While the committee busily planned, the Greeks went into action, armed with paint, kleenex, bales of chicken wire, and every imaginable type of mechanical contrivance. The noise of hammering filled warehouses and garages tucked away in out-of-the-way places in the countryside, where Greeks buz- zed excitedly over plans and pictured that shiny trophy on their own display shelves. Other organizations made plans for novelty entries or decorated cars. Have you heard? Jimmy Dorsey's orches- tra is going to play at the dance! The news buzzed around the campus, and bright-col- ored formals came out of closets for inspec- tion and refitting. At last the big weekend arrived. Crowds gathered early for the pep rally at Houck Stadium, where enthusiasm mounted with the leaping flames of a huge bonfire. Then came the tense moment of the announcement of the winner of the queen contest-the crowd hushed, and Miss Carolyn Hopkins stepped forward to be crowned queen of the festivi- ties. The weekend's first activities ended as the crowds poured from the stadium. CSee next page? Crowds began to line the parade route early the next morning, which dawned cool and beautiful. Soon, windows, roofs, chairs -anyihing would do to get a good view. The parade assembled farther down in town, accompanied by shouted directions, the honking of horns, and a general atmosphere of excitement. At last, the noise quieted, a whistle shrilled, then the parade rolled for- ward, led by the queen and her court, the coaches, Chief Sag and his princess, and the cheerleaders. Ten floats, eight cars, thirty- seven high school bands, the Golden Eagles, and such assorted entries as a spaghetti wag- on, the first appearance of the Pike fire truck, an Indian-infested trailer, a medieval lord on horseback, and a bear-dumping truck rolled behind them.
