The Orator speaks to the assembled students, alumni and friends, the Queen's subjects dance, tumble, clown, and circle the Maypole. When the program has come to an end, participants and audience join in a buffet luncheon and afterwards return to the campus to watch the college baseball team play against some favorite opponent. The fourth and last of Cedarville's homecoming events is the Alumni Banquet which comes at Commencement time. Dinner is served by the Ladies' Advisory Board in the gym.
