Amidst an atmosphere of falling leaves and the beautiful Indian summer of fall lies the fervor and spirit of Homecoming. Highlighting the week, of course, was the football game. With a record crowd watching, the Titans defeated Platteville 12-6 in a game long to be remembered at O.S.C. A special half-time program presented the 1960 Homecoming Queen Joan “Nicky” Niquette with her attendants Sue Schaefer and Marcy Rothenbach. Present as special guests were the queens of past homecomings. The winning float in the parade was presented by Gamma Delta — “Looks Like We’ll Dunk Em — Don’ut.” homecoming 22 .

 he Qaimakeii In October, the Speech Department staged “The Rainmaker,” a comedy-drama by N. Richard Nash. Miss Gloria Link directed the production. Wilbur Denson, Sue Schaefer, Bill Krueger, Rick McIntyre, Dick Hamburg, Bob McCoy, and Louis Marohn made up the cast. The play revolves around a single girl and her father’s and brother’s efforts to “marry her off.” The audience enjoyed the stirring drama and delightful comedy from the time the curtain rose until it fell. It was another wonderful indication of the progress the Speech Department has made in the past year.

1960 A lot of planning, campaigning, and work went into the weeks before Homecoming itself. Under the direction of Helene Bartz and Ken Bingen, the rallies, bonfire and the big dance went as planned. At the Queen’s Rally, the football team members and their coaches were given special recognition for the vital part they were to play in the Homecoming weekend. Queen Nicky, in her Royal Proclamation, designated the welcome of the alumni and honor to the football team, as the two most important events in the weekend. Winner of the house decorations was Pollock House with the slogan — “We’ll Batter Up Plattcville.” 23
