HIGHLIGHTS OF PARENTS-ALUMNI WEEKEND 1962

Over 500 Parents and Alumni visited the campus last week for the second annual Parents- Alumni Weekend. The weekend guests were greeted with a display of outdoor advertising put up by student organizations. Sigma Pi Fraternity captured the first place trophy. Planned tours through the various departments and schools were given by the students. Films, displays and demonstrations gave the parents a greater insight into RIT's educational programs. A box luncheon which almost ran short of lunches, a tour of the "new campus" and a "Tiger Revue" of talent produced by the Performing Arts Council of RIT were highlights of Parent- Alumni Weekend for 1962.
