CLARK CELEBRATES HOMECOMING
The Significance of Homecoming
Every year there occurs a social phenomenon, of significant in
terest and widely hearlded pageantry, known as Homecoming. The
events leading up to this week serve as a prelude to the exciting
climax—the homecoming parade and football game. It is truly
amazing that during this fantastic week, school spirit and pride seem
to reach heights seldom equaled
during the remainder of the
school year. During this par
ticular week, one can sense an
electric current of anticipation
and expectation in the air. It is
altogether fitting that as the
school year begins, the student
body rallies around those unde
fined principles upon which
school spirit is based; as stu
dents, this indeed is our duty.
The students of Clark College
may take pride in having par
ticipated during this past home
coming week, in an exciting dis
play of enthusiasm for this in
stitution of our choice and its
inherent principles.
We might turn for a moment
to examine the importance of all
the activities of Homecoming
Week. Is it just a lot of to-do
about nothing? Is it unnecessary,
as some have said? I think not.
To every member of the student
body, faculty and alumni,
Homecoming holds particular
significance. To the freshmen, it
is the first glimpse into the ex
citing world of collegiate life, an
introduction to a whole new so
cial experience. For the upper
classmen, it is an integral part
of the social activities which is
an important phase of collegiate
experience. For the faculty and
administration, it perhaps ap
pears to be an exuberant expres
sion of youthful energies, in
contrast to the seriousness of the
classroom. Finally, to the alum
ni, it is a nostalgic return to their
own college days, to re-live earli
er times and recall pleasant
memories.

rade was a spectacular pageant,

queens representing virtually
every major organization on
Campus. The apex of the parade
was, of course, the float of the
newly crowned Miss Clark, Or-
ien Reid, and her court, consist

Miss Regina Ammons. The
splendor of the parade, with its
bright array of colors, festive
music (provided by several out
standing bands, including our
own Clark Panthers), in addi
tion to the myriads of lovely
queens and attendants, served to
make this a truly memorable
Homecoming to all who wit
nessed it.
Our thanks are extended to all
who worked so diligently to
make this one of the finest
Homecomings in the history of
our institution.
