ittle more than a short month later, October l l-. llomeeoming had arrived again. Due to war- time aetivities and restrietions in travel, only forty-two alumni were able to visit Culver tl1is year.hut this detail failed to make the holiday' the less enjoy able. lloth plebes and old men found themselves well adjusted for the year whieh had just begun, and thus on Friday night they delighted in letting off some steam at the tradi- tional snake danee and game rally. The weather the following morning was exeeptionally llllt' and in the spirit of the oeeasion the barraeks appeared deeorated with llomeeoming signs whieh seemed strangely similar to those ofyears past. The foot- ball team eooperated beautifully by eontinuing their undefeated season at the expense of Park Fehool I2-0. The .lazz Band held forth that night in the little gy ln, after the show, with the y'ear's first danee. Sunday found most of the alumni leaving again, as many' fond farewells were witnessed in the Club Room that afternoon. There were few persons that realized that the 19444-45 llomeeoming was to have been a gala event in the all-year program eelebrating the Golden Anniversary of the Academy. Back in the early part of l9fl-,l Neademy and Legion offieials announeed that plans were to be made for the oflieial observanee of the fiftieth birthday of the Aeademy. With the outbreak of war, plans were shelved lor the duration. llowever. the aetual importanee of the oeeasion was not neglected as the alumni oflieers, representing nearly 7,000 grads, in their annual meeting took far-reaehing steps in the interests of C.M.:N.
