As they met their escorts, tension mounted. The big moment was about to become a reality! Roger Schmidt, Yell Club president, paced back and forth looking, deciding and won- dering. Screams and cheers echoed through the auditorium as Roger finally offered his arm to the new queen, Cathy Fitterer. Through tears of joy, she was led to her throne where she was met by the page, Michael Hackett, carrying the crown. As she knelt at the foot of the throne, Roger placed the crown on her head saying, I crown thee, Queen Cathy, queen of the Mankato high school 1957-58 homecoming festivities l Robed in the traditional red and white, Queen Cathy was presented one dozen red roses by Liz Nelson in behalf of the student body. Queen Cathy then began her reign over all the homecoming festivities including the bonfire, parade, and the dance in the evening. Princess Louise Princess Judy Princess Sandy Princess Marlys

A serious moment as Roger Schmidt, Yell club president, crowns Cathy homecoming queen for 1957-58. llfatois Game, Austinis Shame' ROM THE coronation ceremony to the dance later that evening, the happy spirit prevailed, The day before homecoming we saw hoboes parading around in their new linery. There were about three who were really outstandingly dressed in such costumes as backwoods people, cowboys, and Chinamen. Mankato high schoolys 1957 homecoming parade started at the school at 5:15 p.m. and proceeded down Front street. The parade consisted of twenty-nine homeroom and club floats and the Queen's float. Three bands from Mankato high school, Mankato State, and the Franklin- Lincoln junior high bands added a delightful lift. Dancing to the dreamy music of Don Deane's Band are Marcia Lehnert and Roger Sinclair.
