Show, Royalty Highlight Follies
A talented group of 14 students who toured Europe and North Africa for the USO this summer and Homecoming royalty were the hits of the "Jayhawk Follies" Friday night in Allen Field House.
The queen, Sharon Sue Stout, Wichita sophomore, gowned in red net, was invested with the emblems of her honor, the purple and white cape, and jeweled crown. Her attendants were Sandra Muntzel, Prairie Village sophomore, and Nancy Squires, Wakeeney senior.
The talented 14 supplied the entertainment with their show, "Jayhawk Jamboree," and royalty consisted of the Homecoming queen and her three attendants, introduced by Jim Schultz, Salina junior and president of the All-Student Council.
Rogert Brown, Topea junior, was master of ceremonies for the "Jayhawk Jamboree," which started off with a tap dance by Manuel Jackson, Kansas City, Kan. senior.
A women's quintet of Beverly Runkle, Pittsburgh junior, Merrilyn Coleman. Lawrence senior; Sheila Nation, Chanute, and Bonnie Dinsmore, Oklahoma City, Okla. juniors, and Martha Crowley, Pittsburg sophomore, sang "Lullaby of Broadway" and "Ain't Misbehavin'."
As the five women dropped to the floor, True Binford, Overland Park sophomore, and Francile Aronhalt and Ruth Taggart, Topeka seniors, appeared out of the blackness to dance "Steam Heat" and "We're Havin' a Heat Wave," with the mellow-voiced Miss Crowley singing the "heat wave" number.
Other numbers included a clever song-and-dance arrangement by Brown, George, Carey, and Farrar; a guitar solo by Brown, a whirling dervish dance by Jackson, a comic dueling scene between George and Brown, and the finale, in which the entire cast sang and played "Beyond the Blue Horizon."
Record Number Believed Here For Homecoming
Alumni who were here Friday evening made up part of the crowd of nearly 3,000 that watched the freshman-varsity basketball game in Allen Field House, followed by the Jayhawk Follies.
As early as Friday morning, KU alumni from all over the country began arriving on the campus for the annual Homecoming activities. By game time Saturday the number of alumni registered at the Student Union exceeded that of last year, and is believed to be the largest number ever to attend a homecoming, the alumni office said today.
Huge Crowd For Game
By 1:30 Saturday afternoon, a crowd of 28,000 had filed into Memorial Stadium for the KU-Nebraska gridiron battle.
Halftime ceremonies featured the crowning of Homecoming Queen Sharon Sue Stout, Wichita sophomore, and presentation of her attendants, Sandra Muntzell, Prairie Village sophomore, and Nancy Squyres, Wakeeye senior. The royalty was escorted by David Bukaty, Fort Scott sophomore; Ed Chimenti, Kansas City, Mo., and Jim Foster, Overland Park, both seniors.
When the game ended, the crowd gradually dispersed, some persons going to the Union for coffee, others to the houses of their sons or daughters or to the homes of old friends. Many used the dusk hours to drive around for a look at the various house Homecoming decorations. The music of Frankie Carle and his band brought a refreshing change of pace to the night hours from 8 to 12 and the Student Union bulged with people trying to find space to dance.
During the band's intermission, George Blackburn, Joopin, Mo., junior, chairman of the Homecoming dance committee, presented Queen Sue, who then awarded trophies for decorations in the "songs for victory" theme homecoming decorations. Winners were: Independent women's houses—Douthart, first place for "You'll Wonder Where the Yellow Went," second to Corbin Hall for "Turn Back the Hands of Time," and third to Miller Hall for "Sentimental Journey."
Trophies Awarded
Sororities-Alpha Chi Omega received first place for "Memories Are Made of This." Chi Omega won second with "Seems Like Old Times," and Delta Delta Delta placed third for "It's a Great Day."
Independent men's houses—Grace Pearson won a first place trophy for their decorations, "Moments to Remember." Templin Hall received second for "Ivory Tower," and Oread Hall placed third with "Ritual Fire Dance."
