Among these were Latin Club, football, and many others. Although every one couldn't parti- cipate in sports, the ones who couldn't take an active part derived much enjoyment from cheer- ing their team to victory. There were also many dances held at school. The Little Red School house Dance attracted a large portion of the student body. With these activities the students learned to coordinate social and scholastic development. Yes. joys and sonrows were experienced even while students participated in extracurricular activities!

Homecoming highlighted Football homecoming highlighted the sea- son's fall activities this year. Again we had our annual contest to see what young lady would be 1962-63's homecoming queen. Many girls went to Coach Elkins to turn in money or to get additional tickets. As the deadline drew nearer, tension mounted. Finally, the big night arrived, and six beautiful conver- tibles drove the six candidates around the field at half time. Then for the most thrilling moment of all. we crowned Maxine Kapsch as Homecoming Queen 1962-63. A crown, a trophy, a bouquet, and a watch were her prizes while the runners-up received bouquets and bracelets bearing the inscription Home- coming Princess. The band played Let Me Call You Sweetheart as the queen and her court rode off again. The big moment was over, but the queen received many congratu- lations and wishes for a very happy reign. Proud and radiant. Homocoin- ing Queen. Maxine Kapsch. is crowned by Ernest Adams and Melvin Thomas 2«
