Homecoming Parade, 1958, Boone's Dancers

This image shows a float titled Boone's Dancers driving past the Watauga County Hospital, built 1932, during the Homecoming parade on October 18, 1958, at Appalachian State Teachers College (1929-1967). A group of young girls can be seen sitting on the back of a truck from the Mountain Lumber Company of Boone, NC, holding a sign reading, "ASTC You win for us we'll dance for you." 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.
