The 15.000 citizens of Troy, slightly weary but still bristling with j happiness and excited memories a thrill-packed homecoming week, returned to the three Rs today after a just completed 6-day celebration J held in honor of the “old grads”
; of the Cardinal and Gold.
Homecoming week, this year using j as its slogan. “Recall Your Joy in j the Halls of Troy.” got under way bright and early Monday morning after the student body, just re-; turned from a 4-day Thanksgiving ’ j session, turkeyly contented, found1 | itself faced with the toughest as- j ’ signment of <the semester—the ! choosing of Helen of Troy.
CANDIDATES VIE
Fifty-seven candidates, vying for the most esteemed coed honors— being chosen as the most beautiful woman on campus—paraded across the Bovard stage as the judges’ eyes pushed, pulled, and click clicked, in an attempt to choose the five finalists, one of whom would be her most gracious majesty.
The momentous announcement was made on the steps in front of Bovard. Wednesday, when Dr. Fred D. Fagg Jr.. university president, placed the crown on 18-year-old Maxine Ewart, green eyed freshman, and named the other four finalists as Troian attendants.
ROW’ DECORATES
WThile the choosing of royalty was on the stove at week's beginning, the Row was concocting some ideas of welcome designed to “hi” the alumni back home. It spent last weekend sprucing up its fraternity and sorority houses for the Monday afternoon contest when judges visited the Row to name the best dressed house as sweepstake winner.
Honor of grand winner was given to Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity for the depiction of a SC alumnus seated before his fireplace visioning
Irish Gathering Starts March lOver Trojans
A brilliant array of nationally known stars assembled last Friday night at the Biltmore ballroom to entertain a selected audience of Notre Dame rooters. Pat O’Brien and Walter O'Keefe emceed the affair which was arranged by the Notre Dame club of Los Angeles.
Another staunch son of Erin, Dennis Day, brought a lilt to the Irish hearts by singing two songs from the Emerald isle. Comedians Danny Thomas, Hugh Herbert, and Jimmy Durante, appeared and made with the humor. Lou Costello seemed tired when he walked into the lobby of the ballroom but once up on the stage he performed in the best Costello style.
Singer Margaret Whiting sang three popular ballads and departed immediately. Most of the entertainers remained for the whole show and heard what Coach Frank Leahy had to say about the game. He confined his remarks, however, to relating an anecdote and congenial banaiities.

Hudson Performance! Sparkles In Latest DeMille Production
/ 0S r • / ~ I by Trojan Critijl Throughout “End of Summer,” current production of the drama department, one quantity remains constant: the performance of Barbara ijidson as Leonie Frothingham. Miss Hudson’s portrayal of the vertiginous oil heiress is alfrolic from beginning to end.
Her transitions from the gay divorcee to the w^nan of depth, able at least to resist the blandishments of an unfaithful suitor, and backf'o the romantic in the finals scene are a delight.	(--j|---
