WLZCOWUI49 . . . Homecoming this year had everything! Even rain that almost spoiled the greatest Homecoming in the history of the school. But never-the-less students, faculty and old grads made the best of it and had a real celebration moving many of the activities, which had been planned for outdoors, into buildings. A great deal of tribute is due the committees which worked many long hours in planning the two-day program. Friday night's activities got off to a big start when students held a street dance between Fifth and Sixth Streets downtown. Many townspeople came down to see the big event. The College band made a wonderful contribution to this affair as well as many students who entertained the more than 1,000 people who gathered. Saturday's events included the second annual Feast of the Oval which moved indoors out of the rain following one of the finest parades the city has seen in years down Broadway during the morning hours. Another rain storm had cut the parade short, but the spirit was high. During the afternoon fans sat through the Homecoming Day game in the rain. Many of the main attractions which were scheduled for the afternoon entertainment had to be scratched After the game, sorority and fraternity houses held open house for former members who dropped in for a visit. A fitting climax for the Col1ege's greatest scheduled Homecoming was at the dance in the gym when Miss Mary Beth Tanner was crowned official Homecoming queen for 1948-49. Page 18
