'Traces, Faces' set homecoming theme; lJison beat sse Homecoming brought 'Traces and Faces of Harding' honoring the class of 1949. Alumni returned to relive memories gathered during their years at Harding. They found that things had changed. There were new buildings. new faces, and more students, but the memories were there. The lily pond still stood ready to receive protesting students, the swings still sat under the lights, and students still formed long lines outside Pattie Cobb Dining Hall. The weekend opened with the traditional chili supper and pep rally at Camp Wyldewood. Saturday morning found social clubs serving breakfasts honoring old members. Leading the parade in the morning, Governor and Mrs. Dale Bumpers greeted the crowd gathered to view the floats. Brisk football weather set the stage for a record crowd and a 12 to 0 victory over the Southern State Muleriders. Senior Brenda Hassler received her crown from Dr. Ganus at half time and reigned over the festivities. A Black and Gold Banquet, an S.A. movie, and 'My Fair Lady' completed the weekend. Homecoming ended leaving teary eyes as friends exchanged goodbyes and warm hearts as they promised to return next year. HOMECOMING / 41
