1951 HOMECOM The crisp fall wea+her and the will to win, both for their school and for their organization, brought all Butler students to the edge of their seats during Homecoming week. Floats and house decorations rose as did the num- ber of sleepless nights. Starting on Wednesday, Mary Sue Jacobs, Delta Gamma, was elected to reign as Queen over the Wel- come-Back celebration. At high noon on Friday the freshmen boys met the year-older sophomores in a Greased Pole Fight, while their female counterparts were straining away in a Tug-o ' -War. The Frosh won and were allowed to doff their dreaded beanies. Then everyone hustled downtown to join in the big parade. The Tri Delts and Sigma Chi ' s won the coveted float awards which were presented that night at the torch light parade, bon-fire and pep rally.
