OMIECUM NG QUEEN Front: Iona Miller. Back: Betty Eagan, Lila Sinn, Enid Hansell, Marda Sears. A slightly changed plan was used this year in selecting a Homecoming Queen and her attendants from that of previous years. A War Savings Stamp and Bond drive was started in the school Nov. 2 and was to last for two weeks. Every girl in High School was eligible to receive votes from those who purchased Stamps or Bonds. Votes cast for a candidate de- pended upon the amount of the purchase of Stamps or Bonds. The girl receiving the greatest number of votes automatically qualified as a candidate. Four more candidates were then selected. Each girl thus selected represented a different class in High School and had qualified by receiving the greatest number of votes in her class. These five girls were then candidates for the honor of becoming Homecoming Queen. Season tickets were put on sale and purchasers were entitled to vote for their Queen Candidate. When the final compilation had been made, Iona Miller, a senior, had re- ceived the greatest number of votes and was thus selected as the Homecoming Queen. The other four girls, Lila Sinn, a Senior, Marda Sears, a Junior, Betty Eagan, a Sophomore, and Enid Hansell, a Freshman, were to act as her at- tendants. Don Stewart, president of the M Club, acted as master of ceremonies. After Iona Miller had been crowned Homecoming Queen, she unveiled the Martensdale Honor Roll which has been placed in the upstairs hall. A quartet consisting of Max Beam, Francis Kelly, Richard Roeper and Robert Spain concluded the program by singing When the Lights Go On Again All Over the World. Miss Margaret Mills, the Third and Fourth grade teacher, accompanied them on the piano. 18194'
