A lonely girl and a lonely tiger keep each other com- pany in the cold light of dawn on Homecoming Day. . . . Homecoming. The day of return and reverie arrived as LSU met Florida in a gridiron battle. To members of the Greeks, Homecoming means late hours, strained muscles and aching fingers tired of twisting crepe paper. But the results are well worth it. The campus was alive with gay decorations de- picting scenes of vast agony for the Gators and great triumph for the Tigers. Fraternities brave the early morning hours too, for the decorations must go up and besides, they ran out of crepe paper the night before.

Even the Field House is deserted at this hour of the morning. Early birds get some eye-opening coffee to start work. Somehow the boys generally manage to end up build- ing the sorority decorations every year. How unselfish! Deep concentration is required to draw ev en an alligator ' s eye straight.

On stage at the Homecoming Show, one of the many awards is presented before the ap- preciative audience. Homecoming crowds line the parade ground to watch the militar y display their marching skill. The first item on the agenda for grads and students alike was the military parade. Cadets and their spon- sors marched to the parade ground, displaying their skill for the onlookers. A number of other morning activities were scheduled for the alums, including a giant barbeque courtesy of the Block and Bridle Club. In the afternoon, LSD turned on the talent for the guests. The annual homecoming show Tiger Fever took place in the Gym. Carefully selected students blended their talent under the direction of Gene Quaw to make a wonderful, lively production.
