CROWNING THE QUEEN . . . as she was crowned Homecoming Q Clark, president of the Alumni As head. Homecomi Little Thrr By Kay Feature A look back through the X Homecomings will reveal that I same, give or take a few para thing that really changes is ti How do you look back? Well, it doesn't take a reversible crystal ball, or even a magic wand, it just takes about two hours on the floor of the Gamecock office where bound copies of old Gamecocks can be found. But since you don't have time to do that, just follow us down through the next few column inches. 0. K.? Let's go! USC vs. Hurricanes "Alumni Huddle in Hurricane's Path" was the headline on the No vember 15, 1935, paper. Maybe that is perfectly clear to the 1935 reader, but to us it sounds like some poor USC grads got caught down on the coast while Diane or Hazel was blowing her stack. But in reading the story below the ban ner headline, one can find that this particular hurricane is none other thani the Furman University foot b)all squad wvho will be invading USC territory the next day. And did the alumni "huddle"? Well, if they didn't' they should have be cause Furman won the game and also the state championship that year. There are other interesting fea tures ab)out this particular Home coming, too. The student body was released from classes at 11 :30 and marched en masse down Main Street. After that the alumni - joined them on campus for a "dutch treat" barbecue picnic. According to the Gamecock the most colorful feature of the day was the performance of the two b)ands which had approximately 40 members each. After the game a adance was held in the gym. 1941 Homecoming Now let's advance up the cen tury about six years and look in on Homecoming 1941 style. Says the lead in the November 14 Home coming story: "Carolina's '41 Homecoming to morrow will see a predominance of recent grads in Uncle Sam's khaki over traditional old grads and climbing ivy. With an overwhelm ing number of the University alumni in military service, uni Jformed visitors will reflect the - military mood of the day." On the Friday night preceding the game a pep rally was held on Melton Field around a gigantic bonfire. New Library Seen Miss Mary King of Columbia was Homecoming Queen. At 10:30 Saturday morning the alumni were carried on a guided tour of Mc Kissick Memorial Library. This was the first glimpse of the new library for many of the former students. At 11 a. mn. a parade was hold and then the barbecue lunch on campus was heartily consumed by alumni and students. The game that day was dedicated to the former USC students who and alumni appearing in uniform were then in the armed services were made guests at the game. Gwen Tootle, of Florence, is shown ueen in last year's festivities. Lewis ociation, placed the crown on her ig Changes ugh Years Oxner Editor ast twenty years of Carolina ;hey are probably basically the ies or dances. About the only ie student body. too, was Furman, but Carolina pulled an upset and won! Secret Queen There was an air of mystery sur rounding the 1948 Homecoming festivities because the identity of the queen was kept a secret until the half-time activities of the game. She was elected from a candidate from each class. Comes the big day and how is she an nounced? Not by walking grace fUlly on to the field, or by riding luxuriously in a Cadillac convert ible, but she was presented to the spectators in a huge football. The reigning royalty for that day turned out to be Miss Jackie John son of Hartsville. A new song entitled "Gamecock Victory March," written by Al Munn, a junior at the University, and Kenneth Dawson, a city park worker, was sung at the game. A pep) rally was held and the alumni made themselves at home amidi "Welcome, Alumni" displays on campus. The rival school that year was Maryland. See, things haven't changed much! Now to you people who are struggling to crowd four years' work into seven years, or to you third-year seniors, 1960 won't seem so long ago, but it's longer thau you think. So let's fly over the University campus and see what events were staged for the "com ing home" alumni that year. Here again, as in '48, nobody's telling who the chosen queen is. The campus is gaily decorated with cblors and displays erected by fra ternities and sororities. And then after the "Big Red" had been battling it out with the North Carolina Tarheels for two quar ters, the coronation of the queen took place. After her majesty was crowned, various skits were pre sented on the field. That night after the game, Sigma Chi fra ternity sponsored the Homecoming Dance at the Columbia Hotel. So another fun-filled Homecom ing wk end has rolled around, and before long all that will be left will be fond memories and articles in papers and yearbooks, yellow with age. Wesley Group Plans Canvass The Wesley Foundation plans to canvass every Methodist stud'ent to pledge to the support of Wesley, John Cooley, chairman of the can vass, has announced. The Wesley Foundation centers its program at the Methodist Stu dent Center, which has been open for almost two years. The pro gramn includes such activities as the Sunday night forum, speakers and dliscussions, chorus, deputations, retreats, and openf house for Fri day night fellowship. The Rev. Robert (Bunny) Marshall serves as director of program and coun selor of students. PiKA Brings Apollo Boys To Columbia The famed Apollo Boys' Choir will appear in concert at 8 p. m., November 19, at Dreher High School Auditorium under t h e auspices of Pi Kappa Alpha fra ternity, Pi Kappa Alpha President Len Baranski announced this week. The program chosen will be both sacred and secular and includes a broad variety of selections from early classical to modern. Tickets are $2.00 each and may be obtained at McGregor's Drug Store, by writing Box 4710, Uni versity, or from any member of the PiKA fraternity. Proceeds from the sale of tickets will be used for the fraternity's annual Christmas Party for the Carolina Orphans' Home. Coleman Cooper, founder and di rector of the Apollo Boys' Choir, is one of the nation's authorities on the training of pre-adolescent boys' voices. He has studied with emi nent teachers in both America and Europe and is an exponent of many fine ideas in choral directing. In 1937 Mr. Cooper was guest of the famous Vienna Boys' Choir at Castle Wilhelminenberg in Aus tria. There he was taught the age old secrets of training boys' voices and is probably the only American to whom this coveted favor was ever extended. Since only unchanged voices are used in the Apollo Choir, Mr. Cooper must keep alert for new talent and therefore extends a per petual invitation to interested boys, parents and teachers to contact the Apollo Choir School in Palm Beach, Florida, for auditions. No young aspirant is ever denied a hearing. SC Student Group Plans Spring Meet At Clemson College The spring meeting of the South Carolina Association of Student Councils was planned at last week's meeting, Don Clark, presi dent of the student body, has an nounced.
