THE 1951 HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES included the tra- ditional parade through the city and the pep rally staged around the bonfire on campus early Friday night. The pep rally was followed by a Donut Dance given in the rotunda of the Administration Building. This dance, an added event to the usual activities, was sponsored by Mortar Board and Omicron Delta Kappa and provided free music and refresh- ments. Early Saturday morning, all fraternity and sorority houses were decorated in honor of Homecoming. The big game was enjoyed by many during the afternoon and was followed by the 1951 Homecoming Dance at the Madrid on Saturday night.
