When College Life Becomes College is preparation for life and to this we will sub- scribe. Lectures, recitations, labors in the library, exam- inations, dissecting ihe frog, writing the theme, and sol v- ing the theorem are part of those things comprising the essence of education. But very important are those easily digested palatable ingredients that also prepare us uniquely for this life ahead. These are the frosting on the cake, the nuts in the cookie, the meringue on the custard. The an- ticipation of .Saturday ' s game . . . the game itself . . . the sound of music . . . and those other moments when college life becomes lighthearted, complete the image of college and its overriding purpose. The Saturday afternoon curriculum ... in action. 26

Homecoming Festivities Bring Many Memories . . . Ebeneezer Scrooge had a ision of things to come. Hope- fully, of a difTerent cut than Scrooge, we watch the grads return and again trod the paths that we now trod. It was only yesterday, or perhaps the day before, that they too fashioned the floats, embellished the dormitory facades, piled high the bonfire rubble, danced the light fantastic . . . and watched other grads return. And as the years pass, we too will recall with delight the homecoming festivities all presented under the theme of fun, fall and football . . . that Saturday morning parade ... the rain that almost ruined the day . . . but finally, the sun emerged from the clouds to kiss the crown that was placed atop Queen Sandra ' s coifTure . . . No, we will not forget. Homecoming, to us, is a vision of things to come and a memory of things in the past. Too, it strengthens our devotion to Middle Tennessee State College PRESENT and deepens our respect for Middle Tennessee State College PAST. The Homecoming bon-fire sil- houettes Queen Sandra Wynne. The Thirsty Thirteen add plenty of noise to the Homecoming pep rally. Cleverness and beauty are characteristics of the Homecoming parade floats.
