i pao De ole? Homecoming Queen and Attendants Bobbie Bledsoe Betty Turner Betty Barber H omecoming Football On Saturday, November 10, 1951, the NCSD Bears defeated the SCSD Green Hor- nets in their annual gridiron contest, 20 to 6. The weather was of the made-to-order kind, Indian Summer, and the high school stadium was a colorful scene of alumni, students and visitors from the three border- ing states. The Bears made the first two touchdowns on long forward passes from Lonnie Leo- nard to Ted McBride. The last NCSD touchdown was scored by Charles McKenzie on a 40-yard run though the center. South Carolina scored its lone touchdown in the last minutes of play soon after capturing 2 blocked punt. During the intermission Betty Turner, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Turner of Morganton, was coronated Homecoming Queen in a beautiful and impressive ceremony. Her court attendants were Bobbie Dean Bledsoe of Fleetwood and Betty Barber of Gastonia. The Pep Squads of both schools, S. C. dressed in green and white and N. C. in blue and white, put on a colorful show to climax the intermission fes- tivities. Following the game the entire crowd was guest of NCSD at a sumptuous barbecue supper given in the gym. A most entertaining program was given in the auditorium with John E. Crutchfield presiding, assisted by co-chairman Edward Farnell. Useful prizes were given away to holders of lucky numbers and the best “story tellers”. It was well past midnight when the friends of school days of yore began to disperse, all exclaiming the most wonderful Homecoming ever. Present were some 400 Alumni in addition to the school personnel and out of town guests—about 800 in all.
