196 Homecoming Marked B Gorgeo Long before the last lovely couple flittered across the dance floor at Garvey Commons, the unanimous verdict had been decreed: Homecoming at St. Cloud State was never better than it was in 1965. So big and so beautiful was this year's classic fall event that hardly anyone complained when a 14-3 defeat was pinned on our youthful football gridders. By its own very fickle nature, Homecoming is a help- less victim in the hands of Mother Nature. But for four glorious, sun-drenched October days, it was almost as if Apollo himself had come to St. Cloud. When the gorgeous float carrying queen Allie Rada- macher rolled past the American National Bank during Saturday morning's parade, a sweet pair of 7's twin- kled across the bank's temperature board. Minnesotans had not basked under such pleasant skies all summer long. An indication of the elegance which marked this year's Homecoming Parade was the enthusiasm shown by St. Cloud's ever-blase townsfolk. At 11 o'clock on the morning of this gala march, there was neither nook nor cranny to be found on beaming St. Germain Street. And not all the onlookers were college students. One crusty old spectator, who was waiting patiently for Rip Repul- ski to open his main street tavern, insisted that this town ain't seen such fuss in 30 years, at least. Among the celebrities who took part in this year's parade were jean Ruth, Miss Minnesotag Linda Klein- ert, Queen of the Lakes, Dr. George Selke, alumni award winner, Barbara Anderson, Miss St. Cloudg and Bonnie Ailie, 1964 SCS Homecoming Queen. The Grand Marshall for the event was noted State alumnus, M. jay Blaha. Qvueen Allie, sponsored by an enthusiastic following from Lawrence and Holes Halls, eased out eight other delectable candidates in this year's queen contest. Upon being crowned campus queen of 1965, the popular 20-year-oldjunior from jordan, Minnesota, stammered, This is the happiest moment of my life. Following Allie's Coronation, several thousand SCS students were treated to some of the happiest moments of their musical lives. The renowned George Shearing delighted his audience in Halenbeck Hall with a superb two-hour piano concert, featuring such classics as 'LAu- tumn Leaves and The Days ofWine and Roses . The first official 1965 Homecoming event, which kicked off on Tuesday evening, was the annual student amateur Talent Show. Those who showed up for the performance applauded with gusto the sterling ability of their classmates. Only the bawdy jokes told by a pair of imprudent emcees failed to impress the huge audience. On Saturday, sandwiched between the parade and the football game, three St. Cloud residents were honored in august dedication ceremonies. Miss Marie Case, Dr. Philip Hallenbeck and W. W. Holes were presented symbolic keys to the buildings which bear their names. Main speaker at the dedication ceremony was former SCS president, Dr. George F. Budd. Budd, who held the reins here from 1952-65, came back from Pittsburgh, Kansas, to witness the official opening of the two dor- 8 mitories and physical education complex which were conceived during his regime. Homecoming 1965 came waltzing to a slow and sweet end with the dance on Saturday evening. Music for this sell-out affair was provided by the Stoop Chamberlin Band.
