Apparently our MHS Spirit rose (remember the M room) as many fans turned out for the Thursday night pep rally and bonfire. With high spirits, the team assured us of a Homecoming Victory. A Grave Ending for Fort, the title of the winning senior class float, proved to be true as Monroe buried Fort with a 34-6 victory. Bringing up the rear of the Homecoming Parade were our peppy cheerleaders. However at the game, competition was offered by an uninvited intruder a skunk! Pound Me we did! nich crowned Excitement filled the air as Queen of Homecoming and as co-captains Jim Lovelace and Dave Grams looked on. Our royalty, Queen Mikie Mitchell and attendants Sheri Baumgartner and Ruth Benkert, managed to look fresh in spite of the weather. Senior Jim (Tiger) Roethe played the part of Master of Ceremonies for the 1959 Homecoming. One of the peppiest organizations of M.H.S. is our fine pep band.
