53 HOMECOMING A successful homecoming week-end began on Friday, Oct. 2 as approximately 160 couples danced to the musical offerings of Larry Foster and his orchestra from 9-I2 p.m. in the Loras College Fieldhouse. At I0 p.m. Miss Diane Pape was crowned queen to reign over the homecoming festivities. Following the crowning, the next dance was held in Miss Pape's honor. The fieldhouse was color- fully decorated with the letters LA hanging from the center of the ceiling, and a goalpost with a football player in the middle of the crossbar was situated behind the bandstand. Two graves rep- resenting Loras' first two '53 victories over Clin- ton and Fort Dodge were on the left of the stand, and on the right side of the banclstancl was an open grave which represented a potential victory over Dowling. The following evening a combination pep rally and mixer was held in the fieldhouse with records supplying the music. During an intermission, the queen and her court along with several other speakers wished the Cubs the best of luck and encouraged all Loras Academy students to back their team. Sunday afternoon the final touches were put on a very successful homecoming week-end as the Loras Academy Cubs defeated the Dowling eleven, 33-7, in a game played in the Rock Bowl Stadium. Before the game the entire ROTC bat- talion marched onto the field, gave a cheer for Left: A few of the couples that attended the Home- coming Dance. Below: Go, go, Cubs keep going . . .
