College of Puget Sound was celebrating their 1947 homecoming with four days filled with activities and performances. Their main event for homecoming was a minstrel show, which would feature students, alumni and faculty in blackface performing "Gentlemen, Be Seated". There would be two performances, the first one was only for students, the second show would be for alumni and open to the public. Left to right view of Bud Thompson, CPS student, Richard Smith, Class of '36 and CPS Registrar, and Patrick M. Steele, Class of '34 (T. Times, 10/21/47, p. 5).
