One prize-winning Homecoming float, sponsored by the Biology Club. Our Supersonic Charlie Horse was there, too. A group of optimists predicted victory with their 'Mow 'em Down float. Homecoming The first annual Notre Dame Homecoming, dedicated to the class of 1941, our first coed grad- uating class, was held November 8 and 9. It was a gala affair from the queen's election campaign to the Alumni formal. The election of a queen was a hard fought battle between Emily Goodpaster, Norma Hoffmanhlean Koch, Rosene Sibbing, and Joan Spettnagel, in which Norma Hoff- man, Senior Homeroom 103, fi- nally won. The announcement of Norma's winning, broadcast on the Notre Dame radio show, No- vember 6, Was followed by a party at Miss Hoff'man's home, for the other candidates, their campaign afliliates, and the home- coming committee. On Saturday evening, Novem- ber 7, one of Quincy's most color- ful parades marched majestically through downtown Quincy to the Notre Dame athletic field where an immense bonfire was lighted by Mayor George Meyer, jr. Some seventeen floats, two fire engines, and hundreds of students par- ticipated in the parade, which was viewed by thousands of Quincy- ians. For the outstanding float, a

Hillbilly Scene, Senior Homeroom 102, was presented a pennant donated by the Alumni. Sunday morning the Homecom- ing Mass was celebrated in St. Boniface Church. It was followed by breakfast in the cafeteria. At this affair the football squad was introduced to the Alumni by As- sistant Coach james McGuine. That afternoon one of Notre Dame's greatest football teams took the field against a highly favored Spalding eleven, and very soundly trounced them to a 13-0 defeat. It was the greatest upset ever dealt by a Raider team. That night at nine o'clock, the Alumni sponsored a formalndance at which Don Timmerwilke, presi- dent of the class of 1941, crowned Norm, Queen of the Home- coming. This brought down the curtain on Notre Dame's first homecom- ing. It was a tremendous success for the class of 48, and all hope the classes that follow will con- tinue to make the Homecoming at Notre Dame an affair which will make us proud and happy to come back. Homecoming G Bonhre serves as stimulant for school spirit. Queen Norm Hoffman reigns over Homecoming. The Queen and her court, Jean Koch, Emily oodpaster, Rosene Sibbing, and Joan Spcttnagel, preside at game.
