Homecoming Provides Polar Memories EXCITEMENT! TENSION! ENTHUSIASM! These are the emotions that are involved in an event such as Homecoming. The Student Council kept these in mind as they began the planning of the biggest event of the year. Each year the students who plan Homecoming attempt to make if the best ever, and this year was no exception. The Homecoming buttons were designed with the slogan that would best serve to kindle pep and enthusiasm. Pennants, pompoms and balloons created the atmosphere of excitement and provided the school with a festive appearance. Another important phase of Homecoming was the selection and crowning of the Homecoming Queen. A system of petitioning was set up by which any senior girl who had the signatures of fifty seniors and who had a C grade average or better was eligible to be considered in the primary voting. Seniors voted in the primary and narrowed the number of candidates down to five girls. These five girls were then presented to the entire student body which cast the final vote. The results of this final voting were not revealed until the Queen's coronation in the Homecoming auditorium. Joni Engleson was chosen to reign as 1?64 Homecoming Queen by the two football captains, Henry Hinrichs and Dan Wagner. She was crowned by last year's Queen, Marie Hagen. Following her coronation. Queen Joni was entertained by alumni and students of North. The alumni were well represented by the Blazemen and last year's cheerleaders. The student body was entertained by a skit by the Drama Club and a song by Robert Fisher. So decorttt tlrttdy. bvt rtut it ridk-uloui. It it righl If I'v t d 3 ttretdy? 24
