Rolling In The Good Times Let the Good Times Roll was the theme and roll they did starting Thursday evening with the pep rally, bonfire (with an officially unapproved fire) and an Anything Goes contest. Friday afternoon groundbreaking ceremonies for the new physical education complex were held. That night Suede deBronkart hosted Kastle Kapers, featuring such talented (?) groups as the SEA officers and a barbershop quartet of faculty members. Between the 7 and 9 p.m. shows the 1977 Homecoming Queen, Trudy Haines, was crowned. Led by Grand Marshal Dr. Elmer Hertel, the Homecoming parade moved west on Bremer Avenue on Saturday with ten bands, a drum and bugle corps and a variety of floats. Thirty-two booths featuring everything from kisses to fencing exhibitions filled the mall between the Union and Gym. The football score of 23-0 happily ended (at least for Wartburg) the story of a team of Knights out to scalp some Redmen from Simpson College Saturday afternoon. Evening activities included Oktoberfest at the fair- grounds and the formal Homecoming dance at the Red Fox Inn. The Castle Singers, Choir and Band provided a Sunday afternoon concert to close the weekend. Alumni returned, classes held reunions and old times were hashed over. Students partied, a queen was crowned and a football game was won. For at least one 1977 fall weekend, the good times rolled.
