Queen Aboken King Bigelow Strawberry Festival In accordance with an established custom of the school, the Freshman class of 1940 trooped down to the band room at noon, May 28, to enjoy a bountiful straw- berry shortcalce served by Superintendent Meachum. This festival was first introduced in 1932 by Mr. Meachum. After the Freshmen,s desire for strawberries had been satisfied to the utmost, the coronation of King Bigelow and Queen Abolcen took place. Attired in the latest spring fashions, the king and queen paraded the main street of the village. They were escorted by the Royal Band and a host of loyal subjects. On their return to the Palace 1M.I-I.S.J, they discarded their royal robes, and the king and queen, having reigned for one hour, once again abdicated their throne for their regu- lar school schedule. M. H. S. Cheerleaders Leola Smith, Muriel Guenther, Connie Reid, Carolyn Blackmer, Alice Gibson, Maureen Bates. This year M. H. S. has had enthusiastic cheerleaders, who have helped make the school spirit more noticeable.
