Star Avenue The theme for this year’s Homecoming pa¬ rade was “They came, they saw, we con¬ quered.” And it was an appropriate theme, too. Austin College came, they saw, and we conquered. The Lobos squeeked by with a 12-9 victory over the Kangaroos. All in all, the day went well. The parade ran smoothly, a new Homecoming Queen was crowned, the game was won, and the dance was a success. A fitting end to the day was the lighting of the Bar-SR-Bar, which glowed throughout the night. — Dicky Bain HOMECOMING ’84 - The Clip-N-Brand float (1) was appropriate for this part of the country. “Who ya gonna call? Roo Busters!” The Newman Club (2) took second place with their float. The BSU (3), last year’s winner, added color to the parade. The Art Club’s Chariot (4) captured third place. BIRD’S EYE VIEW — Many lined the sides of East Holland to witness the annual Sul Ross Homecoming Parade. 13

-O - -U - -IT- Chuting Stars A lot of time, preparation, and devotion both phys¬ ically and mentally must be given to the sport of rodeo. It’s not just a matter of who can ride the toughest bull, or rope the fastest calf, but who has the drive behind great amounts of athletic ability, horsemanship, and great timing. Rough stock riders must have great rhthmic ability, quick thinking, and great respect for the opposing animal, while timed events require not only quick thinking but also a great amount of cooperation and timing between horse and rider and a tremendous amount of personal ability. Before the competitor is observed you may well know the great amounts of time and devotion have been spent to improve rodeo skills. —Jayne Gentry DON’T LOOK DOWN NOW — An upstairs view is captured as the gate opens and the cowboy tries to mark his horse out of the chute with his feet at the point of the horse’s shoulder. 14
