 Who's got the bestest team in the state? Well, we've got the bestest team in the state and the trophies to prove it, too! This impressive row of trophies represents the winning or sharing of the NEKL crown 17 times in the past 18 years and the posters show the won-loss record since 1956. Mr. E. J. Logsdon, sponsor of the senior class of 1955, who presented the Lion, took part in the unveiling of the bronze statue in a December assembly. Although their attempts at typing term papers seem to be in vain from the looks of the wadded paper, Justin Rice and La Donna Tillotson keep their spirits up working together. 22

Homecoming At the end of two question-filled weeks, queen Virginia Schubert, and her attendants, Janis Mull and Nancy Carey, were crowned during the half of the Lawrence-Leavenworth football game. Although the final votes were cast by the student body the Tuesday before Homecoming, the name of the queen was withheld until the following Thursday evening when a dinner was held in honor of the queen and her attendants. Participating in the coronation were members of the LHS band and Pep Club who formed a huge crown on the field. In the midst of the crown were the three thrones upon which the girls sat during the coronation ceremonies when they received their bouquets of roses. The queen and her attendants were escorted to the thrones by Steve McNown. Tom Sego. and David Stinson while the band played Let Me Call You Sweetheart.'' Immediately after the game the girls were taken to the Stardust'' decorated gym at the High school where they reigned over the remainder of the fes- tivities. Radiant in her white floor length formal, senior Virginia Schubert was crowned queen of Lawrence High's 1959 Homecoming during halftime cere- monies at Haskell field. Virginia has been a cheer- leader and member of the A Cappella Choir for two years. She is also interested in sports and participates in many of the intramural programs. Virginia is a very attractive girl with a pleasant smile and pleasing personality. Her good taste in clothes and well-poised manner enhance her beauty. Very friendly, though reserved, Virginia has many friends not only in her own class but a- mong the underclassmen as well.
