Performances of the Variety show were given on NVednesday and Thursday evenings, with the queen being crowned during XVednesday evenings intermission. After that, a constant round-the-clock vigil tested the endnr- ance of all. Starting Friday night, the snake dance led Macites into a piano-tearing pepfest, bonfire and soc-hop. Anyone looking forward to sleeping late the next morning was sorely disappointed, however, for at 6 a.m. the bagpipes sounded and everyone was up for this year's new addition to Home- coming festivities, the Hangover, complete with calisthenics. At 10 the parade formed to slink its way down Snelling to Hamline, then to St. Thomas, then to the Shriner's hospital. Saturday afternoon was the long awaited game. Spirits were only slightly dampened by the gridiron defeat. VVeek co- chairmen were Betsy Templeton and Bob Stimson.
