Ver W ifmf V, s R. ,si wx Q' .fist KT ,fps :Q This year St. Ambrose and Marycrest went Up, Up, and Away with Homecoming '68. This year's home- coming unbelievably surpassed last year's program. Under the direction of Ambrosian Jim Ruder and Sue Putnam from Marycrest, the students of both schools truly went up and away for five thrilling days and nights. Homecoming '68 enjoyed the longest parade ever to appear in the Quad-Cities. A Queen's Tea was a very huge success and the addition of a float-building rally proved fruitful and fun. Another first was the hilarious greased pig contest. The flag football game with rival Augustana resulted in victory for the Bees. And no one will ever forget the Saturday evening concert with The Happenings, Fred Smoot, and Denny Brooks, or the fabulous atmosphere of the Friday night dance at the Col. The peak of homecoming was reached Saturday night at the Danceland party where students were surpised with the attendance of the Concert entertainers. 22 3
