The event, Parents' Day, is not a new event in it- self: the way it was held was new. For the first time, it was held separately from Homecoming. According to W.S. Scott, director of guidance services, there are several reasons for this change. There was a general feeling among the two committees that the activities were detracting from each other, Scott said. Also, each of the events are quite a chore to put on singly, and putting them together was almost impossible. The day started with the registration of 120 parents. After this, parents were led on tours of the campus by student guides represen- ting the various clubs. Mike Friday, student guide, felt parents were im- pressed with certain aspects of the campus. Many of the parents were really impressed by ireland Hall in par- ticular, Friday said. They liked the up-to-date cosmetology facilities and the laboratory used by both the i2!parents day Medical Laboratory Technicians and law enforcement students. The parents were impressed by the restoration iob done to the Auditorium-Gymnasium. They liked the idea of renovating sound buildings instead of building com- pletely new facilities. The next part of Parents' Day was the chili feed held in the Nelson Student Center cafeteria. Ap- proximately 200 people were present, making it the biggest ever attended. The attendance of the Cowley- Coffeyville football game was the next item on the agenda for most of the parents. Here they had the option of being introduced to the crowd at half time and some 70 parents par- ticipated. They were then welcomed with a special cheer. The final segment of Parents' Day was the least attended. Only three couples showed up - the rest of the crowd consisted of the committee, said Peggy Paton, chair- man ofthe committee.

Th Longest Parade of the Year stretched from Wilson Park to Newman's with 96 entries The 52nd Arkalalah Parade was the longest parade of the year. Stretching serpent-like from Wilson Park to Newman's the 96 entries entertained the more than 25,000 spectators for nearly three hours. Only minutes before dual aerial bombs sounded the blasts which signaled the start of the Saturday af- ternoon parade, spectators found themselves in the middle of a slow, cold drizzle that was to occur in- termittently for the entire parade. But the rain did little to dampen the spirits of the crowd or the five Cowley sophomore women who reigned as Queen Alalah finalists. Queen Deb- bie Blatchford and her court made the trip down Summit Street twice and gave those at the beginning of the parade a different look at the finalists as they ran to iump on a float. We were supposed to have a car waiting for us at Newman's but it didn't show up, said Staci Jimison, finalist. We knew we were supposed to be at the reviewing stand but without the car escort there was no way to get there. Finally, we got back to the starting point of the parade and ran a half block to iump on the Little Mr. and Miss Arkalalah float so it could take us to the reviewing stand. I was glad I had on a full dress because the girls who had on straight skirts really had a hard time run- ning. Although the parade was the climax of Arkalalah, the fall celebration started with the coronation on Friday night in the college's Auditorium-Gymnasium. The coronation was followed by en- tertainiment from the CowleyCo singers, under the direction of vocal music instructor Kenneth Judd. Several acts followed, including a gymnastic routine by Nicky Yocum, daughter of head football coach Bill Yocum. The coronation ball was highlighted by the Grand March featuring the queen and her court. Saturday morning began with the Kiwanis Pancake Feed, the marching band competition, the IO kilometers and the two-mile races and the street games. Cowley faculty, staff and students particpated in the events and police science students were on duty to aid in crowd control. We worked in the morning direc- ting the runners, said Blane Barker, police science student. I had to time them, too. Later, we had to man the barricades but we got a free meal at Brick's so we didn't mind. That night we checked the stores uptown, so it was full day for us. Cosmetology students also got in the act by running a foodstand at the parade. It was the first year we had tried this but it was pretty much a success. Next year it should be even better because then we won't have the ex- pense of the building, said Kim Mayfield, organizer of the foodstand. am-T-.sees so mfg-an o Q 4 on Q o can ae as in oe sea emanates save-muon Q g Q Q 9 ' R KALALAH ' Q O 5 9 Q 9 at it nf on n 9 in Q Q will s e ge-at Q 3 any sg aavy Q - AN EVENT T0 REMEMBER - M0m9l'llS UHOI' 'hit Ruthie Fields, Debbie Blatchford, Staci Jimison, Performers for the evening included the coronation, queen candidates Doreen Befort, qnd Kim 0'Dqnl9I enjoy the entertainment.
