Homecoming festivities started on a high note with the coronation of Sharon Anderson as Home- coming Queen and Dick Wells as Homecoming Marshal. The senior attendants were Margaret Ryland and Morgan Thorsheim. The juniors elected Shirley Brown and Larry Anderson. The sopho- mores choose Peggy Stewart and Brian Crane to represent them, while Darlene Brown and Don Abel were the freshmen attendants. After the coronation a pep fest was held at the ball park with cheerleaders directing it. High school and commercial floats composed the par- ade that was held on Friday morning. The prize winning floats were, most beautiful--music float, most humorous--FFA float, and the most original—freshman float.

BANQUETS OCCUR IN THE FALL Initiation in the fall, the first highlight of the freshman year, found the girls tramping around in shoeboxes for shoes and boys attending classes, attired in ladies shorty pajamas. The FHA-FFA annual pheasant feed was one of the early social events of the school year. The FFA boys furnished the pheasant, while the senior girls planned and prepared the menu. The sophomore and freshmen girls were responsible for the clean-up. The seniors entertained the faculty at the senior pheasant feed. The senior mothers prepared and served the meal. An after-dinner program, consisting of several Hammond organ selections by Kirke Pratt, of Bryant, a vocal solo by Mr. Soug- stad, and several cornet solos by Brian Crane, completed the evening. 4. I guess those girls can cook! 5. “Oh mighty seniors of 56 ’, chant the freshmen during initiation. 1. Farmers and home- makers enjoy pheas- ants and fellowship.
