1938 Homecoming Queen To Be Honored This Year
The 1938 Homecoming Queen will be presented to spectators at the half-time of the Kansas-Nebraska homecoming game, Nov. 8.
Calling back former Homecoming Queens to the University during homecoming is to be an annual feature on the campus.
To be honored this year is Denise "Denny" Lemoinne Amerine, wife of Lt. Col. Richard R. Amerine, commander of the Marine Air Reserve Training Detachment at Olathe
Naval Air Base. Col. Amerine also has a claim on the memories of Jayhawkers, as a backfield star for the KU football teams of the 1938 era.
Both Col. and Mrs. Amerine were graduated in 1940.
Although KU has no school of dentistry, students planning to enter that field may take pre-professional work in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
