HOMECOMING DENISON STYLE Denison honors her olumni each year with the gala Homecoming celebration. Returning alums and visitors are greeted by Burma- Shave signs along the roads proclaiming their welcome. The weekend has its beginning in the traditional parade down Broadway. Fraternity floats are the main attraction with the bands from Granville and the college sup- plying the martial music. This year Beta Theta Pi copped first place in the fraternity competi- tion. The sororities join in the competitive mood by decorating their houses. For the third successive year the Kappa Kappa Gammas took first place honors. Both fraternities and sororities honor their returning alums by ban- quets at the houses. The day is highlighted by the football game and the crowning of the queen. The title is held this year by Nancy Eshelman. Above: the Sigma Chi Float entry is a comical tissue paper dog. Below: Beta Theta Pi wins first place with their Bishop Pie. King Crumb and his hobo attendants fail to reveal Homecoming queen Eshelman. Page seventeen

DAY The tug-of-war. A frosh victory means the elimination of tiresome beanies. Brunch on sorority circle opens D-Day with a bang! Tension builds up by conjecture and rumor until the chapel bells officially proclaim of Hold That Tiger. There is no doubt. It ' s D-Day. Honk- ing horns, a rush of boys by phone and foot to girls ' dorms, a sleeping spree with no awakening alarms, a day of relaxation and fun for all characterizes this all-school holiday which comes once each semester. Not complete without the all-school brunch and picnic. The annual tug of war between the freshmen and the sophomores and the inevitable dousing in Ebaugh ' s Pond. All this adds joy to study-free hours and indicates the day ' s popularity. Page sixteen
