Screams of ecstasy and sobs of joy echoed throughout the stadium as Student Association President Chester Bailor announced the name of Morton’s 1966-67 Home¬ coming Queen. From the five senior girls composing the Homecoming Court, the student body elected Kathy Cer- gizan to represent them. The newly-crowned queen and her court reigned with their escorts over the second half of the football game against Hammond Tech. Weeks of preparation went into the success of Home¬ coming festivities. Floats, prepared by the senior and junior classes, led the parade of queen candidates and boosters to the Hammond High football field. “We’ve Got a Whale of a Team,” the theme of the senior float, was depicted by a towering blue crepe-paper whale. A huge rolling pin smashing a Tech Tiger portrayed the theme of the junior float—“Flatten’ ’Em.” To acquaint the students with the court, elected by the senior class, an assembly was held the day of queen elections. Each of the candidates was asked a question similar to those asked of the “Miss America” finalists. The girls’ answers to these questions helped students select the one who they believed showed the greatest school spirit and most pleasing personality. MISS ARDIS KAUFMAN
