As a result, Homecoming festivities were unusually successful with the Dr. Wasson award, Thunder- bird legend, class competition, queen presentation, aerial bombs, and carnival. The rickshaws built by Cabinet added to the atmosphere of Fan Fair? Presentation of the Thunderbird in Oriental fashion was followed by the legend of the Thunderbird. In addition to these activities, unique ideas were car- ried through in the committees under Cabinet heads. To keep Wasson's morale boosted, the Hootin' Pepananny was held in the patio, new pins and pennants were sold, and Mr. Preston declared war on Centennial.
