JUST , om: Bic t fit if za .lit Jog. omecoming ETURNING alumni were greeted by sunny weather and familiar scenes on October lOth. Fraternities, dormitories, and sororities extended open arms to all the old grads and sported colorful welcom- ing signs and Beat Maine slogans. Sigma Beta, Sawyer, Chi Omega, and Gibbs Hall were recipients for cups for their imaginative house decorations. A busy day began with registration and the President's Reception in the morning. At noon, buffet lunches were served at many of the fraternities and sororities and the fourth annual chicken barbecue was held at Putnam Hall. Of course, the main attraction was the traditional football game between the Maine Bears and our N. H. Wildcats. During the half, the newly elected mayor of Durham, Digger O'Dell, the Morbid Mortician, made his first public appear- ance. Loyal rooters of U. N.

In Born Tomorrow, the Alpha Xi Deltas proiected the campus into a i984 world of flying saucers and robots to astonish the return- ing grads of '54. A flesh and blood calf sym- bolized the unchanging spirit of U. N. H. Alpha Xi Delta and Acacia received first prize and Alpha Chi Omega and Sigma Beta second prize. Yi .wi E 'QMS' 5 5' Q .-

xx if-7 unior rom PRING means rain in Durham. It also means Prom time. We had both on the week-end of May 8th when our theme was Out of This World and NH Hall became a sur- realistic, mobile-bedecked scene of festivities from 9 to 2:30. For the first time, two bands were featured, and the music of Fred Sa- terials and Ted Herbert with vocals by Cindy Lord kept a continuous rhythmic beat for a record crowd of swirling couples. Focal point of the evening was announced by a ruftie of drums, when Karen Schriever was crowned Queen with Judy Reed, Nancy Hill, Joan DeCourcey, and Marilyn Need- ham as her court. A iazz concert on Bonfire Hill, beach parties, Notch dance, and fra- ternity parties kept us Out of This World until we returned to earth with a thud on Monday. . xy .
