W Me, Private Horace Hargrove, guest of honor at the Emporia State Homecoming. And with their Homecom- ing queen- Oh to be king for a day! Well, the invitation arrived, and I talked it over with the C. O. tGood guy, the C. 03, were like this tcrossed fingem me on the bottom, of course. He said, iiSure Hargrove, take the week-end off, the month off ; in fact, personally, I donit care if you never come backlii SO I CAME; and golly, it was fun. 28 Q. S. W. T. Walking up the campus, I surely was surprised at what I found. Imagine-no decorations! Only the Administration Building, the Student Union, and the Sta- dium were decorated by various campus groups, financed by the Student Council. 'But when the Student Council twho controlled Homecoming for the first time this yeari explained that they were put- ting up fewer decorations this year to conserve money and materials for the war effort, I decided that it was pretty won- derful. This is the kind of patriotism that makes us fellows proud to march, march, march, and to drill, drill, drill.

OOKING UP from the playing field we see the other side of this great game -the side of the spectator. Outstanding features included the traditional flag rais- ing ceremonies, aided this year by a mili- tary guard of honor from the boys in the military reserve training classes. The college band, under the direction of Orien Dalley, took over the ttfifteen minute intermissionsi, between halves of the home games and provided brilliant spectacles of marching and music. They assisted in the coronation of the Home- coming Queen during the Southwestern game, and between periods of the Hast- ings game they formed an A for the Army, an M for the Marines, and an N for the Navy While playing the songs of these three branches. Sigma Pi Sigma, girls pep organiza- tion, aided cheerleaders Laura Tucker, Mavis Richardson, Betty Long, and Marie Shaver in keeping up the pep Of a de- pleted student body. If this be the last football season for the duration of the war, it has been a great, if not a completely successful, sea- son. When once again the Hornets take to the field you may be sure that the Hor- net sting Will still be present. The Hor- net may have his wings clipped, but he Will never lose his sting.

OON AFTER my arrival, I discovered that I had a job to do. My real capac- ity during Homecoming was as organizer of the traditional Homecoming Follies held Friday evening. Iill admit that. Dr. Gilson and Miss Kayser helped some, and Velna Stoutis script did come in handy; but I did the real work. I think thatis why they asked me down.
