Born to be Wildcats was this year ' s popu- lar phrase heard all throughout the week of Homecoming. As always, alumni visited, student built floats and the UA football team fought a great battle. However, this year we managed to win! Not only did we beat out Homecoming rivals that night, but we also succeeded in knocking the undefeated Wash- ington Huskies out of first place and put ourselves in Rose Bowl contingency. The great defeat only added to the fun of the traditional Homecoming week which included the annual parade, the bonfire, pre-parties, post-parties and countless BBQ ' S held in honor of alumni. Reunions were held and many of the football players from years like ' 56 were in attendance which made it hard for the students to believe that someday, they too may be returning as an honored alumni. At the game the royalty were announced. This year ' s King was Kevin Flannigan and the nominated Queen was Ann Meerdink. The parade was held Saturday afternoon and featured returning band members, pom pon girls of years past and a look at the floats built by current students. As usual, the Manzanita-Mohave dormitory float won for the twelfth year in a row. I thought there were some really neat floats this year but my favorite was the baby ' s crib of paper flowers that had a bunch of fraternity guy ' s dressed in diapers jump- ing around, commented one student watch- ing the parade, many of the floats did take- offs on the Born to be Wildcats theme. After the long week of hard work, stu- dents were pleased with the outcome of the game and the other events and exhausted from all the fun. -story by Katie Briggs photos by Sarah Tally, Stephanie Sierakoski and Shelle Jackson horn e CO nrdn 9 m
