Launching Homecoming' Newport High School students sponsored the first Homecoming activities in November of 1956 with the hope that this would become a tradition. To arouse spirit and enthusiasm for the coming event, NHS students gathered for a pep rally and bonfire on the night previous to the game. Cheering and shouting, the students led by the yell squad, paraded up town to encour- age the town's people to attend the game and support the Cubs the following night. The parade returned to the high school where industrious freshmen had built a huge bon- fire. Enthusiastic students gathered around for the traditional Burn the Boomers cus- tom. During half-time activities, Bette Simpson was crowned Homecoming Queen by her es- cort, Dennis Heinen. Other members of Queen Bette's court included lunior Princess Lana Iohnson, Sophomore Princess Gloria Ludahl, and Freshman Princess Beverly lacob. Their escorts were Terry Morgan, Tom Heryford, and Daryl Hadley respectively. Queen Bette I and her royal court reigned at the Homecoming Dance. At the dance spon- sored by the Iunior class, many NHS students and alumni whirled in an atmosphere of gay- ety under multicolored balloons floating in an overhead net, Below: Ray and Donna Dancing up a storm .
