The multifaceted Shocker gathering, held Feb. 17-22, featured events of every nature — audacious, exciting, rejuvenating, creative, relaxing and daring. Activities included a Worldwide Spirit Day, a Nearly Naked Run, the Class of 1964's 50-year reunion, the inaugural Shockers Got Talent show and the selection of a Homecoming King and Queen chosen from a Cirque du WSU royalty court of 10 Wichita State seniors.
Mogie Curmode and Roy Moye III were announced as Queen and King at halftime of the Feb. 22 Shocker men's game against Drake at Koch Arena.
