HUMIIIUMINH ' Do you think it will ever stop raining? That was a question fre- quently asked through-out school during Homecoming week, but did it ,put a damper on the traditional M. C. Homecoming enthusiasm? No, not in the least, The students fell in line and cooperated to make this year's the biggest and best 'Homecoming ever held in M. J. C. I The three day celebration started on Wecliiesclay, Gctober 8, when Alpha Pi and Theta Kappa Epsilon held a big feast at Hart's Cafe. On Thursday evening the M Club and Red Hots held their annual banquets. They both adjourned before 8:CO o-'clock because what member of MJ. C. alumni, or what student of M. C. or what person in Mo- berly would think of missing the mass meeting? No sir! Everyone turns out for that and if you had seen the gym that night you would believe it. The C. band was there to lend their audible as well as moral supp-ort. The Red Hots gave their annual stunt and it even surpassed last year's record for good entertainment. In the stunt Miss Susie Shurtleff appeared at the Moberly Beauty Boosters School, but she didn't have a chance. After the echoes of applause had died away Stanley Isle, student body president, revealed the big secret everybody had been waiting for. Miss Irene Arthur was her- alded Queen of the 1941 Homecom- ing with Misses Dolores Guild, Marjorie Sue Fox, Irene Hayob, and Dottie Wilsoii as members of her Royal Court. Miss Homecoming led the crowd out of the gym to the side of the building where she lit the big Victory bonfire. It wasn't long before things got pretty hot for Shurtleff. After all the encitement of the night before it wasn't hard for those N. G. N. girls to get up and be at Hart's for breakfast at seven the next morning. just think of the big parade at 10:30. Yes, from the wee hours of dawn trucks were being decorated for the big parade. Every organi- zation was determined to have the best float in the whole parade, but it seems the Juniors were a little more determined than the rest be- cause they won first prize. Their float depicted a football player smeared with blood. A sign hang- ing from the side read Tear 'em up Greyhounds. At noon the classes of 1929 to 1936 met at the Blue Moon and the classes of 1937-41 met at Hart's to partake of a bit of nourishment. Imagine the fun they had discuss- ing the good ol' times they had previously had in MJ. C. Then at 2:15 came the climax of all the Homecoming Activities. Yes, that's right-the football game between Moberly and Shurt- leff. Moberly tried hard, but at the half the score was in favor of Shurt- leff. SIXTY-EIGHT

I-IOMECOMING ALBUM C13 Beauty Boosters is right, C25 Juniors foresee the outcome of the game. Q39 The Band marches on. 145 A11 of Moberly joins in the Homecoming parade. VVere we downhearted? No! The band marched out to lend a bit of color, a bit of music, and a bit of spectacular drilling to the occasion. The two pep squads joined them, formed a V for Vic- tory and gave some yells. Even after the yells, plus the pep talk Coach McCormick gave the team during the half, they still couldn't get started. The boys fought like demons, but the final score was still 47-O. Immediately after the game Phi Theta Kappa and Kappa Phi Delta held their annual alumni teas. Oh! you should have seen those dainty little sandwiches, cakes and cup of coffee disappear. As an anticlimax and a grand clos- ing to the activities came the big dance. All the little Janes and Johnnies turned out to dance to the music of Ray Leffman and his or- chestra. At 10:15 the Queen was crowned under a false ceiling rep- resenting a gridiron. The music started again and after an hour or so more of dancing everyone went home, tired but happy, to dream of the best Homecoming on record- the 13th annual Homecoming. . SEVENTY
