Members of the homecoming committee, co-chaired by Dr. N. G Tate, Michael Nyikos and Dean Bill Pugh, met in emergency session five days before parade time to iron out difficulties which arose concerning the theme handed down by student senate ;Quickly circulated petitions found their way to the committee chairmen demanding that the theme. Raiders a go-go! be dropped ifor something more appropriate in keeping with the sophistication land grandeur of the school ' s long tradition. After a lengthy dis- cussion at which new possibilities were offered, a roll call vote left the original theme in effect; dissenters agreed to follow the selection with vigor; it can be said that they did so with sincerity ®™ ' ' •w- Ji = »»»»«», ij -Vw- •• ' -•« ' , -

i- r ' pMgp WP i .i Linked with hilarity, the tramtion- ally proper and dignified custom of presenting corsages was given a shot in the jocular vein this year by fun-loving Tiny Bender and Mike Skurja as they presented surprise boxes to Lana Curtis and Joella Sowell. Amid gales of laughter the foursome departed for the gym where the dancing was underway. At left, Brett and Mrs. Henry, along with Terry Schmidt, manage the flower ritual with singular solemnity. At bottom, Dr. Duane Smith and home- coming co-chairman Michael Nyikos rehash the afternoon grid tussle in- volving Fort Lewis and the Colorado School of Mines. Although Coach Lou CuUen ' s eager eleven seemed opti- mistic prior to the opening kick-ott— and throughout the game, for that matter— the Orediggers upset Fort Lewis in a 35-18 show of strength. Raiders had dusted off Colorado School of Mines during their 64 encounter and had hoped for a sec- ond victory. Ken Guzik initiated his successful season of field goal tallies before the estimated attendance of 1,400 to place Fort Lewis first on the scoreboard following a series of fum- bles by both squads. Again in the second period, Fort Lewis jumped from behind with a one-yard drive by Lloyd Moore, but the lead was short- lived. By fourth quarter, both teams seemed sagged, but Fort Lewis came alive in a desperate drive that almost set the Orediggers back on their ears. A 64-yard pass play between Chuck Wiening and Lloyd Moore sent Moore scurring down the left side of the field to complete the most spectacular scoring play of the contest. Wiening carried the ball to a two-point con- version bringing the score to 28-18. That was all for FLC. Below, Ken Giesen, Martin Sollars, Pat Powell and Clint McAuliffe excha nge polite conversation while John Coy, Steve Quinn and Sandy Benzel take advan- tage of the music. 20
