THE 1933 WARRIOR QUEEN OF THE GRIDIRON Heralded by two trumpeters and marching to the strains of “The King of the Gridiron played on the organ by Prof. Norman Goodbrod. the regal procession made its way up the stairs of Clemmons Hall, down the aisles and onto the platform in the chapel where the throne of the Queen of the Gridiron was erected amid a setting of flowers and Mid- land colors. Leading the formal procession was Miss Elfrida Petersen, the Grid Queen of 1931. The attendants of the new queen were Greta Polcnskc. Gertrude Kupfer. Dorothea Smith and Bernice Richter. Included in the royal retinue were members of the two pep organizations, the Warrior- ettes and Tomahawks, resplendent in their orange and black regalia, the four class presidents and the presi- dent of the Student Council. After the members of the proces- sion took their places around the queen's throne. Irvin Schwartz, pres- ident of the “M club, opened the impressive ceremony by explaining the history and traditions connected with the selecting and presenting of the Queen of the Gridiron. Nominees for the honor arc chosen by members of the “M” club which annually sponsors the ceremony. Midland students vote on the nominees. The co-ed receiving the most votes is named queen and the others become attendants. The identity of the chosen one is not revealed until the coronation takes place. After the talk given by the “M club president. Herman Bachr. presi- dent of the Student Council, introduced the Queen of the Gridiron for 1932, Her Highness, Miss Dorothy Kuscl. She was invested with her royal robe, crown and scepter by the past queen. Miss Petersen. As the queen took her place on the throne, the entire group of students and faculty members joined in singing: “Oh, Midland, dear Midland. We sing your praise today. We’ll follow you in all you do And loudly laud your name alway. Oh. Midland, dear Midland. To thee no love shall lack. We loudly sing and proudly fling T he orange and the black.” The queen was presented with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthe- mums by Esther Weitkamp. vice- president of the Student Council. After this presentation the newly crowned queen gave a short talk of appreciation to the students and of encouragement to the grid squad. While the entire court” stood in homage, the 1932 Grid Queen started the royal recession from the platform. The crowning of the Grid Queen was begun in the fall of 1930 when Lorraine Lovgren was chosen to rule throughout the football season. The practice was continued in the autumn of 1931 when Elfrida Petersen re- ceived the crown. This, the third year of the celebration of the corona- tion. proved the most impressive and successful.

In going through ten league games without a loss the Warriors were the first group of Midland basketeers to finish a season without a conference defeat. In addition to a perfect conference slate, they hung up five victories in non-conference contests. The only blemish on the Warrior record was a 25 to 24 loss to Phillips University of Enid, Oklahoma, at the Amateur Athletic Union tournament at Kansas City. Merry Magicians” was the mon- icker applied to the Warriors after a brilliant season of conquering formidable opponents, every one de- termined to end the fast sailing of the Midlandcrs. .;.
