ACTIVITIES OF HOMECOMING 1964 were successfully completed by a most memorable dance. Reigning over the dance were Queen Mary and King Tom. Master of Ceremonies was the great Emperor Charlie Brown. About 350 students and alumni danced to the music of two bands: The Blue Diamonds, a fifteen piece orchestra: and The Coronados, a dance band.
