History
of the Section 18 Queen
In the long and lurid
history of Section 18, there is no greater tradition than the crowning
of the Section 18 Homecoming Queen. Every year, the Women of Section 18
select three deserving males from the group to represent the section as
Queen and Court for a full year. No one has ever divulged the criteria
for selection. Let it just be said that it is an honor bestowed on a few
and cherished by none.
We
proudly present, the Section 18 Queens and Princesses:
