Homecoming Parade, 1958, outgoing queen, photo 2

This image shows Carolyn Wall Taylor, Homecoming queen of 1957, riding in the back seat of a convertible in the Homecoming parade on October 18, 1958, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). The sign on the side of the car reads, "Mrs. Carolyn Taylor 1957 Queen." Homecoming was held in the fall of each year, and included dramatic plays, a parade, an alumni reunion, the Homecoming football game, and a Homecoming dance. The Homecoming parade started at the warehouse on Faculty Drive, traveled down King Street to U.S. 321 to the Promenade and ended at the second Administration Building. The Center Furniture Company and Westinghouse Appliances store can be seen in the background.
