Homecoming Highlights Below: Four nun of the St. Laurence school watch the passing of the Lara- mie High School Homecoming parade on Grand Avenue. In view is the D. E. Club float with Connie New as an added attraction. The parade, one of the most attractive the school has presented, was a prelude to the evening's football game and the annual Homecoming dance. n=nnn Dear L.H.S. Diary Aug. 31, 1959—The 1959-60 school year began as we registered in our first period classes for the first time instead of in study hall. Sept. 1—Today was the first full day in which all classes were held. Each grade had separate assemblies in the auditorium to locate seats. Sept. 4—We had our first pep assembly of the year today to pep the football team on to victory. Sept. 9—We wcro interrupted from one of our classes to have the first fire drill of the year. If there had been a real fire, most of us would have burned to death. Sept. 16—Plans for Homecoming, the selection of candidates, and plans for skits had been underway since the be- ginning of the school year. Finally the day arrived for skits and introduction of candidates to the Senior High. Skits were presented in the auditorium and voting was held during fifth period classes. Sept. 17—The long-awaited night of coronation arrived, and after sitting in suspense through the introduction of can- didates, M.C.'s Jim Hall and Frank Scott, announced attendants, Gail Boyd and Til- lie Greaves, and crowned Jeanne Long- pre Queen of the 1959 Homecoming fes- tivities. A snake dance and a bonfire, started by the students, were held after- wards. Sept. 18—Our Homecoming parade, led by the L.H.S. Band, was held this after- noon, with the floats which everyone had worked diligently on, and the candidates following. In the evening we lost our first Homecoming game in many years. Sept. 28—Mrs. Kessler had on a huge diamond today, and everyone was talk- ing about it. Sept. 30—The Junior Class voted on rings today in their English classes and selected ring number three. For this school year, September was a month of firsts; but for the seniors it was a month of lasts , as all months were meant to be.

THREE PRETTY MAIDS MAKE HOMECOMING ATTRACTIVE Homecoming traditionally highlights Laramie High's fall season. Much planning, hectic campaigning, and frantic decorating go on for several weeks before the arrival of the big day with its fun-filled activities. The 1959 festivities included choosing attendants Tillie Greaves and Gail Boyd, and queen Jeanne Longpre to reign over the colorful parade, the evening football game, and the dance following. Chauf- feuring the royalty is Mrs. Alma Johnson.
