q H onu ' coniina Hi ' t ' k...l957 Manifesling Sputnik ' s influence, the Homecoming theme for 1957, Out of This World, enabled imaginative enthusiasts to conceive and decorate floats, houses, and dormitories, with startling effect. The outof-this-world moon watched serenely, as tired students worked through the nights and days with chickeh wire, paper napkins, satin, and paint to produce some- thing really Sputnikistic. Striking results were achieved and were rewarded when another orb, the sun, smiled warmly down on Provo for the parade. Crowds lined the route as color- ful, decorative, humorous and imaginative floats provided a joyous spectacle. Gaiety, fun, football, frolics, dancing, com- petitions and rally powered the 1957 Homecoming out of this world. Rocketed above all as queen, Diane Stevenson was en- throned with Lena Davis and Vicki Durrani as attendants. Hundreds of alumni came home for the weekend and were entertained with a full agenda of special alumni events which included luncheons, receptions, open-houses, and tours of the campus, which to some of the alums, is a changed world. Carl Mitchell carried the duties of Homecoming chairman. I Thee Crown, Diane ' s father is applauded as he performs ceremony. Maria singing of her love for Dimitri. The useful and beautiful are never separ- ated. Necessary labor before the presen- tation to three beauties. Queen Diane ' s serenity is rippled by expressions of wonder - question - exhorta- tion - and gaiety. his was their finest hour.
