We ' ' gfomec ' 79457 Slide. . . No other campus event retains so much alumni interest and student interest or re- quires so much preparation as Ripon's annual Homecoming. The campus overflows with excitement as the R-Club enlists the students in making ready for the Homecoming week- end. Freshmen gather wood for the huge bonhre and guard it and the campus against our rivals: they decorate the gym for the dance, and make torches for the parade in which they will march in their pajamas. The sophomores find a pole and plenty of grease for their fight with the frosh, and all upper- classmen decorate their houses and construct a float for the parade. A queen and court are chosen to reign over the celebration, houses prepare for alumni banquets, and the team practices and practices, constantly striving for perfection in every play. The finishing touches are put on everything and Homecoming explodes . . . 17
