October Meant Homecoming Time y a a) a] Homecoming was the big attraction dur- ing October. Color, excitement, pageantry, crowds, entertainment—and hard work— the students shared in it all. The drama Elizabeth Cole was in the title role, and Alice French department opened its schedule with “The was a principal player in “The Heiress.” Heiress.” and the annual faculty-student reception highlig hted a number of social occasions. Right: The big arch at the main entrance to Women’s Residence Hall was used to ad- vantage as the girls created this prize-win- ning display for Homecoming. j . my The 1961 Miss Cinderella, Nancy Ellis, puts the glass slipper on the foot of her successor, Vicki Fry, in a dramatic moment of the Cinderella Coronation at Homecoming.

eC Oe . a 4 a —— al: , a ce mt The girls stole part of the football players’ thunder by organizing a “powder puff” version of the game between freshman and upperclass women. Sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association, the contest resulted in a 6-0 triumph for the freshmen. The captain of the winning team, Carol Hutcheson, breaks through here in a bid to tag ball-carrier Lorene Gardner. Others identifiable are Marjorie Feely, Corky Jewell, Marilyn Freeman, and Kay StahIman. In the rock-’em, sock-’em type of play typical of collegiate football, Ranger fullback Dallas Barnett (42) proved to be a hard man to stop for the Northeastern State College Redmen, as the Northwestern team turned in an early season win, 19-6. |

November Saw Progress November, in addition to Thanksgiving holidays, pro- duced mid-term grades—with some tests preceding. Edu- cation students were at work in a newly begun teacher aide program and took time out to note American Educa- tion Week. Northwestern won approval for a National Science Foundation summer institute in mathematics. On the sports side, football bowed out. and basketball made a beginning. Gerry Hendrick, one of the participants in a new teacher aide program, distributes workbooks to sixth grade pupils in Alva’s Washington Elementary School. He’s handing a book to Madolyne Lawson here. Northwestern students just beginning the teacher education program worked on a voluntary basis two hours a week with co-operating teachers in the Alva schools.
