The Senior Class once again captured first with their float, 'Good Luck Pioneers and the Juniors took second. Due to the raindrops during the parade that night, the crowning of the Queen was post-poned until the Homecoming Dance. At 10:50 that night, before the Dance started, the Queen and her Court made a grand entrance escorted by football boys. Co-Capta1n,Denny Green crowned Queen Marvel before the first dance and then the Queen and the Court started the first dance with their chosen escorts. The dance proved to be very successful with the music of Jim Luchtel. There was a large crowd and even though the weatherman d1dn't agree with us, the Homecoming of 1953 will linger in our memory for sometime to come. as ,QQ N -V .475 H 6.9 ' , w M ,s ,X , rg., 9' - , V . , T Q ,' , K V K V F, I f ff r, x My ' 1 r N' 4 'b ,M ,Ve -. 2,9 I , , I I C q O 9 I 9 I I I , .

This fall, we selected Smitty Schuneman as our Assistant Editor. They had a big job on their hands to see that the articles and pictures were handed ln, and on time. They did a fine job and are to be given a lot of credit. Maggie Kinkade and Phip Antisdel were chosen from the class to write the Class Will. Gloria Emerick and Carol Meyer were se- lected to write the Class Poemg Many a day one would find them in Mr. Green's office working on the writing of this poem. Marvel Truax and Denny Green were selected for the writing of the Class Prophecy. Smitty Schuneman found soare time to write up our Class History. Maggie and Denny also wrote the Class Song. Virginia Jacobs was the Advertising Committee Chairman and Alta Hunt, her assistant. Virginia did a swell job in getting some of the Seniors interested in going around to different busines places to sell ads. It was an important job as it helped to pay for our annual. I think it is time to give credit to the typists of the annual Theresa Schott and Gloria Emerick have been mighty busy girls typ- ing away on our annual and are to be given a lot of credit.
