Bement High School brings back past queens for celebration

BEMENT – In 1962, Mary Sue Burgess strolled through Bement's homecoming coronation in a strapless gown of midnight blue and white gloves, her short hair curled around her face. Her crown as Bement's homecoming queen: a ring of flowers.

And Mary Burgess Postlewait will get to feel that shiver of excitement again when she and some 16 other former homecoming queens will be honored guests Saturday night at the Bement Alumni Dinner.
