Floats Are A Part Of Homecoming In the float competition, the Freshmen received first place, with a Mustang resting his iron hooves on a pair of dice. The Junior class float, the Sophomore class float, and the Senior class train received 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places respectively. The clubs winning recognition were: the Drama Club, first place; the marching Pep Club, under the direction of Mrs. Benear, second place; and the hard-working Pep Band, third place.

Queens The highlight of the Homecoming program was the presentation of our lovely Homecoming Queen, Connie Burklund. Her very attractive attend- ants, Kathy Hustedt, Sheila Moulding, and Kathy Swanson, also lent their pep and personality to the half-time ceremonies. Later, beautiful and charming, they all attended the Homecoming dance, “Monte Carlo,” to assist in crowning Queen Connie. Kathy Swanson Sheila Moulding Katherine Hustedt Above: Queen Connie Burklund

Homecoming Snaps Homecoming—a maze of events happening in sequence. The float preparation was among the first events to take place. After the completed floats were paraded and judged, they stood on the football field, alone, for everyone was watching the dummy of Rantoul being thrown into the licking tongues of Paxton's fire. Later, at the dance held after the game, Connie Burklund, our queen, was escorted to her throne by football co-captains, Denny Short and Darrel Seim. The Queen’s court, Kathy Hustedt, Kathy Swanson, and Sheila Moulding, were escorted by Wayne Johnson, Denny Eichelberger, and Tim Schofield. Upper: Homecoming Court and their escorts.
