Skiing at Independence has

Nanette Sehupp was chosen
sports queen for the coming
year during the half time of the
varsity Palmer-Fairbanks game
February 2. Nanette was
selected from among 16
candidates by a special group
of judges. Since she and Col
leen Pettit tied for the title of
queen after the first vote of
the judges, a second poll of the
two girls was taken to break
the tie. Colleen was awarded
the title of first princess. Carol
Wilson, last year’s queen,
crowned Nanette at the height
of the ceremony. Queen Nanet
te and her court presided over
the dance which followed the
basketball game.
