Title

Homecoming Queen candidates, posing near railroad tracks, Homecoming, 1950

Description

The 1950 homecoming queen candidates are posing in front of a railroad track. They are front row (left to right): Janet Green, Sac City; Rita Dunn (Queen), Sioux City; Betty Skyberg (Attendant), Canton, SD; Back row (left to right): Pat Binder, Barrington, IL; Claire Schubert, Maywood, IL; Ethel Pearce (Attendant), Mesa, AZ; Marlene Sidney, Davenport.
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.
