Event filled Homecoming weekend Homecoming on the Loras and Clarke campuses was highlighted by a number of events. A rousing pep rally on the eve of the game officially started the weekend activities. As tradition has it, the loudest rooting section is entitled to free beers at the pub. The competition was tough, but an earsplitting group of Clarke girls proved their spirit the loudest. Grand Marshall Msgr. George Schulte spoke at the rally along with representatives of the football team and student body. The dubious honor of APO's King and Queen Lush went to John Boyle and Ellen Mitchell. Clarke junior, Rose Dolan, was crowned the l974 Homecoming Queen. Her court was comprised of Kathy Keller and Deb- bie Linebarger of Loras, and Mary Costello and Maribeth Genoar of Clarke. An overcast sky did not dampen the high spirits of those involved in the parade. An enthusiastic crowd lined the streets of downtown Dubuque to view the pass- ing splendor. The Colt .45 Cadets along with seven school bands, floats, horses, antique cars, and representatives of campus organizations marched down Main Street. In the afternoon, Loras and St. Ambrose resumed rivalry on the field before a large and excited crowd. At half-time Msgr. Friedl introduced the Jubilee class of l924. The Grand Marshall and the Queen and her court were also presented. The Colt .45 provided rousing entertainment for all honored guests. The Duhawks did not disappoint their fans as they posted an I8-6 victory over the Ambrose Bees. What a dayl Dreams of An Evening in Paris came true as couples danced to the music of Armagedon at the Elk's Lodge. Paris sidewalks and a mural of French drawings carried the theme, along with flowers, candles and a champagne foun- tain as finishing touches. A Homecoming Mass was concelebrated Sunday by members of the class of l924 with the Loras Choir in acclamation. The Homecoming festivities ended with the Student Senate showing of the movie Camelot, Hard work and planning were the key factors to this year's successful Homecoming weekend. The entire weekend's activities will remain a memorable part of the underlying enthusiasm at Loras. l lefti Dewey Duhawk rides Alpha Psi Omega's winning float in Saturday's parade. above: Members of the Jubilee Class of l924 after Sunday's concelebrated mass. top right: The Office of Financial Aid blew their budget for the year with this prestigious entry into the parade float competition.
