anim It Ki tij' f LEFT TO RIGHT: Delta Phi Beta Sorority's Drum for Victory won both flrst place for school spirit and the Sweepstakes Prize. The theme, taken from Flower Drum Song, was colorfully carried out on the flower-covered float. A delicate footbridge led to a huge arch. Here stood two Orientals, represented by sorority members. The second place for school spirit went to Phi Alpha Pi sorority and their clever portrayal of Supercalifragilistic- Victory . The float was constructed in the form of a roof, with a live Mary Poppins perched on the side. Second place in the organizational divi- sion was captured by the men of Delta Phi Rho and their novel construc- tion entitled, Scent of Victory . This large skunk sported moveable eyes and emitted a screen of smoke spray . A small-scale replica of the college chapel, constructed by the Celtic Cross, took the first place in the organiza- tional division, OPPOSITE PAGE, TOP: Homecoming Queen Karen Bluedorn, escorted by Jerry Thompson, was presented to the Buena Vista fans during halftime ceremonies.

A strong wind blew and the cold air made being outside unpleasant. The floats were brought out of hiding and hauled to their respective positions along the lake. A trail of napkins was left wherever the floats went. Many groups feared that the gusty wind would work complete havoc with their delicate handiwork, but quick repairs were done on most of the floats and everything was in order for the parade to begin. The Buena Vista College Marching Band, attired in their brightly colored uniforms, led the parade, playing many rousing songs. The Grand Marshal of the i965 parade was Professor William Green, the college band director. Also in the parade were the enthu- siastic B.V. cheerleaders and our beaver mascot who helped to create' a good feeling of school spirit. The queen's float, designed and constructed by the senior class, carried Queen Karen and her lovely court. Thirty bands representing many high schools in the area were interspersed among the floats and added notes of gaiety to the occasion. The many parade floats were judged as both colorful and clever. 11 Nami! 061 Q Parade

Mid-October brought moving day to the Buena Vista Col- lege campus. The help of extra students was enlisted, and crews of assistants went to work folding boxes and carefully packing them with books from Fracker Library for the several-block trip to the new L.E. and E.L. Ballou Library. Fracker Library, once a barracks at the Sioux City Air Base which had been trucked to Storm Lake in the l940's and upon its arrival had been bricked over, had been an adequate library for a student body of five hundred. However, the growing student body of the l960's and the explosion of knowledge meant that better library facilities were becoming a necessity. Fracker Library had only 3,600 square feet of space so there was room in it to house only a part of the book collection. About 4,000 books were stored in the archives in Dixon Eilers Hall, which meant that they were not available except upon twenty-four hour notice. The curriculum library also had to be located in the administration building. ln contrast, the new library into which the movers were cautiously carrying large boxes of books had about seven times as much space, about 2l,000 square feet. This meant that there was more than enough room for the combined book col- lection of 44,000 stack books, the 400 periodicals to which the library subscribed, and the curriculum library, as well as the extra services which were added after the move. ln the new library there was space for a special audio-visual room, a rare book room, seminar rooms, typing rooms, and special carrels for the use of faculty members. Over two hundred students could be seated in the library at once, in contrast to the seventy who could have been seated in Fracker Library. This meant that after the move, both attendance and circula- tion increased by 3,000 a year. After a week of moving and adiusting to the new set-up, the new library was opened for business. Indeed, the dream of many in the faculty, administration, and student body had come true.
