Parade, Game, Barbecue — Homecoming! THIS KA has reason to sit prouJly on his horse. The Kappa Alpha house won first in house decorations again this year, while the Theta Chis won second. No matter how far or high the Eagle soars, he someday must return to his nest — if only for a brief glimpse of the new eaglets that have been hatched ! Eagles who flew back to Denton for the I960 Homecoming found an exuberant NT campus bursting out of its shell and kicking in all direc- tions. Some oldtimers could scarcely recognize the terrain: steel and concrete seemed to spring forth from every available inch of earth, and stately new buildings now covered green-lined footpaths where ed and coed, hand in hand, once strolled. But the Homecoming Eagle had more to do than stare in amazement at the campus ' physical prosperity. Departments and organizations held their rounds of coffees where old teachers met old students and old students met classmates. There were two bon- fires: the planned one for Friday night and the impromptu one which was set off prematurely Thursday night by some unknown culprit. House decorations brightened up the fraternit) ' houses and dorms around the campus; beautiful floats and prancing horses were featured in the parade before the football game, which the Eagles won in a close and exciting contest; early and recent exes enjoyed their barbecue, beans, and big orange drinks at the annual barbecue after the game; a long stage show that night topped off a perfect day, for which even the weather co-operated. AH in all, exes were received in grand style and many agreed that the I960 Homecoming was the most exciting and satisfying one in years. THIS colorful Kappa Delta float featuring Eunice Robinson was only one of the 22 floats entered in the giant annual parade. Sigma Nu captured the prize for the most beautiful float with its huge green eagle constructed of crepe paper. ROSAI.EE Price smiles at onlookers from the top of the Theta Chi float. Chi Ome- ga ' s giant NTSC class ring won the award for originality, and Bruce Hall ' s replica of the Administration Building won the sweep- stakes prize (not shown). 13
