From The Indianapolis News, Saturday, October 18, 1924: Butler College home-coming celebrations began before noon today with students and alumni on many floats created by campus and Greek-letter organizations and in three hundred autos decorated in Blue and White school colors parading from Irvington to Monument Circle where they were joined by Indianapolis citizens in an enthusiastic pep rally. Speeches were made from the balcony of the Hotel English followed by yell leader Tommy Smith leading the crowd in a series of yells. After the demonstration, the parade returned to Irvington where open house was observed by all Butler fraternities and sororities and following the gridiron contest with Centenary College the home-coming events concluded with a bonfire and dance at Carr’s Hall. Delta Tau Delta won the Sphinx Club cup for the most novel float patterned after the Toonerville Trolley.
