Working hard at stuffing napkins in making the Mad1 Hatter on the Delta Pi Beta Homecoming float are Pat lan+er, Carol Saulsbury, while Sharon Copple puts finishing touches on Felix, ♦he cat. Their efforts proved successful after the judging of the floats, A break from tradition in Homecoming procedures started the 1959 Homecoming events on Friday night this year with the crowning of the 1959 Homecoming Queen, Miss Barbara Goble. Entertainment for the coronation program featured the popular national sing- ing group, the Hilltoppers. Attendants for the Home- coming Queen were Lyndell Schulte, Nancy Myers, Ellen Raymond, and Pat Golus. Festivities on Saturday started with probably one of the most spectacular parades in Homecoming history at N.S.C. Disneyland was the theme for this year's Homecoming parade and campus displays. Ten floats were entered in the hour long parade down Central Avenue along with the various bands and royalty of Homecoming. The Delta PI Beta Sorority swept honors in the float competition with their Mad Hatter who was mad for victory. West Hall won over the other colorful campus dis- plays to take the display plaque away from last year's winner, Martin Hall. Other displays were entered by Martin Hall, North Hall, and Case Hall. After a successful win over the Doane Tigers and the alumni banquets the day of activities was topped off with the Annual Homecoming Dance at Memorial Stu- dent Union featuring Jimmy James and his Orchestra. The HilFtoppors, nationally known singing group, appeared at the Home- coming activities on the N.S.C. campus Friday night. Highlighting the evening activity was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. This broke the old tradition of crowning the Queen during the football half-time performance. Pouring at Alumni Tea is Mrs. Sena Lang, housemother of Men's Hall. Put- ting sugar in coffee is C. S. Morrow. Looking over Mrs. Lang's shoulder U Mrs. Frances Hauver. Others in picture are former N.S.C, students.
