Selected by a critical group of Tech lettermen, lovely Alive Crow of Ruston reigned as gueen over the college ' s annual Homecoming day celebration, as hundreds of alumni of the Red and Blue poured into town, reviving memories and renewing friend¬ ships. Although her Bulldog gridiron army fought valiantly, and on several occasions pushed the pig¬ skin within inches of victory, they were repeatedly repulsed by a pack of Southeastern Lions. The game ended in a scoreless tie. HOMECOMING DA The gueen and her maids watched the game from a vantage spot on the west sidelines. In the front row are, left to right, ' Miss Nell Hester and Miss Jacgueline Talbert and in the second row Miss Dorothy Lee Stodghill and Miss Nancy Abney Barnes. Regal Alice sits to the rear of her ladies-in-waiting.

Led by the college band and white-clad Richard Brown, Tech ' s All - American baton- twirl er, Homecoming paraders strut briskly down Ruston thorough- lares prior to the loot- ball game. Turning right into Trenton street is the prize-winning float of the physical education department, which was adjudged as best en¬ tered in the Homecom¬ ing parade. Circling the color!ul Blue Jackets, pep squad composed of picked girls, the well-drilled Tech band marches into one of its fancy formations between halves of the game, preparatory to playing the Alma Mater. In pre-game ceremonies Queen Alice hands the foot¬ ball to be used in the contest to Captain Huey Wil¬ liamson. Eddie McLane, director of the Bulldogs, looks on. Now if that tackle had kept out that guard . . says ex-linesman Houston Beaumont to Fred Miller, former Tech athlete, as they leave the Homecoming dance long enough to rehash the afternoon ' s game with Coach Herb Duggins.
