the other carried a red pillow with the gold crown and an envelope with the queen’s name in it. They were followed by the captains of the two teams. Art Wilkinson, Kingsville, and Sidney Case, Pier- pont, escorting the queen of three years ago, Mar- ian Lilja. Then came the candidates and their es- corts. The Senior candidate, Ruth Simak and her escort, Richard Simmons; for the juniors, Jean Wil- liams and Richard Mandrake; the Sophomore can- didate, Barbara Cedar and her escort, Glenn Beardsley; and Linda Westcott and Roy Bean, rep- resenting the Freshmen. Art Wilkinson slowly opened the envelope, took out the paper, and read the name, returned the paper to the envelope, looked around and then led our queen, Jean Williams, amid the thunderous cheers to the throne and presented her with a kiss. Marian Lilja crowned her and Sidney Case gave her a dozen red roses and a kiss. All the candidates had corsages of yellow rosebuds. There was a time allowed for taking pictures and then the cheerleaders led the crowd in the Alma Mater. The twins and then the queen led the procession out.
