HCDMECGMI G EVE TFLIL D Y E TERTAINS ALUMS ABOUT 800 ALUMNI returned to the campus for the 34th annual Homecoming. Saturday they took in a family reunion breakfast, the Homecoming parade, a barbecue and the- MSU- BYU football game. The classes of l902 and i927 were honored, After the game lBYU 28, MSU 73 receptions, open houses and an informal dance ended the festivities. Because so little time was available to prepare for Homecoming, fra- ternities did not put up house decorations. Instead they helped the sororities build the floats. Delta Delta Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the trophy for the best float which rep- resented a pair of dice. No trophy was given for the best school float this year because not enough schools entered. Queen Kay of Rapid City, S. D., was crowned during the half time. One of the floats, decorated by Kappa Kappa Gamma and Phi Sigma Kappa labovel depicts the honored classes. Riders are: queen candidate, Barbara Pence, l952, Ellie Anderson, i927 lunidentifiedl and l902, Barbara Berg.

RUSH ENLIVENED Orientation week even more. Fraternities pledged l34 men with the Phi Delts taking the lead with 34 men and Sigma Nu was second with 26 men. Sororities claimed l26 women in their first rush with Alpha Phi taking 36 and Delta Gamma pledging 26. The freshmen seemed a little uncooperative at first when the painting of the M was left unfinished. With another try and some more lime, however, they finally persuaded the upper- classmen to pronounce the job satisfactory. Temporary class officers were elected. Jim Abbott became president, Bobette Reader vice president, and Nancy Schilling, secretary-treasur- er. Later Abbott became Central board delegate. In their primary elections, 9l more freshmen voted this year than last. For the first time freshmen were requested to fill out activity interest cards to determine in which clubs and organizations they might be most happy. Some of the more energetic fresh- men started yet another activity group--the Grizzly Growlers. Headed by Armand Pepe, the Pep Club worked closely with Traditions board. During Orientation week, frosh men were required to tnke physical examinations lbelowl for the ROTC program. A ' A5155 W
