awn Comes, ork Ends Homecoming was the climax of a week of ceaseless work for most Baylor students. This year even the administrators joined in the effort. Bencfactor Carr P. Collins, Trustee Ross Sams, Sr. and Dean of the School of Music Daniel Sternberg broke the ground for the 33751100 wing on Waco Hall. The first building project of Projection 68 will house the School of Music. Float building proved harder work as many students spent a sleepless night putting finishing touches on their floats. Taurus members needed ingenuity and a little lift to place their nominee, Ginny Martin Parker, in position. Journalism students stayed at work until 7 a.m. putting together a special 20-page Homecoming Lariat with magazine insert. Perhaps the only group I to get plenty of sleep before the big weekend was the football team. It had already put in hours of afternoon practice at Baylor Stadium, but still had its hardest work ahead as it met Texas A8rM in the Homecoming game. 4 . tw xc
