50 years ago (1962)

Diane McIntyre, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.W. McIntyre, Rt. 4 Snohomish, was crowned Everett Junior College homecoming queen at an assembly Friday in the Campus Center. A 1961 graduate of Snohomish High School, she was the queen candidate of Photography Club. Crowning her was Barry Van Ry, president of Associated Students.

Everett High School students began their Thanksgiving season a little early this year and wound up a three-day campaign for Thanksgiving basket funds with enough to provide them for 20 families in the community. Spearheading the efforts were Vicky Bodey, Dave Hall, Steve Juntwait and Larry Fuller.
