Word of Welcome
Given by Haggard
The students have not overlooked
a single detail in the preparation
for this Homecoming. The co-chair-men,
Dave-Northrup and Kay Mac­Kenzie,
the many committee mem­bers
and faculty consultants have
worked harmoniously and diligent­ly
for several weeks,, with one aim
in view—a series of events you will
enjoy. In view of what has been
done, it certainly is easy to write
a word of welcome to you through
the columns of the Collegian.
Queen Sigrid XVII, Betty Pay
and her court, Nancy Lange, Kathy
Barbas, Charlotte Rolie, and Bev­erly
Bergum add a graciousness to
the entire Homecoming. We con­gratulate
these young ladies upon
being chosen for these honors by
the students and we congratulate
the students upon exercising such
good judgment. I am sure you
Alumni, when you see and meet the
Queen and her court, will approve
wholeheartedly.
In behalf of the faculty, staff,
and student body I welcome you
as sincerely as I know to this Home­coming.
