Each one a queen. The evening festivities began with the traditional ringing of the Phi Sigma Chi victory bell. As the crowds gathered in the stands of Top Taggert Field the enthusiasm was invigorated by the pep rally contests. A new event introduced this year was a hula hoop contest, which proved to be very ex- hausting but left the crowds in rollicking laughter. After the queen candidates were driven by the stands in luxurious sports cars, President Spathelf an- nounced Miss Bonnie Peacock, the candidate of Delta Tau Epsilon, a omecoming queen. This was fol- lowed - . roaring onfire and the burning in ef -y of the College 0 inois team. The snake dance progressed from the otbull field to the annual Alpha Phi Beta all sch- dance in the dome room. Hollywood, here I come. We never stagger, we never fall. The remainder of Friday and the early hours of Saturday were consumed in the frenzied final pre- paration of homecoming floats and displays.
