Homecoming Is Success As Cats Beat Vandy
Winning the game against Vandy was the crowning point of Homecoming this year. A week of frantic activity which included trying to finish the decorations on time and getting ready for the game preceded the exciting day. At the Thursday night pep rally, the five finalists for queen were announced, and Coach Bradshaw spoke to the students. Saturday morning the alumni registered at the Helen King Alumni House. Later that morning the house decorations were judged. The theme for this year was the use of a famous- saying. The house decorations showed the many hours of work that went into their completion. This year there were three awards given for three different divisions: sororities, fraternities and dormitories. Chi Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, Patterson Hall and Boyd Hall together won the first places in their respective divisions.
At the half-time ceremonies, Amonda Mansfield, representing Delta Tau Delta, was crowned Homecoming Queen. Peewee Reese was given the outstanding citizenship award. The ROTC Corps re-enacted the stirring event of the flag raising at Iwo Jima in honor of the men who died during this courageous act.
After the game, a reception was held honoring President and Mrs. Oswald to which the alumni, faculty and students were invited. That night the annual alumni dance was held at the Phoenix Hotel Ballroom.
The  "Yell-Like-Hell"   Contest  at  the Homecoming pep rally always incites overwhelming enthusiasm.
Preparing and stuffing Homecoming displays must be a cooperative effort.
