After considerable planning by the Student Council and arrangement of final details, November 8 Was announced as the date for the Eureka College Homecoming of 1946. The first all-school activity was started by a fine stunt night at the chapel. Evidently the Tekes' pseudo quiet evening really stole the show, but the Delta Pi's dramatization of how We Girls Play Football was also terrific. All stunts were especially good this year. Homecoming Queen Shirley Rankin was crowned by Dr. Charnock and presented with flowers. The Queen and her Attendants, Dorothy Klas- sovity and Mary Jean Mailloux, were selected by the football team. A big bonfire back campus was the scene of much cheering and singing by Eureka students following the stunts. Homecoming decorations, the result of much hard work, were ready for the judges by Friday, November 8. First prizes went to Phi Omega Sorority and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. In our Homecoming football game the Red Devils clashed with Prin- cipia Saturday, November 9, emerging victorious by a 13-6 score. At 7:00 o'clock in the high school auditorium, the three-act play, f'The Show Off , starring Gregory Josseck, Wanda Sheely and Winifred Topal, was presented to the Homecoming audience. Final tallies at the all-school dance following the play proved the Delta Zeta Sorority and the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity the winners of the 1946 Homecoming Trophies.

THE FESTIVAL BLOOMS AGAIN l P LEFT COLUMN - Queenie of T.K.E.g Delta Pumpkin Pig RIGHT COLUMN, College Floatg Phi O'sg an enterprising gang. In the mammoth Pumpkin Festival parade on September 28, six floats from Eureka College and its organizations showed the ingenuity of their makers and the interest of the faculty and student body in this great community project. Dr. Dickinson drove the car that pulled the Eureka College float. The lamp of knowledge burned brightly with the names of various subjects in- scribed around it. The float was ornamented with college students. Anyone hoping to see any feminine beauty in the Teke float was rather severely disappointed 5 however, this defect was more than made up by feminized males including Greg Josseck, Dick Topal, Bob Bada, Bob Nelson, and George Whitcomb. The Delta Pi Sorority really did themselves up proud for the Festival. Their float was a Delta Pumpkin Pie which looked highly edible-especially with Eleanor Schumacher in the middle. It was the Lambda Chi fraternity that gave us the idea that they were trying to find the secret of making pumpkin-all to no avail. It was plain to see that by the efforts of bewhiskered Foley, Slagle, McMahan, Edwards and Fee that they were able to make synthetic nylon, and tires, and were able to split atoms, but were unable to make pumpkins. Our friends, the Phi Omegas, came through with Maggie Hall as the topic for their float. Dot Klassovity was chained to a miniature Magdalene Hall while Gladys fHousemotherJ Regnier kept guard with keys, and a clock with hands pointing to 10 p. m. I Finally Delta Zeta sorority showered the public with ea float of artistic beauty in the theme of an immense pumpkin blossom and feminine beauty in the forms of B. J. Paxton, Barbara Schmidt, Carol Land, and Nelle Baxter.
