Homecoming Hops For the second year in a row. Homecoming Hops fell before Opening Hops (which is pretty consistent with other forms of logic that prevail at VMI). Nonetheless, Hops at VMI are something special. They are a time to escape from the regular routine, and even enjoy the company of a lady. Those cadets with girlfriends in their home towns find rides or make flight reservations. For many, the weekend will be worth flying girlfriends in from as for away as Chicago, New York, and Mississippi. Hops begin with the Friday night formal ball, and continue through Saturday night with the informal dance.

That evening it ' s another night of ro- mance on the dance floor. Homecoming Hops were especialy enjoyable as even some alumni deciced to attend the dances. If they are not at the hops, their presence is most definitely felt afterwards. Various types of partying continue all through the night, as cadets moke the most of a short weekend. The hop week- end comes to on all to familiar end with the ladies leaving their grey clad knights in fronts of barracks and bidding them fare-the-well with a most gratifying . . . handshake?
