The many attractive floats in tlie parade drew high praise, with Sig ma Mu Sigma copping top honors, pushed hard by the Ministerial As sociation and the Senior Class. Virtually all of the floats featured the rivalry between the Elon Christians and the Catawba In dians, who met in their annual football game as an afternoon fea ture. The parade, which started at the Eva Barker Playground, moved to the Burlington Memorial Stadium, where the Christian gridders struck a high point in the Home coming event as they turned back Catawba 15 to 0 in football. A special feature of the football game was the coronation of Duane Powell, of Smithfield, Va., a: Homecoming Queen, the crown be ing placed upon her by Jim Buie president of the Student Govern ment. The game was followed in the late afternoon by a coffee hour for the returning alumni, which was held in the ball room of the Mc- Ewen Memorial Dining Hall. A large group of the old grads drop ped by and renewed old friendships at the coffee hour. Climaxing the entire weekend program was the annual Home coming Ball in Alumni Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday night. The gymnasium was attractively decor ated in a Japanese theme, and both alumni and students danced to the tunes of The Embers, well known musical group. Queen Duane Powell and her court were presented at the dance, her chief attendant being Janet Faulkner as maid-of-honor. The queen was escorted by John Clay ton. while the maid-of-honor was escorted by Harold Faulkner.
