Katie Batz is the cute one on the left. The others don't stand a chance.
For almost 150 years, five second-year girl students (we used to call them sophomores) are chosen by their classmates to be on the St. Lucia Court. The five are really happy for each other — but they all secretly hope to be chosen as THE ONE AND ONLY Gustavus St. Lucia at an elaborate Chapel service. As parents, we are beaming with pride…and slightly puzzled because we’re just barely Swedish. (Melinda has Swedish blood…and I like Swedish vodka.) Whether she wins or not, Katie is elated to be a part of the Swedish Super Bowl.
