Memories of this magic night will live long in the hearts of three starry-eyed girls, who, for a few brief hours, became rulers. The 1956 Coronation ceremony, during the halftime of the Lawrence-Shawnee Mission game, began with a parade of the royal party and their escorts around the football field followed by the crowning of the Queen, Sharon Hazelet, dressed in the traditional white. Her attendants, Doris Evans and Jane Perry wore beige, pink and gray. The entire event took place in the center of a huge crown formed by the Lawrence and Shawnee Mission bands. The Queen, selected by the football squad and the student body, was escorted by John Brown, President of the student council. Her attendants were escorted by Bob Driscoll, and President of the senior class and Alan Endacott, Secretary of the senior class. The End of a Perfect Day— — The rulers and their escorts atop their Stairway to the Stars, reign at the Homecoming Varsity.

Jerry Hall represented the team in presenting each girl a football signed by the members of the victorious Lion squad and the coaches. Doris Evans, Sharon Hazelet, and Jane Perry, anxiously watch the game from their cars after the coronation as the Lions trounce the Indians, 27-0! A new tradition was started this year. A red cape bearing the symbol of the Chesty Lion was given to the school to be worn each year by the Queen. : The words We've got to win! We’ve got to win! Let's go! , typify the win- ning spirit of the Lawrence Lions, ignited by these five, peppy cheer- leaders. Although being a cheerleader is a great honor, lots of hard work and energy was put forth by this group, as, with a yell and a burst of enthusiasm they spurred the team on to victory. In addition to this, their ability was further displayed at Norman, Oklahoma, this summer when they won second place honors at cheer- leading camp. B-team cheerleaders Barbara Dunlap, Sue Squires, Nancy Miller, and head cheerleader, Jeannie Wheeler inspired pep at B-team and Little Lions games. Mary Arnett, A-team alternate, cheered at games when a regular could not attend.

Nine foes fell victim to the mighty lion squad as the Red and Black totaled 316 points and gave the opponents only 44. The lion squad, strong in size and ex- perience, received their first scare on the opening play of the season when a Manhatt Indian carried the ball for a touchdown on the kick-off. This run twisted the Lion's tail and they came back to win the game 28-6. Manhattan never threatened again. Lawrence center, Jerry Webster, suffered a knee injury and was lost for the season. All Kansas football fans turned their eyes to Topeka the following Friday to see the state’s two top teams renew an old VARSITY.

The Trojans pulled rpeat preformance when they ran the open- kick-off for a TD. But again the Lion ngth came from behind to mark up a 12 win. A1 though they displayed their best team ■ears, the Atchison Redmen took their : loss at the hands of the Lions 35-6 he home bench was cleared in the first ’ue game. Once feared Shawnee-Mission proved an ' victim when they lost 27-0 in the lecoming game. The Lion's defense w the Indians for large losses forcing n to surrender the ball too often. Most of squad saw action again. The Lion's then traveled to Leavenworth chalked up their 5th straight. Quarter- Wrench hit 6 for 6 passes, three for :hdowns - Lion's 47, Leavenworth 6. The Lawrence coaches take the a 11-victorious season of the Lions in different ways. Howard Menlinger, backfield coach thinks it's great! Clark Coan, Little Lions coach, can't believe it! Alan Woolard, head coach, takes it in his stride after six victorious seasons at L.H.S. The victory doesn't seem real to Max Rife, Little Lions coach, and Jerry Rogers, line coach.
