Works of Art MOMENTS OF EXCITEMENT - Homecoming is exciting enough for the spectator, but his tension is nothing as compared to that of participants in the various events on the Homecoming program. Interest in floats and in queen campaigns builds as the crucial days approach. The candidates really feel the pressure when they report for the luncheon and realize pleasant mannered but critical judges are eyeing their every move. And then there is that sweet-terrible moment for candidates and float sponsors alike just before the decision of the judges is announced. The size of the Homecoming crowd is certain to give a few extra butterflies to the players, too. It may seem painful at the moment, but when Home- coming has become history, the old cliche be- comes true — a good time was had by all. CORONATION - Outgoing queen of 1962, Marion Gross, crowns Vicki Dow the queen of 1963. 23 LUCKY CANDIDATES - The three successful candidates were left fo right, Pam Nutter, princess; Vicki Dow, queen, and Vicki Biss, princess.

Pretty Girls HOMECOMING CROWD - There was a real scramble for good seats to watch the crowning of the new queen as well as the football game against Fullerton. Among the scramblers are Rhett Sanborn, Sandi Laputz, Rick Wolfe, and Nora Harris. Homecoming Dates FULL CALENDAR - Homecoming is a busy time, and not all of the busy-ness is concen- trated on the day of the game. Organizations sponsoring queen candidates start early to select their nominee and to plot their cam- paign strategy. All this, of course, in addition to actual construction problems. On the Thurs- day before the game, Kiowa-Z honors queen candidates at luncheon. On Friday, events be- gin with a rally in the Pit which soon becomes a parade which wends its way Downtown and to the Plaza, carrying news of the big event to alumni in the community. Friday evening comes the Big Game and the coronation of the Queen. HOMECOMING DANCE - Following the big game was the dance held in the Gym. James Agnew and his date Loretta Jones step to the music of Gene Walsh and his orchestra.

December Brings Christmas YULETIDE is ever a happy season. Underlying it all, of course, is the religious basis of the holiday, but it is the more secular aspects of the season that dominate the campus scene. And even these moods are varied. Students and faculty bask in relaxed sociability as they sip punch and munch cookies and the noontide wassail. They loosen up their vocal cords and practice songs and carols for the annual assembly. They schedule their own gay round of parties. WASSAIL - Stocking up on Christmas erfreshments are Mary Lou Plana, Dan Coombs, Sussan Shuttleworth, and Carol Fitzpatrick. 24 YULETIDE HARMONY - Band Director John Guin leads a male chorus in Christmas carols. Singers include Tom Ray, Steve Marks, Dennis Wilson, Ron Aaron, and Mark Shepard.
