Bothwell was one of 10 homecoming queens to wear the crown from 1964-1973.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Homecoming Recrowning 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gGXNg1LmcDY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt still fascinates me that 10 of us had worn this one-of-a-kind crown over 50 years ago,\u201d Bothwell said.<\/p>\n<p>Bothwell was nominated by the football team at the time and had no aspirations of running for homecoming queen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so awkward and shy that I was beyond excited when I was nominated,\u201d Bothwell said.<\/p>\n<p>The crown was donated to the university in 2016 by Janelle Krug, daughter of the last queen to be crowned, Mary Jane Krug. Mary Jane was the first to actually keep the crown following homecoming celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is so special to have the crown back at the University of La&nbsp;Verne,\u201d Bothwell said. \u201cI think each of us held on to it for a month before giving it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anne Collier, a curator at the Cultural and Natural History Collections at the University of La&nbsp;Verne, was tasked with restoring the crown to its original beauty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was definitely a little wear and tear over the years,\u201d Collier said.<\/p>\n<p>She was able to repair the scalloped tip on the crown and add a few more rhinestones. With the crown restored to a wearable condition, Collier was inspired to learn more about the queens who had previously worn it. She began her research online by combing through city newspapers. Each time, she came across the same name \u2013 Marjorie Bothwell. She found various photos showcasing the queen from 1968 and others who all shared the same keepsake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarji was truly the tie to the university\u2019s history of homecoming queens,\u201d Collier said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe she was the fifth queen to wear such a treasure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, Homecoming is always celebrated in the fall semester. However, many of the students were crowned the previous year according to Collier\u2019s research. The 10 who wore the now-restored crown were:<\/p>\n<p>1964 \u2013 Esther Gregory (formerly Bowman)<\/p>\n<p>1965 \u2013 Jeanette Johnson<\/p>\n<p>1966 \u2013 Holly Stevens (formerly Montgomery)<\/p>\n<p>1967 \u2013 Linda Haines (formerly Groff)<\/p>\n<p>1968 \u2013 Marji Bothwell (formerly Gill)<\/p>\n<p>1969 \u2013 Jeanette Long<\/p>\n<p>1970 \u2013 Norma Martinez (formerly Reyna)<\/p>\n<p>1971 \u2013 Ann Edwards (formerly Oglesby)<\/p>\n<p>1972 \u2013 Kay Noah<\/p>\n<p>1973 \u2013 Mary Jane Krug (formerly Doramus) (Deceased)<\/p>\n<p>Following this year\u2019s homecoming celebrations, the crown was returned to the university\u2019s archive. Collier has plans to display the crown on campus at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Bothwell, who lives in Lake Isabella with her husband, Spencer, will never forget this particular homecoming and her re-crowning ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to come home after so many years and celebrate the time-honored tradition of Homecoming with my Leo family,\u201d Bothwell said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo caption: Marjorie Bothwell \u201969 was re-crowned homecoming queen by Felecia Beardsley, Cultural and Natural History Collections director, during the University of
