Jt, omecominff 1952 The life and color seen at Homecoming time is rarely equalled. Whether renewing old acquaintances or mak- ing new ones, the days arc packed with excitement sym- bolized by march music, waving flags, gala decorations, tipping hats, handshakes, ribbons, pennants and pins. The weekend celebration began with the fun-packed Variety Show in Carney I fall auditorium Friday even- ing. The first place trophy for organizational skits was awarded to the Tri Sigmas who presented a musical pantomime, “The Hills of Home. Second place honors went to Theta Alpha Phi, and third to Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. Following the coronation of the Homecoming Queen at the show, festivities continued with a pep rally and bonfire on the oval. The parade through the downtown district Saturday morning found over 30,000 spectators assembled to watch the colorful bands, floats, and queen cars pass in endless array. The following prizes were awarded. Queen car: Dames Club, first; Women’s Physical Education Club, second. Floats: Industrial Arts Club, first; Alpha Sigma Alpha, second; Theta Sigma Upsilon, third. The many decorated houses lined the route to Bran- denburg Stadium for the afternoon football game in which the Gorillas won over Washburn 17-7. First place prize money for house decorations was taken by Alpha Sigma Alpha. Second place went to Theta Sigma Up- silon; third, Phi Lambda Chi; and fourth, Phi Sigma Epsilon. The massed bands of the morning and afternoon gave way to the Musicaires, who provided the rhythmic back- ground for the climax of the day, the Homecoming Dance. And still, 1 lomecoming is not yet over, for as the sun surprises the silent Sunday campus, the masses of alums, guests, visiting dignitaries and high school band members have disappeared, and the weary student seeks comfort, relaxation and solace among broken pennants, discarded papers and programs, and shattered ‘mums’ and eagerly awaits a return to normal.
