Transcript | HOMECOMING '62 Preparation for Homecoming started many weeks before the exciting week arrived. Organizations spent every available minute working on crepe paper flowers and obtaining the necessary tools and equipment for floats. Alpha Phi Omega not only worked on the bonfire, but also sponsored the King Ugly contest. Homecoming Queen nominees were judged to narrow selection down to five. Sponsoring organizations of the five girls campaigned for their candidates, trading votes and urging other organizations to back their candidate. Waiting and working finally ended, as Homecoming Week arrived. Alex Rameriz, Judy Pregeant and Mitch Martin place their vote in the King Ugly contest. "Hey, hurry up. We've only got four hours before the parade starts," says Newman Club's Jim Murillo. Always the hardest part of float building is making flowers, as DG's Pat Baer and Carol Dobbs and Phi Kap's Sid McNiece will agree. Faculty and staff get together after the bonfire for a reception honoring those faculty who have been here for 25 years. |
