Skipping to 1958, the CC Homecoming activities were highlighted with a pep rally and the coronation of the Homecoming Queen in Bemis Quad. That year the traditional bonfire was replaced by a large spotlight in the middle of the Quad and strings of lights around the area because there was no safeplace to build the bonfire near the campus. In previous years the bonfire had been in the Cossitt Bowl. The usual snake dance was also eliminated because of complaints from downtown business owners. The Homecoming Queen was crowned at the pep rally as well as the first Homecoming King in CC's history.
Activities have varied and class reunions became an important part of the festivities.
The football game has continued with the addition of other athletic events.
