CONTEST FOR BASKETBALL QUEEN One of the most exciting and important features of M. H. S. this year was our first contest for a Basketball Queen. At the beginning of the basket- ball season each class and club selected a candidate to represent them in the con- test. T he entire student body was very much interested, and each individual did his share in supporting his favorite candidate. Means of selecting the queen was by a majority of votes, which were obtained through the sale of basketball tickets. Four hundred votes were received for each season ticket and twenty-five votes for tickets to the various home games. At times this contest caused a great deal of excitement and suspense, especially toward the close of the season. The glorious honor of the first Basketball Queen of M. H. S. was given to Miss Marian Harlan. Marian is a member of the Junior Class and a repre- sentative of the Dramatic Club. She has proved herself worthy of support and has succeeded in attaining her reward for the work she has contributed. Marian has a very charming personality and her favorite hobby seems to be tennis, although she has taken an active part in a few other activities. June Fogle, one of the Queen's maids, represented the Pep Club. June is also a member of the Junior Class and was well supported by her classmates. She has taken part in several school activities and is interested in different sports and athletics. Ermel Raney, another maid of honor, was chosen to represent the Senior Class. She is a very charming girl ard with her winning smile, she has suc- ceeded in winning the friendship of her schoolmates as well as classmates. She has gained popularity and has had the ardent support of her many friends in the various activities in which she has participated. Eloise Barr, another of the Queen's maids, represented the Junior Class. Eloise is a typical blond with blue eyes. Although she does not participate in many school activities she is considered a good student. My! But the Junior Class certainly must be proud of such splendid representation in this contest.
