Darleen Hendrickson. Barbara Holthusen, Queen Beverly 1. ,lone Xlclaxughlin, and Dolores Lahren. The students of XVHS have long dreamed of a homecoming and this year their fondest dreams came true. November l. 1946. will go down in history as t'he inauguration of the first Annual Football Day of VVahpeton high school. The celebration was sponsored bv the Student Council. who worked very hard to collect all the ideas into a workable plan. The classes all did their share. The sen- iors had charge of the coronation and the program. No homecoming' would be complete without a queen, so the students held an election and voted for their choice for oueen and four attendants from eight candidates of the senior class. The honor of being the first queen to reign over our Animal Football Day belongs to Beverly Dailey. Her attendants were ,lone McLaughlin, Barbara Holthusen, Dolores Lahren, and Darleen Hendrickson. Early in the afternoon Queen Beverlv I was crowned by Mr. Zimmerman in an impressive candlelight ceremony, Then she and her attendants led the parade th'rough t'he uptown district to the football field. She was presented to the students and visitors again at the half. Our team did justice to the first Annual Football Day by defeating the Fergus Falls Otters , 25-6, in a thrilling game. The band put on an extra wonderful exhibi- tion during the half. In the evening the homecoming party was siren in the auditorium. Juniors decor- ated t'he gym and the sophomores had charge of the refreshments. We are very proud of our first Annual Football Day and hope that all the following classes will work hard to make it one of the best and biggest days of the high school year.
