The most beautiful as well as one of the out- standing social events of the year 'was the Football Dance, held at the close of the football season and sponsored by the l..ettermen's Club. The outstanding attraction at the dance was the colorful crowning of the Football Queen, Alice Lien- ard. Each year the Lettermen choose as queen one of the senior girls, all of whom are eligible. This year, as in past years, the head cheerleader was chosen. Alice Lienard, the queen, not only was head cheerleader but was active in many clubs and other activities. Alice chose Rachel l-lughey, vice president of the Pep Club, as her maid-of-honor. Other attendants included the rest of the cheerleaders, Pep Club otlicers, and the two senior majorettes. Alice, poised and beautiful in her white Hoor- length gown trimmed in red velvet, McDonald's school colors, played the role of Queen well. She carried the traditional bouquet of white mums in the shape of a football. Her attendants added the needed color to the Football Dance in their floor-length pastel gowns. They also carried a large mum with red and white streamers. Eight honor guards, chosen from the band, lined the path the Queen and her attendants followed. They were: Marilou Johnston, Mary Cameron, Mary Alice Spaude, Carolyn Hepe, Linda Lescallette, Delilah Tornabene, Terry Holder, Martin Schottenheimer, James Heron, and Edwin Nadolny. Jon Sember, one of the co-captains, escorted the queen to the throne, and John Putt, the other co- captain, crowned her. The crown bearer, Carolyn Dettore, was dressed in a dainty pink gown. The Spirit of M. H. S. was Eprefented by Billy Martinek, dressed like a Red evi . Decorations appropriate to the occasion included a ceiling of red and white streamers, from which were hung stars that pictured the football team. Mr. Davis, Mr. Stasko, the l..ettermen's Club, and members of the court were responsible for the effective decorations. Johnny Vincent's Orchestra furnished the music for the dance which will be long remembered.
