PRINCESS JANET ELDER PRINCESS VIRGINIA LOWE PRINCESS SANDRA PIFER Juniors Sweep All Homecoming Honors Seniors captured second place with their huge steam- boat, The Queen ,T anet g sophomores took third with Ace High With Lowe g and freshmen fourth, with She's Out of This World. After beating Oakland 28 to 6, the events of the first day were over. Still bigger things were planned for Satur- day. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored ahula hoop con- test on the courthouse lawn Saturday morning. Youngsters, ages four to thirteen, competed and winners were given golden hula hoops. Saturday afternoon gave everyone a chance to catchhis breath and plan for the main event yet to come, the Homecoming Dance. After dabbing on perfume and spraying last locks of hair in place, girls were ready to leave with their dates for the big dance. The Frenchmen played for the dance which began at 9 P.M. 10:30 was the time selected for the crowning,and as the clock approached that hour, sus- pense had reached its peak. As co-Homecoming manager Philip Martin announced each candidate, she was ushered on the arm of her escort, amid applause and cheering, to the center of the gym and seated in a chair around the throne. A mask of silence hung over the eager crowd as Philip announced, The 1958 Homecoming Queen is --- Miss Judy Buxton. The juniors went wild as this was their third victory, and cheers and ap- plause were deafening. She was crowned by Miss Marilyn Slov er, 1957 Homecoming Queen, and was presented a watch from Morrow's Jewelers and a huge bouquet of red roses. Princesses Janet Elder, Virginia Lowe, and Sandra Pifer all received gifts from Morrow's. Philip claimed the first dance with the queen, and the dance continued. This was the end of a never-to-be-forgotten Home- coming. The activities and events wereover, but the mem- ories would always remain. A dance ticket, corsage, football program, or some other souvenir will keep thesememories ever alive. 1 new 69,
