Miss Homecoming in Downtown Parade - Miss Beverly A. Smith, a senior sociology major from Greensboro and North Carolina College's "Miss Homecoming," waves during the college's downtown parade Saturday marking the annual Homecoming.

"Miss Homecoming's" float, one of some seventeen, was a featured attraction in the 65-unit parade which wound through downtown Durham and constituted one of the city's largest parades in recent years.

In addition to floats and automobiles, eleven bands and three drill teams participated in the parade.
