Many of you will recall the Northgate Jr. HS Swamp Signal. I was going through old files and came across a few issues so thought I would share two articles that may or may not bring back some old, old, old memories. From The Jan. 30, 1959, eddition we have the first with the heading: CANDIDATES CHOSEN FOR ANNUAL SWEETHEART BALL - Candidates for king and queen of the annual Sweetheart Ball were chosen last week by the boy's and girl's gym classes. Nominees for queen are Gail Blanche, Suzi Beagle, Gaile Kitterman, Patty Catlin, and Carol Dunbar. Larry schmidt, Rusty Stout, Jon Hayes, Mert McCann, and Scott Serrill are candidates for king.The dance is to be held Feb. 14, from 8 to 10:30 in the boy's gym. A band will provide dance music. Refreshments will be provided. A special feature will be the crowning of the king and queen. Last years royalty were Ralph Ager and Janice England. The second is from the Feb. 27, 1959, eddition with the heading: SWEETHEART ROYALTY CROWNED BY FORMER KING AND QUEEN - With a trumpet's blare Gaile Kitterman and Larry Schmidt were announced as king and queen of the Sweetheart Ball Feb. 14. They were escorted to the thrones by Janice England and Ralph Ager as 300 people watched. The music was provided by a combo, the Jokers. I hope this brought a smile to some or your faces. It did mine.
