1975 Homecoming Queen
A special Homecoming moment also occurred when Jessie (Cole) Kubuske, the Homecoming queen in 1975, returned to celebrate the anniversary of her special moment 50 years ago to the day. Ashley Helmstetter, Vice President of Advancement, Marketing, Alumni, and College Relations, surprised Jessie with a crown to call her own (since she didn’t get to keep the crown from her senior Homecoming five decades ago). This one is hers forever!
Prior to the game, the Court participated in the annual Homecoming Parade on Greenfield Street. Earlier in the week, they displayed their unique talents at the Homecoming Showcase. A series of Homecoming events for students was organized by the Berg Events Council around this year’s theme of “Jurassic Berg.”
