Monica Lund berg photo ... continued At the rally, there was a take-off of the popular game show “Wheel of Fortune,” where the contestants spelled out “Dawgs” and “Huskies,” and the winner was allowed to destroy a papier-mache Or- egon Duck. There were also performances by the talented Husky Marching Band, speeches, and bantering by the master of ceremonies and his guests, and their spirited ac- tivities. Tony Vcntrclla said after- wards that the rally was ”... just terrific, fun, a good feel- ing!” Howard Hawkins, a reg- ular rally attendee since 1964 summed it up by saying “I think they’re getting better ev- ery year!” After the rally, people came from near and far in great numbers for the annual Home- coming dance. The large and enthusiastic crowd danced to both live and stereo music, eat- ing the food, drinking mock- tails, and watching everyone else. The Homecoming royalty was presented at the dance as well. The game was a predicted slaughter of the Oregon Ducks. The Huskies smashed ’em with a score of 38-3. The crowd went wild.
