Frigid Festivities . . . Cool, Mon! An Arctic Homecoming Uninvited guests - snow, ice, and freezing temperatures - accompanied the parents, alums, and friends who 'braved the weather to attend Drake's 1959 Homecoming-Parents Weekend, November 6-7. Bundled and booted decorators hammered, nailed, painted, and papier-mached desperately as frost-bitten fingers raced against time to complete decorations for iudging. Although a blanket of snow made many displays resemble white wastes, iudges could see enough to select the decoration win- ners, which were: Sorority First- Alpha Xi Delta Second - Alpha Phi Fraternity First- Tau Kappa Epsilon Second - Alpha Tau Omega Independent First- Kappa Psi Second - Women's Inter-Dormitory Council Chilly weather didn't hamper Homecoming Queen cam- paigns, either, as loyal backers smothered the campus in posters, signs, and fliers, as candidates doffed coats for the campus parade, and as voters hustled to the Student Union to cast their ballots . . . and we do mean ballots. Among the visitors who faced icy highways to attend Drake's Homecoming-Parents Weekend were honored guests Mr. and Mrs. Wilber Sackett, Parents of the Year, from Spencer, Iowa. Although cold weather canceled the traditional Homecom- ing pep rally, it couldn't overcome the warmth of the Val-Air, where the pre-game dance, featuring Richard Maltby's band, was held. . . . and the band played on.

The football team did heed Kappa Psi's advice and did wash those bears right out of our hair. .19 '. ' They said it couldn't be done, but Alpha Xi Delta did it four years in a row! Die-hard football fans peered from under mountains of blankets long enough to breathe a cloudy vapor, down a cup of hot coffee, snatch a quick smoke, and urge the Bulldogs on to a 7-O victory over the Washington of St. Louis Bears - a fitting climax to Drake's 1959 Homecom- ing-Parents Weekend. Tau Kappa Epsilon wanted a whale of a victory - but why did it have to be in a sea of mud? X 27
