Homecoming weekend at Georgia Tech is a unique experience, both for the thousands of innocent bystanders who annually cram into Ma Tech's con- crete campus for iust a look, and espe- cially for the many students and time- worn alums who have felt the magic of a Tech Homecoming so many times be- fore and have returned to the campus to reaffirm their faith in those things that are good and lasting - namely old Ma Tech herself. The whirl of fraternity parties, beauties, concerts, The Game, and Ramblin' Recks create a very spe- cial atmosphere on the display-studded campus. The T970 Homecoming Queens were lovely Suzanne Ripley, taking the honor of Miss Homecoming, and Betty Stud- dard, chosen as Mrs. Homecoming.

The Homecoming displays were won this year by Harrison Dorm in the Dormi- tory Division and by AEI-I in the Frater- nity Division. The honor of being the Ramblin' Reck Parade's top pile of junk for T970 went to the TKE's block-long whatever-it-was, with second place going to ATA's elaborate Delta Queen. The Mini-500, another of the Reck Club's activities, was won by ZBT fra- ternity - The hottest set of wheels on campus - with B911 coming in a close second. Tech's new Homecoming event - Homecoming Dog - was won by Yifbos of A2119 The feat which clenched him the title? He drank a six pack of beer. One of the first events of the week- end was the freshman cake race, early Saturday morning. The winners got to kiss Miss Homecoming, Suzanne Ripley.
