CPS Homecoming Parade, Times, buzz. The College of Puget Sound Homecoming Parade was held November 6, 1948, from Union Station up Pacific Avenue and Stadium Way to Stadium Bowl before the Homecoming football game. Prizes were awarded to the fraternity that entered the oldest car and to the fraternity with the best decorated float. Individual prizes were given to best clown or pair of clowns. The sign hanging on the side of the truck on loan from Griffin Fuel Company shown here says, "I may be old but I'm here with bells" . The building that can be seen in the background is at 1754 Pacific Ave. It is now part of the University of Washington Tacoma campus. (T.Times, 11/5/1948, p.1) TPL-8690
