If t 'fi .. f 'liking' li . f 4' 'Homecoming Fever' sustains floatmakersg wild exuberance capped y rousing victory If I ever get this papier mache out of my hair and all this paint off my hands, it'll be a minor miracle , laughed a bleary-eyed Paulite who had managed to sur- vive a final seige of float construction. Homecoming 1968 became St. Paul's unintentional premier of semi- permanent body paint Cin class colorsl and battle scars from chicken wire with a mind of its own. It was a tough decision, but the 1968 Homecoming Queen is . . . Diane Hoernschemeyern. Realization . . . ecstasy . . . and tears: an Evening in Paris couldn't have been more sublime fora queen and her Court, Homecoming Feverv, which sustained grubby float- makers through traumatic last-minute changes, and one queen and her court through a, wet and wild weekend reign, exploded at Sunday's football game. The Fabu- lous Fourteen's,' rousing victory capped all the incred- ible exuberance of Homecoming. Ya know, that freshman float shows a lot of imagi- nation . . . but still, those sophomores really know how to use animation . . . did you ever see anything as realis- tic as the junior's Raggedy Ann doll? . . . and the seniors', well, what can you say? That car has so much class! Looking in retrospect over those fast and furious days, Paulites agree: we never had it so great .
