 lthough mixed emotions prevail as we pack away swim suits and golf clubs and bid farewell to another three months of carefree summer fun, the prominent emotion in most is eagerness---eagerness for the active school life once again. The settling for our many fall activities is one of autumn-time beauty. It ushers in foot- ball, marching band. Homecoming, Band Festival and the Student Council Convention. These are the days of falling leaves, hazy weather and gray-wood smoke. Soon the trees are bare, frost is in the air and the swiftly passing fall months are fading into a beautiful Minnesota winter. 25

Capers As the lights dimmed, an air of hushed expectancy fell over the packed auditorium. Suddenly the majestic strains of Pomp and Circumstance broke through the silence, proclaim- ing the beginning of LHS Homecoming, 1959. The beams of the coronation hall spot lights first caught court pages, Marilyn Swanson and Ricky Olson, bearing the royal robes and crowns. Following them in, in measured and stately steps were the princesses: Dixie Winge, from the freshman class, Vikki Golla, representing the soph- omores, Sharon Ladd, chosen from among the juniors, and Virginia Hora, visiting princess from the Philippines. Last down the aisle were the senior royalty candidates who were resplen- dent in their court finery. They were: Lois Iverson and David Smith, Kay Anderson and Dale Hansen, Vivien Atkinson and Dick Jordahl, and Shar- ron Jacobs and Don Phillips. A hushed audience strained for- ward as Roger Madison, Grand Marshal, ended the weeks of wonder- ing and waiting. Amid the cries and cheers of their subjects Dick Jordahl andSharron Jacobs were ceremonious- ly crowned King and Queen of Cardinal Capers of 1959.
