Homecoming This year’s Homecoming Day was ushered in by a cold rain which failed fo dampen the spectator's spirits or halt the scheduled festivities entirely. Carole Sholly, Home- coming queen, and her attendents, Eleanor Hale and Betty Heintzelman, were intro- duced to guests and alumni at the noon luncheon in the Georgian Dining Room. Simultaneously, Tau Kappa members held their annual reunion in the Private Dining Room. Then, despite the heavy downfall, many Kutztown spectators went out to see their October 31. 1959.

Disappointment seemed to be the order of the day: the half-time proceedings were cancelled. Pre- game activities had been completed, how- ever, and the Junior class added another feather to its cap when its float won first prize. The other Homecoming activities were the crowning of the queen at the tea, the all-college revue presentation of A Con- necticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and the Halloween Dance sponsored by the Junior class.

All-College Revue The audience which viewed the produc- tion of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court felt themselves transported back to the days when knighthood was in a most unusual flower. The dialogue con- sisted mainly of forsooth and gad- zooks, strictly medieval terminology. The brilliantly colored scenery and the even more brilliantly colored costumes and ac- cessories made the real court of King Arthur seem like a drab peasant's hovel in comparison. Veteran Roy Miller ployed the Yankee who created o turmoil of epic proportions at Camelot and of even greater propor- tions in the heart of the fair Alisande, played by Cecelia Snyder. 9

Thanksgiving Dinner and Dance Turkey in all its culinary splendor graced the Thanksgiving board. Flickering candles added to the festive atmosphere. With heads bowed, each expressed gratitude in his own way for the blessings of the past year. The sound of swirling gowns and the scent of flowers filling the air followed the elaborate repast. Silvery decorations pro- vided a romantic background, and the soft music made the couples feel as though they could have danced all night. November 21. 1959.
