QUEEN GRETA and Tony DeRosa are shown with Ted Tarr and members of her court and their escorts: Mary Ann Kozubal and Bob Jeppeson, Gale Bradford and Frank Alexander, Kathryn Snyder and Dave Her- ring, Alice Hopman and Bob Henry, and Wanda Sams and Larry MacDonald. Mortonites Celebrate Homecoming Greta Simpson was crowned queen of Morton High School’s 1956 Homecoming, held Friday, Sept. 14. Greta’s court consisted of five girls representing their respec- tive senior homerooms. The festivities of the annual event compensated somewhat for the loss of the game to Tech, the final score of which was 19 to 13. The game, held at Hammond High Field, was followed by a dance in the Morton gym. On the Thursday before Home- coming a bonfire pep session was held on the blacktop behind the school. It was followed by a moonlight dance on the blacktop, with music provided by a loud- speaker system. STUDENTS DANCE on the blacktop after the bonfire rally on the Thursday before Homecoming. STUDENTS AND alumni gathered in the gym after the game to dance and pay homage to the queen.

Elementary Annexation Constructed SUPERINTENDENT OF Schools Lee L. Caldwell addresses the group gathered to witness the laying of the cornerstone of the new elementary annex. The elmentary annex under construction at the north end of the Morton campus is quickly nearing completion. The elementary children will move into the building next fall. Rooms in the main building which some elemen- tary classes occupied this spring will be high school classrooms in the fall; rooms in the portables, occupied by the rest of the elementary classes, will be used for a high school student lounge, a high school art room, an ungraded classroom, and an elementary playroom. The new annex of 13 rooms is being built by the Leo Reuth and Sons Construction Co. A GOOD framework is essential for a strong roof in any building, and the one in the elementary annex looks solid. THE EXTERIOR of the new elementary building takes on a look of readiness for the students that will occupy it in September.
