All together now — OYYOOO! Ball Was Night to Remember ' . ' CORONATION BALL As O ' Dea ' s foremost social event of the year com¬ menced, 110 men and their dates filled the beautiful Olympic Bowl at the Olympic Hotel for the eighteen¬ th annual Coronation Ball. While Bob Elwood and his quartet impressed everyone with their renditions of many popular songs, the five princesses nervously awaited the announcement that would make one of them Queen of the Irish . As the high point of the evening drew near, five worthy seniors escorted our cheerleaders to the stage. Tension mounted as emcee Doug Berger approached the microphone and every¬ one pressed forward to catch a glimpse of the new queen, ...and the 1968-69 Queen of the Irish is — Missy Mize. Missy was then crowned by last year ' s queen, Mary Jean Henderson, after which she danced the Queen ' s Waltz with SBP Mike DeFranco. Later in the evening, Mr. Isaacson was called upon to present awards to the outstanding football players of this year ' s team. Those honored with awards were: George janecke. Most Inspirational Player; Tom Sonn, Team Captain; Marc Englin, Best Lineman; Mike Gauthier, Best Back; and Brian Haley, Most Improved Player. As the midnight hour approached, everyone de¬ parted, leaving the night behind them but holding still the memories of the wonderful time that was had by all. Two beautiful Irish Queens: Mary Jeanne Henderson, 1967-68 and Missy Mize, 1968-69.
