Queen candidates: Linda Boyd, Judy Mayer, Karen O’Brien, and Jane Shapley. HOMECOMING 1961 Queen, Karen O’Brien. Mr. Demaree congratulates Dave Benjamin on being named Mr. Football. October 21 dawned a cloudy morning, and the high humidity only served to dampen the spirits of the Mer- rillville students. It was Saturday and the night before had witnessed a disheartening loss to the Blazers of Edi- son. As the day wore on though, spirits skyrocketed in anticipation of the Homecoming Dance. The dance ful- filled the expectations of all the couples as they danced to enchanting music. Queen, Karen O’Brien, and Mr. Football, Dave Benjamin, reigned over the dance. The Homecoming activities, which are the annual work of the Student Council, were adorned for the first time by an impressive parade. The members of the commu- nity agreed with the students, faculty, and alumni in their opinion that Homecoming 1961 was a Homecoming to remember.
