Judy Luchene, Morton ' s 1957 Homecoming Queen, expresses her thanks as Judy Hellinga, senior president, and Bill Beaver, dressed as governor, look on. Mortonites Express Themselves In Beauty . . . Judy Luchene with her escort Terry Kelleher, stops to pose with her court and their escorts: Margaret Vickerman and Jim Bradley, Joyce May and John Rosek, Shirley Golec and Bob Smalley, and Sharon Adelsperger and Dave Weedon. At about 8:30 in the evening of October 1 1 , five beautiful, but anxious, candidates tensely- waited to hear the outcome of the 1957 Homecoming Queen Contest. The escorts, it is rumored, were equally nervous and uneasy. When finally the suspense was broken as Asso- ciation President, Bill Beaver, announced the winner, an ex- huberant, but modest, Judy Luchene stepped up onto an enormous top hat to receive her traditional crown and bouquet of red roses. Homecoming fes- tivities then came to a happy close with annual dance spon- sored by the senior class. 8

The Teenagers Passport to Success our joys. Social studies gives us an understanding of other people and mass reaction through things that have happened in the past. Science explains the mys- tery of creaiion and the elements so we can realize our smallness by comparison. The practical courses in home economics and business train us tor vocations. Participation in activities and organizations de- velops our sense of responsibility. There ' s no one to make us fulfill our obligation to a committee. We do our fair share, and maybe even a little extra because we want to, not because we have to. The freedom of choice and expression we receive at Morton develops our sense of responsibility, our sportsmanship, our in- dividuality, and most of all, our minds.

In this event parents and teachers unite to have one major fund raising project for the year. Yes, who will ever forget the stunts Mr. Rasmussen pulled on his entranced subjects as they regressed back to the second grade to have a childish recess fight? Bill Luchene, far right, looks pretty skeptical of the sharp shooter in the center. And Comedy WESTERN UNION No! You can ' t send a 1000 word telegram to Mr. Clark!
