Queen Linda reigns over her court as the honor guard of football players are presented to the audience THE traditional bonfire and pepfest followed the corona- tion. This, too, proved to be rather different. The bonfire could not be lighted until more gasoline was added By then, half of the people had left. Those that remained, however, doubled their efforts and created a good cheering section. CHARMING Queen Linda and her handsome escort King Duane pose for a formal portrait.

Frank, D, Aalderks, L. Sundquist, L. Kull, S. Johnson. Homecoming 66, Unforgettable ... HOMECOMING, 1966, is a never-to-be forgotten ex- perience for the senior class. The Thursday night coronation was far from traditional; it was more like a fairy tale. Just as Queen Linda Kronlokken was mounting the steps to her royal throne, she fainted and was carried off the stage by the gal- lant King Duane Holmgren. As the curtain was pulled so necessary stage repairs could be made, the micro- phone caught in the folds of the curtain and tipped over. After Queen Linda had been revived and the coronation party was seat- ed again on the stage and the show was ready to go on, the stage curtain stuck at half way and would not budge an inch until after several des- perate tugs. At last everyone was settled and the program was presented without further interrup- tions.

FRIDAY, the day of the par- ade, turned out to be a gor- geous day. The band, leading the way, was followed by the royal court and floats. All went well for two blocks. Then disaster struck. The royal float passed under a low-hang- ing tree branch, which knocked off the top of the float. Since there was no immediate way of fixing it, the top was laid on the back of the float for the remainder of the parade, which ended without further incidents. FIRST prize in the float con- test was awarded to the Sopho- mores for their float depict- ing a Viking victory. D i f f e rent . SECCND prize went to the Fresh- men who portrayed the Vikings worrying about their yardage. NOT shown, The Bear Facts, theme of the Junior float, took third place in the con- test. The score board pre- dicted a 30-0 lead for the Vikings with 3 seconds left of play. Unfortunately, their prediction was incorrect. IN this float, built by the eighth grade, the Vikings are desperately trying to keep the bears away from the honey. It did not, however, place in the contest.
