  • Homecoming Brings Back Memories
    Lake Charles, Louisiana Volume 57, Issue No. 1 September 2008 Homecoming Brings Back Memories It’s not every day that you see a conga line winding through McNeese campus or downtown Ryan Street, but back in the 1950s, you could see it at least once a year, and one of those drumming to the beat was Kalil Ieyoub, now vice president of administration and student affairs at McNeese, but then just a chemistry student working for a Vice President of Administration and Student Affairs bachelor’s degree. Kalil Ieyoub talks to current SGA President Morgan Verrette. Over the past half-century, Ieyoub, who celebrated his 50th year as a McNeese alum this year, has seen his university grow from a small college in the middle of farmland into a 121-acre main campus, with a 503-acre Farm, a 65-acre athletic plant, student apartment complexes, the Louisiana Environmental Research Center, Burton Coliseum and Cowboy Stadium. Enrollment is nearly four times larger than it was during Ieyoub’s student tenure, and the dirt roads of Ryan Street have long been paved and surrounded with hundreds of Lake Charles businesses. There is one element of campus life that has remained unchanged, however: The fervor of Homecoming. “Homecoming was a big thing in the 50s. On Fridays, school would let out so the students could go to the pep rally in what is now the Memorial Gym. The cheerleaders, band and football team would be there and the students would cheer them on,” Ieyoub said. “After the pep rally, some of the band members would take their instruments, form a conga line and snake through campus.
