Title

Crowning of Queen, Cathy Olson, Homecoming 1957

Description

Cathy Olson is crowned 1957 Homecoming Queen by Chuck Schwab at the Pep Barbeque in the Armory. The attendants, Linda Sloan and Jo MacDonald look on. The Iowa State Singers pay tribute by singing ""Friendly Persuasion.""
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.
