prancing of an assortment of
high-stepping majoretts. j
The celebration really gets go
ing on Friday evening, November
Eral crack bands and to the fancy 18 when the local drama guild, di-
Campus Sweetheart
m
rected by Miss Lois P. Turner,
gives Irvin Shaw’s “Bury The
Dead” for the entertainme:it of
the visitors. And you won’t for
get that for the past several years.
Miss Turner and her players have
touched off the homecoming fes
tivities in a big way.
Rain or shine, a mammouth
parade will get under way Satur
day morning at 11:00 a, m.,
parade downtown and return in
time to add zest to the kick off at
2:00 p. m. sharp. The homecoming
gome will be played this year with
our sister institution, Elizabeth City
Teachers College. That, too, thinks
Charles Black, one Kentucky con
tribution to this year’s Bronco
machine, “will come out all right”,
when “State” opens up her bag
of tricks and begins marching
razzle dazzle down the field. Her
majesty, Eunice George, this
year’s homecoming queen will
reign with becoming dignity.
The evening dance will be
great too; don’t miss it. Every
body will be there — everybody.
Little Miss Mae Louise Seabrook, sweetheart of the campus, takes
advantage of State’s grassy lawns and winding walks. Why not?
Her dad is the school’s president.
