Pep Rally Opens Homecoming The fourth annual Homecoming at State Teachers College, Tow-son, will begin, for the first time, on Friday evening. This can be compared to the Walpurgis night of the May Day festivities. Starting the weekend out with a bang will be a Pep Rally. This is under the direction of Margie Sadler, captain of the Cheerlead-ing Squad. Everyone is instructed to meet at Newell Hall this eve-ning at 7:30. A bonfire will be full blaze at the hill over the soc-cer field. After a session of cheers, fun, and just plain yelling, a snake line will be formed. This twist-ing muddle of fun-loving students will whine around the dormitories, over the campus, and who knows where . . . The snake line will, around nine, adjourn to the Student Centre for a good ol' Jam Session. Under the supervision of Barbara Nyce, this gathering of music will carry along the spirit. Lou Seidenman and his three piece combo will of-fer melodies that can be described as ""the most"" or ""real gone."" Ev-eryone should have a really ""crazy"" time. So that all won't die of exhaustion, refreshments will be served. The Jam Session will end with a crash around mid-night. Sounds like fun, see you there! Arabian Daze To Be Theme For Juniors An air of oriental mystery sur-rounds the Junior class in regard to the production of their class as-sembly. This extravaganza will be presented in the auditorium at 2 p.m. on Thursday, November 17. The Juniors have chosen ""Arabian Daze"" as a suitable title for their show. Directing the ""Cast of Tens"" is Angelo Marchione, who promises ""color, music, a lot of singing and dancing."" Henny Honickberg and Jack Lynch are co-directors. Rog-er Marks is in charge of the mu-sic, and Mary Jo Norris is choreo-grapher. Among the eighteen songs on the agenda will be ""The Mahara-jah of Magador,"" ""The Sheik of Araby,"" and ""In the Still of the Night,"" ""or reasonable facsimiles thereof,"" laughed Henny Honik-berg. As to the plot, the only in-formation available was divulged by Jack Lynch: A parody that points up the fact that even though women think that money and material things are important, they find out that love brings them the greatest happiness!"" Henny's standard answer to ques-tions about the production is a mysterious, ""Come and See!"" Four Queens in four years is the record the class of '56 can now brag about with the election of Miss Margy Cole. The monopoly of the homecoming crown began back with the initiation of Home-coming at Towson. In that year Margy Cole, Homecoming Queen. Miss Peggy Whiteleather was elected the first Homecoming Queen of the house of '56. In succession followed Miss Nan-cy Green and Miss Pat Wheeler. Now with the fourth annual Homecoming, Miss Margy Cole National Teachers will reign. Graduation seems to be the only obstacle in the cont'nua-tion of this line of Queens. Margy Cole, a 5'8"", brown eyed brunette, hails from Wheaton Md., a small town near Silver Springs in Montgomery County. Margy was quite surprised when she was informed of her victory in the bat-tle of the beauties. The comment of the Queen is typical of her un-assuming manner. ""It is one of the biggest thrills of my life. I have always thought a lot about Towson but, to have the rest of the kids elect me to represent them as Homecoming Queen is a great honor."" Margy is engaged to Mr. Hal Stuf ft, a third grade teacher and a Towson Graduate. They hope to be married in June. Mr. Maynard Webster, Presi-dent of the Alumni Association will perform his rightful duty and crown Queen Margy I. This has become a traditional and coveted job of the Alumni President. Margie was born in Washington D. C. She attended Roosevelt High School in Washington. She now spends most of her evening hours wrestling with lesson plans for Miss Hurshman's third grade class Exams February 11 at Lida Lee Tall School. The few free hours Margy has are spent either with Hal or following her favorite pastime, singing. 'PRINCETON, N.
