HIS MASTER ' S VOICE. Mascot Scott Johnson answers back to the call of the wild via short, short wave . . . burrrp; . . . belch . . . barrrrf . . . hie . . . oooofff . . . Scott has quite an extensive vocabulary. A TYPICAL RALLY crowd is in hysterics over the comical antics presented by a jovial pep committee. It is easy to see where students get their tremendous enthusiasm and spirit. Rallies- Assemblies- Pep . . . Rah! PRETTY GIRLS kicking rhythmically to a rousing fight song . . . hoarse cheerleaders trying to coax the last ounce of spirit from sometimes uninspired students . . . costumed mascots performing antics to amuse the often uninterested. These are rallies . . . assemblies . . . one act skits . . . anything, anything to inspire support for a deserving team ... If it is true that the leaders of spirit and cheer contribute heavily to the success of a team, it must be noted that a marked improvement was made between football and basketball seasons. NO CAPTION. (We can ' t think of a thing.) n

Beauty Reigns EXCITEMENT IS THE WORD for Homecoming, especially, when it comes to the election of a queen. It all starts when campus organizations begin considering who should be their candidate. Feminine loveliness, winsome personality, popu- larity with both men and women students— and a large group which will work to get out the vote- are essential attributes for a candidate. As elec- tion day approaches, word of mouth publicity is supplemented by posters witty, elaborate, or downright blatant. The vote is taken, but tension merely mounts. With the result of the polling known only to the off-campus judges (usually alumni with some position in the community and a proven eye for pulchritude), Kiowa-Z hosts all candidates and past queens at a banquet. At this time, the judges observe the three highest vote- getters and select the one best fitted to reign as Homecoming Queen. Their decision, too, is kept a closely guarded secret which is revealed only at the coronation exercises staged during half- time at the football game. This year the judges ' (and the people ' s choice) was Joy Defenbaugh. She and her princesses, Karin Francis and Sue Reynolds, the other two finalists, reigned over the second half of the game and over the traditional Homecoming dance on the following evening. Joy Defenbaugh HER ROYAL HIGHNESS, Joy Defenbaugh, ruled over Homecoming— and a lot more besides. She might well have been named the song leader with the most verve. Women students thought enough of her last spring to elect her their AWS president. Others recognized her talents, and she became Miss Riverside of 1965. ' Tis no wonder that Kappa Upsilon fraternity staked their reputation as astute campus politicos to choose her as their Queen candidate — and the rest is history. Karin Frances Sue Reynolds 13
