Frank Mercer, student body president, presided as Master of Ceremonies at the Coronation. Cheer- leaders entertained the queen and court as well as spectators with an array of cheers.

The victor, Cathy Shadrick, was an exceptional bearer of the crown. Sophomores voted Pearlie Thomas to be their representative. 25
