One-Year relegate LET US KNOW YOU ARE COMING FOR HOMECOMING, NOVEMBER 26 HOMECOMING Homecoming Day, November 26th. The day is set, and plans are being made for the biggest Homecoming the University has ever had. The Aggie game promises to be a scrap from start to finish— the Alumni dinner will be so good there won’t be a scrap left— unless there's one for space at the big Homecoming dance in the Gym. Things will start off with Singing-on-the-Steps Wednesday night, November 25th, and a rally for the big Aggie game the next day, followed by a reception for all alumni and former students at the home of President and Mrs. Clapp, 66 1 University avenue. The Grizzly-Bobcat game will start promptly at 2:30 on Thursday afternoon, November 26th. Both the Bobcats and the Grizzlies have greatly improved teams this year, so the fiercest of struggles is anticipated. Hundreds of old grads and former students will find themselves stirred by a thrill of accomplishment when they see the new Alumni Athletic Field, as it stands against old Sentinel, a symbol of alumni loyalty to their Alma Mater. It is 17 years since an Aggie eleven has chalked up a victory against a Grizzly team. Last year the ancient rivals did not clash, but the year before they staged one of their most thrilling tussles at Bozeman when the University won 23-13. Despite our victories over the Bobcats they are not to be sniffed at this fall. However, if the alumni do the coming and the shouting, the fighting Grizzlies will do the rest. Even an Aggie game can’t altogether wipe out of alumni minds that mental picture of a big Thanksgiving dinner——turkey and all the fixin’s— we’ll have it all ready at North Hall at 7 p. m. Not a banquet— nothing of the sort— just a big informal Thanksgiving dinner— a get together of alumni and former students— with few talks, and those few * short,' but lots of eating. After the dinner, everybody will go to the gymnasium for the big Homecoming dance—all alumni and former students of both institutions will be admitted to the dance free, for we know they’ll have spent all their money by that time. We'll have an orchestra there playing such music that even the Homecomers who haven't danced since they left these halls of learning will get out on the floor and hop around till they hear the strains of ’Home, Sweet Home. Homecomers are invited to attend class rooms and laboratory periods all day Friday, November 27th. This will be a fine chance to see all the new buildings, to see how things have changed since “the good ol* days,” and to listen once more to some of the Profs who have terrified many a Frosh till his ears curled up under his green cap with fright. ’’Captain Applejack,” a romantic melodrama, will be presented by the Montana Masquers at the Liberty Theater on Friday night, November 26th, at 8:15 p. m. Alumni will be given preference in making reservations for the play by mail. The Milwaukee and the Northern Pacific railroads have granted an open rate of a fare and one-third from all points in Montana. Definite information will be sent out to all alumni and former students, together with blanks for making hotel reservations, reservations for seats at the football game, plates at the dinner, and seats at the Masquers' play. Sigma Delta Chi, men’s national journalism fraternity, and Theta Sigma Phi, women’s national journalism fraternity, will have charge of getting out a Home coming souvenir program. This souvenir will not only contain the official program of Homecoming and the game, but also pictures and mention of Paul Dornblaser, in whose memory our athletic field was named, Cy Gatin, for whom Gatin field at the State College was named, and writeups and pictures of both the Aggie and the Grizzly teams. The Bear Paws and the Tanans, men’s and women’s honorary sophomore organi zations, will meet all the trains at Homecoming and will be at the service of all Homecomers. We’re making Big Plans for a Big Homecoming— but we 11 need a Big crowd of Homecomers in order to put it over Big. LET US KNOW YOU ARE COMING FOR HOMECOMING, NOVEMBER 26 4 THE MONTANA ALUMNUS Come Home for Homecoming To the Alumni: We are always glad to have you former students back with us on the campus, but we are especially glad to welcome you home for Homecoming. The local committee has been buzzing around in my outer office so industriously for so long, I am sure they are going to make your homecoming very well worth while. I wish that it were possible for you to have a larger and larger part in the control of the University. However, such control is not a right just because you are Alumni. It is a privilege and a right that is earned only by your greater sense of obligation to the University and by your greater knowledge of condi tions, and hence by your greater fitness to serve fairly all the interests of Mon tana. If you would have this greater knowledge, come back and see the old game on the new field, which you have helped to build, listen to the noise from the stands, talk to the old and new members of the faculty, chum with your class mates and fellow alumni, and meet the largest student body Montana has ever seen. Yours for Montana, C. H. CLAPP, President. Billings, Montana, October 22, 1925. Dear Alumni: We’re going to have a real Homecoming at the University Thanksgiving Day. Other articles in this Alumnus give full information regarding the program, —the football game with the Aggies at 2:30, the big turkey dinner at North Hall following the game, and the dance in the new Gymnasium to wind up the day.—to say nothing of the other features planned for those who stay over the week-end. There isn’t any doubt that it will be by far the best Homecoming held thus far by Montana Alumni. If you ’re there, you ’ll get a chance to see in action the best football team the University has turned out for ten years at least; and the game, of course, will be played on the new Athletic field,—the field made possible by the loyal sup port most of you have given it. The Milwaukee and Northern Pacific railroads have granted an open rate of a fare and one-third from all points in Montana. To the alumni living in East ern Montana that is an important consideration. Billings is over 350 miles from Missoula, but at least eight or ten of us will be there by Thanksgiving morning. And we’re expecting those of you who live nearer Missoula to come in much larger numbers. The Homecoming committee is working hard to make’ this the greatest event in the history of the Alumni Association. They have a most attractive program,—one that will interest every graduate and former student. Let us do our part by giving them a record attendance. Sincerely yours, “ BILL” JAMESON, President Alumni Association. LET US KNOW YOU ARE COMING FOR HOMECOMING, NOVEMBER 26 THE MONTANA ALUMNUS 5 Come Back OP Timer—How d’ya Do! Coming home? Sign “ Yes” on Helen Newman’s dotted line, arrange your dates, pack your grip and come. The old campus needs your presence and you’ll feel better if you make this personal contribution toward fixing perma nently this Montana Homecoming tradition. This 1925 Homecoming should be the.finest in point of numbers and in the matter of loyalty to the University that has ever been held. There’s a lot here that’s new to you—come and see it. Better, there’s a lot that’s old—the very stuff for which you have been homesick ever since you left the campus. Come. It will renew and strengthen the old associations and it will establish new bonds which will hold to you more closely and more dearly the University which you are helping to become great. “ DEAN” STONE. “ Doc” Rowe: “ My good friends, alumni of the State University: Home coming—what does that mean to you? To me it means everything dear that college held for me when I was a youngster. During your college days here you probably made some of the best friendships you will ever have.
