sw FRE qv Q , ,..--., ROUNDUP DAY The 1946 Homecoming Day boasts of one of the biggest and best parades since the origin of the event 16 years ago. Contrary to pessimistic prophecies, the weatherman joined forces with Gettysburg festivities to make our big day one of the most beautiful days that fall. Several other novelties tended to make it particularly different from others. The Marshal and his attendants, and the Queen and her attendants decided to carry out the idea of Roundup Day, and rode horses in the parade. The football to be used in the afternoon game with Mobridge was dropped from an airplane by Bob Clark. Reigning over the day were Betty McNeely as queen with Betty Norris and Verla Manfull as her attendants and Dana Peep as marshal with John Cronin and Jim Combellick as his attendants. Winning first prize in the class floats were the Juniors with their idea of a battleship and their slogan Moppin' Up Mobridgef' Placing first among the club floats was the Home Ec Paper Doll Pa- rade. The grand finale of the day was the Homecoming Dance held in the Legion Hall.
