Vikings defeated at Wildcat Homecoming Coronation marked the start of homecoming festivities and the big game on Saturday was on everyone's mind. You couldn't go to school here and not be aware that this week was different. It didn't matter whether you were planning to attend the game, the dance or just find yourself a party, something was alive inside you. Although Saturday morning brought cold, slushy weather, the parade, led by the Wildcat marching band, started on schedule. Kick-off time proved that it takes more than the weather to keep Wildcat fans at home. At 1:30 Saturday afternoon the stands were full, and the Wildcats were cheered to a 24-7 victory over the Valley City Vikings. The end of the game brought mixed emotions ... we had won. but now it was all over and tensions cased. Spirits ran high that night, however, as Homecoming Weekend was topped off by an “Old-Timer' and a young at heart dance.

An integral part of college life revolves around social functions, from house parlies to Christmas caroling. Not the least of these arc dances, held by the multitude and commonly packed to the hilt. 1970-71 at Science School saw no change in this as crowds of students converged to hear, dance and swing to the sounds of the Uglics. Truck. Mana, I£rgot, the Cornerstones, the Pilgrims and scores of others ... some good, some not-so-good. At any rate midweek dances whether scmiformal or casual seemed to hit the spot as far as hundreds of weekend commuters were concerned.
