ueen S ery! Stackhouse Rules at Activities 'ESG' The first homecoming of Marion High School was staged on September 23 at Memorial Field. A queen and her court, a parade, a game, and after-game activities highlighted this memorable day. Members of lVIHSis 1921, 1931, 1941, 1951, and 1960 football teams were honored in half-time ceremonies. The day's activities were many and varied as the preparations began many weeks and months in advance. Float ideas and the organ- ization of this festive event began in the fall of 1960 when it was heartily accepted by the student body and the community. A committee composed of members of the Marion Parent's Athletic Association, faculty members, and students began the skeleton of the day by writing many schools throughout the area regarding the procedure of their homecomings. As the parts were pieced to- gether, MHS's Hrst homecoming began to take shape and to become an event which will be remembered by Marion High School. HOMECOMING QUEEN - Sheryl Stackhouse reigns over the activities of Marion High's first homecoming. HOMECOMING COURT - Attendants completing the court for MHS's first homecoming are Jo Bloom, Bonnie Dray, Luann Tade, and Helen Britton. VRM- X X
