EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1957 - 5« HOMECOMING PARADE—OCTOBER 12, 1957 Beautiful floats, gay costumes, dignified bands and our husky foot- ball team made up the school’s part of the annual homecoming parade. Bette Davis, Linda Heid, Nancy McFadden, and Ruth Ann Graham led the parade in the queen’s car. Bands from Stockton, Gratiot, Benton, Orangeville, Shullsburg, and Warren High, and our Community Unit Dis- trict No. 205 grade schools added color and music to the festive event. East Dubuque’s victory in the football game which followed was a bad break, but our spirits remained high. HOMECOMING DANCE—OCTOBER 12, 1957 The king, Keith Eckerman, a senior and captain of the football team, crowned Ruth Ann Graham, a senior, as 1957 homecoming queen. “Spaed Cawthorne furnished the music for the king, queen, and their court as they led the grand march. The court was composed of Bette Davis, Linda Heid, Nancy McFadden, Jack Smith, LaVem Newman, and Harry Friedli. HALLOWEEN PARTY—OCTOBER 30, 1957 Spooks and goblins welcomed the guests at the Halloween party sponsored by the Mothers’ Study Club and Lions' Club. After a journey through the spook gallery an enjoyable evening of dancing and refresh- ments followed. CHRISTMAS DANCE—DECEMBER 28, 1957 Holiday fun was highlighted by the semi-formal dance sponsored by the Warren Woman’s Club, Mothers’ Study Club, and Lions’ Club. The beautiful music of Gus Fuhrman made feet take wiftgs and formats swirl. G.A.A. SADIE HAWKINS DANCE Although it wasn’t leap year, the girls took the G.A A. Sadie Haw- kins dance as the night to catch the man of their dreams. Sharon Krippendorf, crowned as Daisy Mae, took Shelby Korte — her man, UP Abner, and started an evening of dancing. Refreshments were enjoyed by everyone.
