HOMECOMING- festivities start with Pep Bar-B-Q and Jazzboree JUDGES follow close on the heels of long nights of . . Sleepy students stuffed bright crepe paper into holes in homecoming displays, and alums walked around proudly pointing out their old resi- dences. Friday night the armory rang with cheers for the tomorrow ' s big game, and after the pep barbeque, students flocked to the union for the informal dance or started the rounds of the homecoming displays. This was the one night of the year when walking was the fastest and most popular form of transportation. Saturday morning found crowds of mum-sporting mothers and dates rushing to the stadium with their escorts. Everyone was excited, the students with the promise of a free Monday morning and the alums with a game to renew their school spirit. Later in the afternoon disappointed fans poured out of the bleachers and across the campus to show visitors one last look at the new classroom building. Well, there is always another year. 23

HOT SUN of a beautiful day beats down on the Homecoming crowd. People packed lightly together on the football bleachers, a hot fall sun beating down on the tops of metal helmets and the expectant hush just before the presentation of queen and attendants — half time at the Kansas-ISU Homecoming game. A blast of trumpets and Kay Kolosha, Homecoming Queen for 1962, was escorted to the field followed by Mary Jane Kimball and Pat Hildebrand, at- tendants. The team rushed back onto the field amid the cheering of an excited and still hopeful crowd. Cheer- leaders anxiously paced back and forth trying to watch the game and keep cheering at the same time. The sec- ond half brought a determined but imsuccessfid effort leaving the final score as 29-8. A mixture of talk on the way home included the strong defense used by Kansas, the winning SAE sweepstakes display, and plans for the Homecoming dance that night.
