V Beautiful Time ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS of Homecoming fes- tivities is the selection of the Queen and her Prin- cesses. Much careful planning by sponsoring organizations goes into the selection of candidates, support is solicited and alliances forged with the finesse of a master politician, and campaigns are mounted with ingenuity and enthusiasm. Lovely Ladies FEMININE PULCHRITUDE is an absolutely essential ingredient for any successful Homecoming pro- gram. This year the football game itself may have left something to be desired, but no one could fault the women for their contribution to the over- all success of the affair. The candidates themselves were as glamorous a slate as has ever been pre- sented, and male observers didn ' t know whether to envy the judges for their opportunity to ogle the beauties or to sympathize with them for the difficulty they obviously would have in selecting three winners among them. And when other coeds got themselves bedecked for the dance, beauty really reigned! BOY MEETS GIRL — Enjoying the Homecoming dance are Mr. and Mrs. John Motfe and alumnus Tom Janis and Kathy Schell. BEAUTY PARADE - Posing in the Plaza are Andrea Bal- ogh (last year ' s Queen) and Candidates Lolita Williams (AMS), Jeanne Walker (Sigma Rho Chi), Cheryl Brown (Orchesis), Judy Smitheram (Kiowa-Z), Joyce Kjewcomb (Sigma Phi Kappa), Pam Flynn (Freshman Class), Joy Defenbaugh (Kappa Upsilon), Kathy Cowling (WAA and Lambda Alpha Epsilon), Sue Reynolds (Eta Pi and Cosmos), Karin Francis (GIA and Alpha Gamma Sigma), and Ann Griffith (Sophomore Class). 15

I Everyone Had A LONG WEEK-END filled with activity, Homecoming for most people begins on Friday with the rally in the Pit, continues with the parade through the business section, reaches one climax with the foot- ball game and the crowning of the Queen at halftime, and achieves another high point at Saturday ' s Homecoming Dance. For more active participants, however. Homecoming begins long before, when organizations first start planning their floats, or even when Cabinet begins hag- gling over a suitable theme. Fantasy in Floats INCALCULABLE HOURS are spent in con- structing the floats that parade down the streets of Riverside and around the track at Wheelock Field. Secrecy surrounds their motifs, for it is commonly believed that much of a float ' s success depends upon the ingenuity with which it carries out the Homecoming theme. ETA PI WON FIRST place with its arrogant command. Unfortunately, the Dons didn ' t get the word and humbled the Tigers instead. SECOND PLACE went to Kappa Upsilon and Gamma Nu, who showed a Tigerish matador besting a bullish Santa Ana Don. SIGMA RHO CHI and Delta Chi Delta had a Tiger about to blast a cowering Don with RCC ' s great explosive power. I
