AUGIE llKES A PARTY Angie's alI-school parties an: unique in their friendly, hget-acquninted atmosphere. IV lxcrs, squarc-dancing, com- munity singing provide fun for everyone h whether date or hstag. No party is the same, either. There was the iirst mxxer, Smgemarb Daze, for instance, where faculty members, especially, got into the spirit of the Old West with six-shuoters and ten-gallon hats. Everyone broke out the XVestern garb again for the W'AA merI-Up late: in the fall. Square-dancing was the otder of the evening again at both the March of Dimes party and the 01d Timerf Ball, sponsored by the Swedish Club. Although every party is different. they are all alike in their informality as both faculty and students get together for a good time.

This was Homecoming 1951. All the tradiA tions were the same 7 the bonfire, the e snake-dance, thc sing. Somehow, though, I every Homecoming is different e a little bigger and better than the last. This year, for I instance, the victory bell rang as Vi-Royalty ' Pat Tillhetg and By Swanson walked down the aisle; and on campus, large pictures of the King and Queen hung above the driveway. No one will forget the siug-undcr the bellA tower far the ftrst time. It was won by the h Phi Rhos 2nd Dons. I At the parade, held in spite of the rain, the long nights and early morning hours of wark were rewarded. Cups were given to the Speeds and Dons for beauty, Keys and Pops for I originality. During half-time ceremonies, cups were also awarded to the Phi Rhos for their yell, and to the lndees for the '51 Homecoming theme, tkAugie Towers in Time. The activities of a full week-end were cli- maxed by the banquet and the ball Saturday 4 night. Here Annabelle La Rose was crowned A Homecoming Princess. Then on Sunday morn- ing carlywrisets attended :1 special service in the chapel. After sorority and fraternity dinners and open-house in the afternoon, Homecuming : 1951 was over.
