  • Homecoming-Post-Game Party-At Park Tower Club Oct. 27 New Conference, Doubled Manpower, Usher in New Football Era
    ews NUMBER 1. Alumnus Olim, Aeternum Amicus VoLUME XXVI OcTOBER 1962, (At One Time a Student, Forever a Friend) MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE Double Celebration SECOND JOHNSTON TWOSOME AT SW Homecoming~ Parents~ Day~ Oct. 27 The fall's two major events, Homecoming and Parents' Day, will be combined this year in one large economy-size celebration on Saturday, Oct. 27. Unification of the two will effect a tremendous saving in travel time for the increasing number of alumni who are also parents and like to attend both events - and a saving in valuable class time, for one holiday allows students and professors a free day for both events, with ample time for visiting. Another innovation this year which promiseS to be a popular one is the post-game party, including supper in the Park Tower Clubroom, 57 N. Somerville. Homecoming will go on into the eve­ ning as alumni gather here to celebrate and reminisce. Homecoming and Parents' Day separately have drawn several hundred in past years, so probably more than a thousand will attend the combined program, plus many who come through the campus just to see the fraternity and sorority lawn decorations, which are artistically and ingeniously executed on elaborate scales each year. They can be viewed from 10 a.m. on through the day and the public is invited to see them. Wearing the traditional fr eshman beanies, twins Janice and The day's football game with Maryville College at 2 p.m. at Dick Johnston of Sheffield, Ala., are among the 280 members of the Hodges Field will inspire the themes.
