omccommci Jrltdliltcgltta A hushed assembly stood at atten- tion when the bugle call sounded at exactly 10:15 o'clock Friday morning, September 27. The high school band heralded the approach of her majesty, Bette Heinzman, queen of the Home- coming activities, and her attendants, Marge Winn and Kay Thro. The Yell Club president, Bob Barnett, played a game of heavy, heavy, hangs over thy head before that symbol of true roy- alty was tenderly laid on the tresses of Queen Bette. With festoons of crepe paper dangling from their mouths and draped over their arms, the decoration committees swarmed around the surrounding blocks like an invading army all afternoon. The Dump the Raiders of Curtis Johnson's homeroom won the prize for the best Homecoming slogan, while Miss Mehlhouse's hunters Pluggin' for Katol' captured the prize for the best decorated float. The Northfield Raiders were dumped at the evening foot- ball game by the Mankato Scarlets. After wearing out their lungs at the game, students and alumni all trotted over to the Union School to wear out their feet at the Homecoming dance, sponsored by the Mankato High School Hi-Y chapters. The camouflaged pluggers, Stanley Suttles and Robert Swenson, bluffed the judges for Miss Mehlhouse's homeroom and pulled in with the prize ..., His royal self, Bill Edwards, reminds himself of his title and refuses to respond with the hearty chuckles of his brother-in-trade behind the Men Working sign, Doc Hildebrand .... However, Fulton Bundy, Vince Neuman, Joe Smith, Rod Fleming, and Smiley Bob Kehner seem to be happy enough. . . . The band was pretty grim about the whole affair. mu1 - - cm. .,., ,w w Q

Presiding as president this year was Robert Rieke. Curtis Johnson supervises the actions of the group. The newest project undertaken by the Student Council was the Christmas assembly.

By this apprenticeship idea, next year's Otaknam staff will have some knowledge of the work that is before them. First plans for the yearbook were made last spring and completed in September. From September through April pictures were taken of every school club and organization. The rest of the year was spent in the writing of copy. In March slides were shown in the assembly demonstrating some of the pictures that would be in the annual. Students received the Otaknams in May. i Qtalcnam SITTING: L. Lloyd, class editor D.
