HOMECOMING... Over the camnus could be heard the sounds of hammers striking nails and wood in the early hours of the morning of October 3- The day of Homecoming was at last here. The hard w'ork continued until ten o'clock Saturday morning. At last a happy group of Jacksonville State College students put the final touches on the floats and cars, and the event was underway. The parade, led by the Jacksonville Police Department, was an exciting spectacle. Next came the Jacksonville High School Band, and then J.S.C.'s marching Southerners. The Ballerinas marched and danced in perfect timing as the parade headed toward the college. Following the bands came the floats and cars which were sponsored by different organizations, The sponsoring organizations for the floats were the Junior Class, Law Club, R.O.T.C., Art Club, Freshman Class, Future Business Leaders of America, Science Club, and the Baptist Student Union. The B.S.U. won the first prize of $50. As students and alumni came back to the campus, the decorations of the different dormitories were displayed. First prize for the dorms was w'on by Pannell Hall. Its decoration consisted of a huge pirate ship with a Bucaneer being forced to walk the gangplank by a Gamecock. The concert given by the Jacksonville High School Band on Saturday afternoon was enjoyed by both students and alumni. A far-away look was seen in the eyes of the alumni. Apparently, they were remembering when they were once the happy group of students who worked so hard for a successful Homecoming Day. This is a close-up view of the winning dormitory decoration, sponsored by Pannell Hall. •phis sign in front of Bibb Graves was one of many means of welcoming the alumni to the college. [ 28 ]
