Homecoming: A time to come home to FHSU No one could say he was bored. A colorful parade, a heart-stopping football game, an amusing musical and an exciting concert highlighted Home- coming Weekend Oct. 12-14. The Tigers were denied a homecom- ing victory by the Pittsburg State Goril- las in a 27-26 contest which had fans tense with excitement up to the final second. A failed two-point extra-point attempt by the Tigers was the deciding factor in the game. Named as homecoming queen during the games halftime was Nancy Mabry, Lincoln junior. Along with Mabry, Leti- tie Bohme, Colby senior; Kitza Knight, Burr Oak sophomore: Audrey Paxson, Penokee senior; and Kim Schultze, Osborne senior, com- peted for the honor and rode in that morning s parade. Fewer floats accompanied the Homecoming parade down Hays’ Main Street, but many enthusiastic bands and walking entries made up the difference. From cute 5-year-old twirlers to 70-year-old Tiger Club members, the parade featured 60 entries, ' Homecoming is really the high- light of the year for alumni, said Sally Ward, executive secretary of the Alumni Association. There were were around 4,000 alumni m Hays that week- end and the number keeps growing every year. In addition to numerous alumni ban- quets and parlies, the musical Sugar was presented by the drama depart- ment Oct. 12-14. Atlanta Rhythm Sec- tion also performed Saturday night at Gross Memorial Coliseum. Homecoming IS
