HOMECOMING Victory-a Homecoming dream come true on the home gridiron November 2, 1946. Preparations went on for weeks in advance under the supervi- sion of Bill Riggs, Homecoming Chairman. ln preparation for the exciting game, the tradi- tional pep rally was held Friday night. Cardinal fans grouped around the big bonfire While Baker's dummy smouldered i,n its bright flame and cheers went up for the big red team. The clever and beautiful floats in the parade that Saturday morning far excelled anything that a former Homecoming had displayed. Students, alumni, and friends of the college gathered in front of the court house for a pep rally to send the team off to the thrilling victory. Those who returned to visit their alma mater were royally entertained Saturday night with a Homecoming party held in the Grade School Gym. 25
