Homecoming Upholds Tradition Boys in girls’ formats mimicking the Homecoming court, and girls dressed as senior football players were included in the antics of the annual senior skit, begin- ning the Homecoming festivities for 1962. Later that evening the Viking gridders were victorious by a score of 26-13 over their nearby rivals, the Chesterton Trojans. Immediately following the game, the annual Home- coming dance began to the music of Edwin Andrew’s band. At 10:45 p.m. the Student Council president. Jack Swelstad, announced the seven girls on the court. The 1962 Homecoming Queen, Mary Stinchfield, was then crowned by co-captains, Steve Platt and A1 Gott; the runner-up was Suzie Underwood. The Queen ' s dance ended the Homecoming festivities for 1962. Chosen by popular vote by the stu- dent body, the Homecoming Court is presented to spectators at half-time.
