Homecoming, an annual tradition at Mesa High School, was one of the principal and best participated in elections of the year. After the twelve hopeful candidates were presented and introduced in front of the Student Body in the National Honor Assembly, they were voted on and six finalists were chosen. They were notified of their selection and then presented to the students at the Friday night game. The only ones knowing of the six finalists were the finalists and Mr. Fitzgerald, for it was to be kept a secret until half-time of the Mesa-Scottsdale game. During half-time at the Mesa favored game, the six finalists were driven around the track in new cars, donated by local car dealers. The Rabbettes and Band formed an entrance for the royalty to pass through. The six stood in pairs in a line and anxiously awaited the final decisions. Cries of joy, sorrow, happiness, and gratefulness came from the lips of the candidates as their names were read off as King, Queen, first and second attendants.
