Homecoming Friday evening, October 12, 1962, the Homecoming Dance was held in the West Grant Gym concluding the Homecoming week. The gym was decorated for the event, and the boys played a good game even though they did lose. King Dennis Breuer missed the football game because of illness, as a result, Queen Kay Blackbourn was crowned at the Homecoming Dance. Homecoming 1962 was truly a wonderful event and a night to be remembered by all. The football season came to an end and everyone at West Grant thought it had been successful because of the one victory they had gained.

The local team was made up of basketball players from the area schools. Ron VanderKelen served as co -captain of the team and with the other Rose Bowl players they did an outstanding job of playing basketball and demon- strating football techniques. At the half-time, John Fabray and Ron Vander- Kelen presented the awards for captain and most valuable player to the members of the West Grant football team. 1 JJ ,qt J, - l its Ron VanderKelen plays defense. 1 Ron VanderKelen and John Fabray present the Most Valuable Player award and Captain of the Year award to Doug Caya and Mike Noethe Walz Lumber Company g y, Ba le Wis. -15- ol! v K- i X :si N -1-Wg Q iiv 'I . -an-.

The Junior Prom theme this year was, Three Coins in a Fountain. For three days the Juniors worked diligently prepar- ing for the evening of April 26, 1963, a Friday evening. The gym was decorated with a false ceiling of green and white crepe paperg a swimming pool and a gushing spray of water created the atmosphere necessary. Time passed quickly and everyone enjoyed the fascination and wonderment the evening offered.

Monday May 20th at 12:01 a.m. marked the beginning of three days packed full of fun and sight -seeing for 34 members of the class of '63. Some of the places they went were Detroit, a town in Canada, and Chicago. They spent a short time in each place. Many ofthe sen- iors came home to sleep, as some of them hadn't since the night they left. They came home tired and happy and somewhat sad, too, as graduation was only a few days away.

Finn, R. White, D. Wall. Crack and Gam The year of 1963 saw a relay team emerge from West Grant. The team, comprised of Mike Noethe, Jim Meng, Larry Finn, and Roger White placed first many times during the season, including a first at the Peacock Relays in LaCrosse and a first at the sectional meet at Darlington enabling them to go to the State Meet. Rog White was one of the most outstanding members of the team, excelling in shot put, broad jump, and many running events. Larry Finn placed 4th in the low hurdles at the conference meet. He is one of the up and coming hurdlers in the SWAL conference, and we are expecting big things from him in the 1964 track season. Two freshman members of the team, George Lane and Bud Bunders, were outstanding this year. The senior members of the team, Mike Noethe, Jim Meng, and Greg Beneker, will be missed next year.
