First Place Float in the 1958 Homecoming Parade. The Omega Delta Pi fraternity walked off with first place with their Elevating Rocket and panel board. NSC HOME' Hopeful Waiting, Candidates for the 1958 Homecoming Queen were Judy Anderson, Marlys Ecklund, Alycc Sanderman, Janice Stone, and Donna Bradshaw. MThe best Homecoming I have ever attended. This remark was heard many times during the day of October 4, 1958. The Homecoming activities cli- maxed many hours of careful prep- arations for this one day. The day started with a parade up Central Avenue to the college. The parade centered around the colorful floats of the fraternities and sororities, accompanied by the bands of the surrounding high schools. The theme of the 1958 Homecoming was the space age. Following the parade, most of the alumni and students attended the many luncheons and brunches provided by their old organiza- tions. Down With Wayne, was the battle cry preceding the Homecom- ing game. The battle which fol- lowed was filled with excitement to the halftime when the Home- coming Queen was crowned by President Cushing.
