Back to the Grind CROWNS, CORSAGES, AND KINGLY AIRS are symbols of royalty. The Waukesha High School homecoming court is fully prepared for the evening's festivities. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Julie Strelecki, Dave Larson, Mary Jo Pfiel, Bill Ownes, Queen Mary Sue Duescher, King Gene Harter, Lonnie Trevarrow, Connie O'Brien, Bonnie Nelson, and Bill Davies. October As the excitement over class elections subsided, prepa- rations began for homecoming. Activity groups and home- rooms were busy getting started on their floats. Garages provided temporary housing for many uncompleted floats as students worked feverishly, shaping chicken wire and stuffing napkins. Everyone was trying to think of a catchy slogan. Teachers began to notice the familiar symptoms of home- comingitis as students found it increasingly harder to con- centrate on their studies. As usual float competition was keen. Sail Over Bay was the slogan used on the winning float. Although defeated 20-O, Waukesh's Blackshirts fought hard to Waylay Bay. The homecoming dance, held the following Saturday evening, was a huge success. October 22, the basement of the St. Luke's Church was filled with struggling seniors. The cause of their misery was the Merit Scholarship Test. Five senior boys qualified. They were: Bill Davies, Roger Habeck, Roy Jordon, Jim Found, and Dave Fuller. These qualifiers received an opportunity for a scholarship. The 24th was a big day for seniors as they attended Career Night with their parents. Combining humorous anecdotes with serious advice, the speaker helped to make the all-too-imposing future seem a little brighter. Dress right. You can't afford not to was the motto of the senior girls as they launched their neat dress campaign. A secret committee of ten girls selected the best- dressed boy for October. Lucky Gene Harter was chosen, he received a S35 sport coat. IT TAKES ALL KINDS, all right. Waukesha High's Homecoming Parade shows a variety of ideas, eoch one cleverly displayed on a well- constructed float. , . 'T' -... HOMECOMING SOVEREIGNTY IS INTRODUCED ot field assembly. Haertel Field is the scene of excitement as Queen Mary Sue Duescher receives one dozen roses from King Gene Harter.
