So Long Wodd We partied from Memphis to New Orleans, from Little Rock to Jacksonville, from Lambert ' s Grocery to the Fin and Feather Cafe. Parties, the biggest and best, were a tradition at Ole Miss a tradition we upheld in a grand way. In fraternity houses, in sorority hourses, or in dormitories, we could have a party anywhere. The parties began in the summer with rush parties and got going in a big way as soon as we got back to school. Ple dge parties, dances, smokers, and miscellaneous dormitory cele- brations kept us entertained. Football season meant more parties at Memphis, at Little Rock, and especially on the train trips to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Knoxville. With the second semester the party tempo increased with the fraternity and sorority formals. We worked occasionally, we studied at times, but we partied incessantly.

If only Mary Ann wore here Farnh Reunion On November 8 the streets of Oxford and Ole Miss were choked with traffic, cars bearing the license plates of every conceivable state in the nation. Ole Miss was having its Homecoming, and old grads were coming home. They came from all over, came back to Ole Miss, hoping to recapture the glow of their own college days. Mothers accompanied by their three children stared wistfully at the slim figures of the coeds, as did their husbands. Old yarns were swapped and re-swapped, rusty lungs again bellowed forth a rousing Hoddy Toddy, and mellow spirits covered the campus like London fog. Harried fraternity and sorority members watched helpless- ly as a sudden Oxford rain doused their Homecoming dec- orations and the months of planning and work that went along with them. Old fraternity members gathered in the houses and related fascinating tales of their own under- graduates exploits while their wives smiled icily. At the game Hemingway Stadium was rocked by cheers while Houston was being rocked by Ole Miss. The aroma of victory pleased all of us, and after the game a thorough investigation of other heady aromas proved equally pleasing. Again the fraternity and sorority houses were filled to overflowing, with The Good Old Days ' ' being the prime topic of discussion. Sunday the weary grads set out again for home, and shouts of See y ' all next year! We hope so. 4 I pronounce you Queen for a Day Hormones for Barney ib 18
