Planning begins for Homecoming days There was little time for idleness during the weeks of planning before the 1968 Homecoming weekend. Campaigning for the queen and princess hopefuls, arranging for the 62 units for the parade along Ocean Boulevard, designing and building 20 beau- tiful floats, and planning the remaining activities such as the dance and bonfire required hundreds of hours. The hours passed by too quickly, especially for Queen Kay Hollywood and her father, James Hollywood, who flew in from New York to share his daughter's success. Kappa Sigma's Small World float won the Sweepstakes Award and first place in the A division. The Theme Award, based on A Tribute to Walt Disney, went to Sigma Phi Epsilon's Dwarf the Mustangs float, which also received the President's Award. The Flying Dumbo of Sigma Kappa received the Mayor's Award and also took first place in the B division. 26 Worker gets busy helping to raise the 35-foot-high Homecoming tent.
