First prize was awarded to the Lamha Epsilon Phi Society for their huge, luscious-loolcing, pink-and-white birthday cake. The Philo Society claimed the best-decorated house, which featured a Simp- son foothall star going through a clothes wringer.

Then the crowd, booted and umbrella-ed, waded to the gym. Under the clever management of Sophia Heer- en, the coronation of the queen had been planned as an out-of-door event, but the cere- mony was none the less impressive because of its hasty removal to the gym. After a Grand Marcli to the strains of Schubert's Ballet Music, Carolyn Ammerman, with her attendants, Helen Vander Pol, Billie Shawver, Hazel Ulferts, and Virginia Van Gorp, mounted a low platform at the end of the room. There, before a host of students, faculty, alumni, and friends, Carolyn, the choice of the student body, was crowned by President Lubbers as I-Iomecoming Queen.
