Queen Rose Puhr Reigns at Harvest CHECKERBOARD RED SOCKS, hats made of strawber- ries, and thigh-high army boots for girls may not be pic- tured in the latest issue of Vogue, but students sported such regalia during the week of October 2-6. The 1968 Home- coming Week featured Crazy Hat and Shoe Day, Jersey Day, Crazy Tie Day, Red Sock Day, and Slave Day. The game, scheduled for Friday, October 6, had to be postponed due to rain until the following Monday. Showers failed to dampen spirits, however, and on Sat- urday, October 7, St. Marians gathered to dance to the mu- sic of the Shantay’s in the school gymnasium. Failure to score the extra point after a Trojan touch- down proved fatal to the blue and white as St. Mary’s suf- fered a 14-13 loss at the hands of the Hogan Rams in the Homecoming game played October 9 at Sugar Creek. TAKING advantage of Slave Day, masters Bob Gronninger, Tom Bates, and John Riley give book carrying, shoe tying commands to slaves Helen Myers, Corinne O’Neill, and Barbara Moran. PAM BIBER, Lonna Smith. Steve Steffes, Vicki Royal, and Christy En- gler model their red socks on Red Sock Day while Debbie Hallagin shows off her hat and shoes on Crazy Hat ’n Shoe Day. HOMECOMING royalty reign over the Saturday night dance. Queen Rose Puhr is surrounded by her court and their escorts; Cathy Pow- ers and Rick Lathrom; Cheryl Cain and Mike Puhr; Tom Hedbcrg; Rama Anderson and Preston Strosnider; and Kathy Geraghty and Bob Aubrccht. Tom and Rose led the traditional queen's dance to the music of the Shantay's.
