Homecoming Queen Donna Pascoe On November 19, Miss Donna Pascoe, a junior, was crowned 1962 Homecom- ing Queen to reign over the Homecom- ing gome and dance. Queen Donna participates in both school and extra-curricular activities. She is an active member of Tigerettes, belongs to Future Teachers, and is a feature writer for the Crimson and Gray. Besides these activities she has belonged to Student Council and Future Homemakers. Donna has many interests outside of school. Included in these is her favorite hobby, horseback riding. Her horse Taffy, a golden palomino quarter- horse, has won many awards in the categories of pleasure-riding and horse- manship. Donna and Taffy also took part in the 1962 American Royal Parade. Her future plans include majoring in English in college and going on to teaching or being a medical secretary. WHO WILL TAKE THE HONORS . . . is the big question asked as the queen candidates for Homecoming admire the crown presented to our school for this occasion by Rinehart ' s Jewelry Store. From Left to Right — the candidates are Mary Jo Lesley, Donna Pascoe, and Sharon Dodson. 19

Silver Tiger Leaves N.H.S. STRING HIM UP ... is the yell of football players and students as they watch Co-captains Jery Nunn and Lynn Whitworth hang the Lamar dummy in effigy at the Silver Tiger rally. Hanging a dummy has been a pre-game tradition at both Nevada and Lomor for many years. KEEP THE TIGER . . . plead majorettes and students. The rally marks the beginning of the game which dates bock to 1936 when the Silver Tiger was presented to the student councils of Nevada and Lamar by the Lions Clubs of both towns. AFTER A HARD-FOUGHT GAME . . . players and students alike enjoy a quiet Silver Tiger Dance. This marks the end of the Silver Tiger festivities. This year ' s game saw Nevada lose the game and the Tiger on a rain-drenched field by a score of 44-7. This marked the end of a three year stay at Nevada High School for the Silver Tiger. BEAT LAMAR ... is the chant of the cheer- leaders as they lead the student body to Logan Field for the rally. The rally began in the downtown area of Nevada and the students marched around the square and then out to Logan Field. This is just one example of the great spirit and good participation by students this foil at football games.
