Students icular one iged the Pit for pre-game rallies, in anticipation of the Homecoming game. On display behind the song leaders is the Sports- manship Trophy, which we didn ' t keep long.

The name was aban- doned, probably because nobody could spell it. Fortunately, however, the skirts are just as short as they ever were, and the girls even prettier.

Homecoming Never Changes SIGMA RHO CHI won first place in Class I. Indians ' Last Stand, 1963 Homecoming theme, was carried out with colorful mannikins. QUEEN ANDREA BALOGH smiles tearfully beside prize-winning float shortly after her coronation at game. Tradition IF THERE IS ONE TIME when you don ' t want much change, it ' s during Homecoming. Old Grads like to be able to recognize all the old familiar places. The Sun Dial must still silently mark the hours under syca- more trees that tower above it as they al- ways did.

The ramp down to the stadium is perforce as steep (well, maybe just a little steeper) as it ever was. It hardly seems possible that we could be even a little prejudiced, so we predict con- fidently that even the most grizzled grad will have to admit there is one chang e for the better. Surely he must concede that the floats get more elaborate and imaginative each year, and must assuredly he will con- cede that the Homecoming queen and her princesses are more lovely than ever. To be sure, the tides of football fortune ebb and flow — there have been more impres- sive records than the one scored by this year ' s gridders — but old-time fans learned that one more Homecoming tradition re- mains unchanged: in this game, above all others, the Tiger team was out there giving its all for victory.
