Queen Connie Reigns in the Midst of Heaven Drums rolled, the band marched, lights dimmed, pom- poms rustled, and a shrill whistle broke the tension as one by one, Queen Connie Burger and her attendants marched to the center of the fan-packed gym to be introduced. As Queen Connie walked up the floor, one sensed the honor and joy she felt as the crowd applauded. Student Council President George Schipp crowned Queen Connie to the traditional rustle of cymbals. Amidst cheers, clapping hands, flashing cameras, salutes, tears, and the clouds of Heaven, and in spite of a broken toe, falling locks, shattered nerves and dry ice that refused to steam, Queen Connie and her court reigned royally during the Ferdinand-Tecumseh game. The Crusaders presented Queen Connie and her court a royal victory. LEFT: Queen Connie Burger gives a ready smile to her loyal subjects.

Band, Glee Club Present Christmas Sing-Out Old time Christmas carols, live “dolls” toting teddy-bears, and a great sounding band! What more do you need to give you the Christmas spirit? The Glee Club and Band gave a Christmas program for anyone who needed a little something to give them the spirit of the season. A group of first graders held the attention of the audience with their own version of “Nuttin’ for Christmas.” A panto- mime family scene and a sing-along featuring carols such as, “It’s Begin- ning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” and “Silver Bells,” in which the au- dience was invited to take part, was the final note. Live dolls, Lou Ann Klem, Elaine Zink, and Judy Meyer do a pantomime dance to the tune of “Are Your Ears on Straight,” which is being sung by the Glee Club. Gayla Gehlhausen, Norma Steckler, Kristy Fritz, Lois Jo- sing carols at the annual Christmas program, while Barbara hanneman, and Mary Lampert gather round the fireplace to Snyder accompanies them at the piano. 9
