The Parade which precedes the Homecoming game is a lively and colorful affair. Heralded by the band, each float is proudly exhibited by its creators. Homecoming The foremost event of the year is Homecoming when an abundance of time, money, and energy is expended by members of various organizations in an attempt to create the most picturesque and effective float. Even though a trophy may not be won, all effort is well compensated by the merri- ment of the occasion. Sigma Kappa places first with “We'll Surprise Em.” Pi Beta Phi, second, promises to “Suds Em Under.”
