YEAR’S EVENTS Homecoming, October 1, 1954 The homecoming success was spirited by the football team’s victory over Galena, 13 to 7. In spite of the drizzling rain, which drenched the parade and faded the crepe paper on the pretty floats, everyone seemed happy. The crowning ceremonies at the dance in the evening com- pleted an all but perfect day. Charlene Wear was crowned queen of the. homecoming, and her court was made up of Linda Toay, Kay Hayes, and Sherry Hansen. Our football captain, Fred Dubach, was king, and his court consisted of Bob Cook, Bob Thomas and Dick Gray. Junior-Senior Hunt, October 18, 1954 The quiet seniors hid in a box car beside the Eatman Produce building for an hour and ten minutcjs with the passing of trains came the noise. Then the real silence ensued when the juniors’ lights wa(re flashed on the car. Th« seniors hardly dared breathe a sigh of relief when they were not discovered. Halloween Dance, October 30, 1954 The Hallowqen dance, sponsored by the Mothers’ Study Club, not a costume party this year, was fairly well attended. The high school ex- tends thanks to the organizations that have sponsored this event. Christmas Party, December 23, 1954 The student council sponsored the Christmas party on the after- noon before vacation and furnished candy bars for refreshments. Group singing of Christmas carols and a gift exchange made up the entertainment. Christmas Dance, December 27, 1954 The annuhl Christmas dance, sponsored by the Woman’s Club was attended by a large majority of the high school students, with alumni in the minority this year.
