HOMECOMING 1959 NOVEMBER 6-7-8 Homecoming 1959 — rainy, muddy, chilly, and lots of busy College Joes and Betty Co-Eds up at dawn patching wet papier mache, mend- ing ripped crepe paper. At the rally Friday night, Pete Maverick Berry introduced the campus to Maureen Henry, Carolyn Vickery, and Linda Worcester, Home- coming Queen candidates. At the All Maine Woman-Skull Dance following the rally Presi- dent Elliott crowned Maureen the Queen. North Estabrooke took the girls dorm honors with Bowdoin's Explodin' while The Shot Hurt 'Round the World won Oak Hall and Han- nibal Hamlin first place. Phi Kappa Sigma topped the fraternities with Butcher Bowdoin and Hello Skulls. Later that afternoon the Black Bears did butcher Bowdoin, winning the game 18 to 8. After the game the alums scattered to familiar places to dry off, warm up, and renew old friendships. It was a memorable Homecoming 1959. Even the rains couldn't keep the Homecoming bonfire down as alums ond students yelled to the commands of the cheerleaders. Pushing right through the mud and Bowdoin line, the Black Bears showed the alums just how fierce they really were.

FARMERS' FAIR 1959 NOVEMBER 14 Everybody over in this corner for the cow- milking contest. This was a familiar cry November 14, when students, faculty members, and visitors milled around the fieldhouse at the annual Farmers' Fair. Other events such as pie-eating, greased-pole climbing, buck-sawing, and barrel-rolling made the event a gay, hilarious success. The fair had a serious side, too. From all over the state FFA chapters and 4-H clubs came to compete in sheep, poultry, and cattle judging. Booths were set up and exhibits were on display showing the progress in agriculture. The Calico Ball climaxed the day with the music of Dale Whitney's Band. Jo Ann Pratt was crowned Calico Queen over five other contestants. June Tou- louse, Lee Reed, Penny Hendershot, Bobs Connor, and Nancy Bishop were in her court of honor. Jo Pratt was the farmers' choice of the six coed maids.
