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. This year’s homecoming pa rade was a spectacular pageant, featuring a bevy of beauteous DR. WYNN HOMECOMING SPEAKER Dr. Master J. Wynn, President of Gammon Theological Seminary, deliv ered the Homecoming Address during the weekly festivities. Dr. Wynn was an English major of the class of 1939. Shown with him is his major professor. Dr. Stella Brewer Brookes. 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 ing of Miss Yvette Hull and 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.
