With a brisk northerly wind and a menagerie of rainclouds, Homecoming 78 rambled into Ripon. Titled A Reminiscent Ramble , the Homecom- ing weekend added up to be a time of celebration, relaxation and exhaus- tion for many students, alumni, faculty, and citi- zens. Stifled by the incli- mate weather, many tra- ditional activities, such as the Pajama Parade and the bonfire had to be can- celled as was the planned Friday night parade. But Mother Nature found it in her heart to relieve us of this thorn and the Satur- day morning parade and COLD AND RAIN PLACE SECOND BEHIND THE HOMECOMING FANFARE the afternoon game went on as scheduled. Beverly Spittel reigned as Home- coming Queen with Jean nie Spychalla, Gail Good- rich, Carol Fox, and Beth Sycamore reigning be- side her as the court. The float competition was won by Beta Sigma Pi while the window paint- ing contest was captured by Theta Sigma Tau. The crowd then migrated to Ingalls Field where they witnessed a Redmen as- sault and victory over the defenseless Coe Co- hawks.
