Page 2 University Daily Kansas Friday Nov 29 1957 Nice Guys And Gals - Welcome Home, Grads —(Daily Kansan photo) SO NICE TO COME HOME TO—The 1957 Homecoming queen and her two attendants join the rest of us in welcoming home alumni. From left, Annette Willis, Wichita sophomore, attendant; Marcia Johnson, Kansas City, Mo. senior, queen, and Julia Ann Herrick, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, attendant. Miss Johnson will be crowned at the Jayhawk Follies tonight. They will be here tomorrow. And tomorrow we'll participate in a custom peculiarly American: putting out the welcome mat when the old grads come home. Several hundred strong, they'll converge on our campus, filling it with cars, kids and wives; pipes, football programs and very old jokes. Grads are funny people. Despite their superior years and worldly wisdom, they sometimes act like kids. Given a brisk fall day, a stirring march and a queen in a convertible, they get misty eyed about the old alma mater. Win or lose, the football team tomorrow will be almost, but not quite as good as when they were in school. And it will be the distinguished grad who grins like a schoolboy when he marches past the stadium cops with a hooch-filled thermos bottle under his arm. Yes, grads seem strange sometimes. However, they are pretty nice people when you get to know them. They come in all sizes and shapes; all types and ages. Old ones and young ones will be up here tomorrow, mingling, shaking hands and asking each other if they "remember when . . ." Somebody in the administration recently got the bright idea of adding up all the University graduates who are listed in Who's Who. The total was impressive. But those listed in "the book" don't tell the whole story of our graduates' accomplishments. Grads have become everything from housewives to historians; from career girls to chemists. They have fought in three wars in this century. Some first came to the campus to learn while cooling off from "hazing" in places like Tarawa and Normandy and Inchon. Some have become rich while a few have stayed downright poor. Some have gained world fame while others have kept things going in the home town. But whatever their economic or social status, each graduate shares the experience of having marched down the hill smack into a tough, competitive world. Grads have done all right. They keep the alumni office humming with gifts and bequests and just plain favors to the University. Smart companies send them out to interview us before graduation. And if there is one in the vicinity, chances are it will be a grad who takes us by the arm, shows us around the office and "breaks the ice" on that first job. As we said before, grads are nice people. As a matter of fact, they get the nod as Nice Guys and Nice Gals Of The Week.

Rumor has it the old T.N.E. grades are back, all right. They planned a Homecoming ceremony all their own, but couldn't find a brother sober enough to give the welcoming address.
