HOMECOMING We had parties, we had week ends, but one of the biggest was hlomecoming. Following in the tradition of the past, the festivities were officially opened by a colorful parade repre- senting wasted hours of paper-stuffing and nail-pounding. Saturday morning found everyone busily preparing for the coming round of cheers, receptions, and parties. The after- noon was filled with footballs, mums, and exuberant hand- shakes of renewing old acquaintances. After thirty minutes of hard-fought football, the queen, well protected by ROTC men armed with sabers, was presented to the crowd. An unfortunate second half of football followed this grand cere- mony and all were content to forget about football and direct their attention toward those familiar faces whose names they couldn ' t remember and to make the rounds of the open houses. After a thoroughly exhausting afternoon of shaking hands and how are you, I haven ' t seen you in a long time, everyone settled down to a quiet evening of socializing. There were a few brave souls who still desired more action, and they boldly trudged down to the Mountainlair where an exciting dance was held. The activity of the night gradually lent itself to the well-deserved rest, with all thankful for an additional day of reprieve before the recommencing of classes.

The end of the period of parties, dinners, big smiles and firm hand- shakes, and the where ' re you from, what ' s your major? routine, brought sighs of relief from all the Greeks and shouts of joy from all the pledges, but moments of sadness to the rejected ones.
