Philadelphia High School added a new feature to its Homecoming ceremonies this year. A special recognition of former Homecoming Queens brought many happy memories to those participating. Harpole Stadium was once more filled with happy voices and reminiscences.
Each former queen was presented by the year in which she was crowned and her name. The girls each wore a black gown or dress and looked lovely. What a wonderful addition to Homecoming!
