Pre-Tigerama, the warm-up for the evening ' s entertainment, and a pep rally began the fes- tivities. A record-breaking audience witnessed the third annual production of Tigerama. The result of many long hours of planning, practice, and hard work, the student spectacular was again a smash- ing success. The improvised stages in Memorial Stadium brought forth comedy, satire, and humor as Clem- son ' s hidden talent was uncovered. Dialogue, greasepaint, script, strode lights, front stage center, and curtain calls became familiar words to participating students. Co-ed Nancy Edwards was crowned Miss Tigerama by Barbara Dillard, the previous queen. Nancy was elected in a campus-wide election. Among the many features contributing to Tigerama were the Golden Age of Music pre- sented by Mu Beta Psi, the Russian War Dance by the International Students Association, a satire on the Senior Platoon by the Pershing Rifles, a womanless wedding by the Mecklenberg County Club, and a fire-eating exhibition by Mac Mc- Cahan. Also adding to the enjoyment were vari- ous types of entertainment by the Faculty Square Dance Team, the Tiger Tones, and the Fainettes. Rounding out the program were presentations by the Bengals and the band and majorettes. The finale was a brilliant display of fireworks which enthralled an enchanted audience. Once more, the festive event was chalked up as a suc- cess and a Homecoming highlight. The flashing and noise of a wide variety of fireworks pleased the crowd.
