Frozen Funnies parade instead of being underneath it, said Cindy Croson, Kalley Fiilccan. Winning parade awards also made participation in the parade more worthwhile for some groups. In the Greek women ' s division, Alpha Sigma Alpha and Sigma Sigma Sigma took first and second places, respectively, and Delta Zeta and Phi Mu tied for third. The Tau Kappa Epsilon float, based on Peanuts, took first place in the Greek men ' s division, followed by Phi Sigma Epsilon in second and Sigma Tau Gamma in third. In the independent category for floats, the Sigma Society, the In- dustrial Arts Club and Hudson Hall placed first, second and third, respectively. Parade supremacy went to Phi Sigma Epsilon in the Greek men ' s division. Alpha Sigma Alpha in the Greek women ' s division and Hud- son Hall in the independent category. Unfortunately the football team ' s efforts were not as well rewarded, as the Bearcats fell to the Northeast Missouri State Bulldogs 0-52, and failed to retrieve the coveted hickory stick. The Bulldogs took advantage of a weak ' Cat defense, scoring touchdown after touchdown while frustrated NWMSU fans screamed in the stands. The pre-game show and halftime provided highlights in the game, however, as 35 area high schools were hosted by the Marching Bear- cats during the pre-game and alumni Jim Litsch was featured on the trumpet during halftime. It was really neat to see all those people out on the field during the pre-game show, said Carol Knight. I was really proud of my school even though we lost the game. After the game ended, Gary Hogue, a senior tight-end and punter, was awarded the Don Black Memorial Trophy for the outstan- ding performance in the Home- coming game. Saturday night, after the game, about 1,000 students danced to the band Secrets and waited for awards to be presented in Lamkin Gym, and the annual alumni dance was held in the National Guard Ar- mory. As Homecoming came to a close, some students were dismayed by the cold weather and the football defeat, but others remembered the fun and preparation that had gone into Campus Comics.
