Assembly, Awards Alumni Return To Campus For Annual Homecoming Events The rains came down as a prelude to ABAC's Homecoming Day celebration, but faithful alumni and friends braved the wet weather to return to campus for events of the day. The alumni meeting was sparked by addresses made by three former presidents of ABAC, Dr. l. G. Woodroof, 1933-34, Dr. George H. King, 1934-47, Dr. George P. Donaldson, 1947-61. Each President recounted humorous occurrences which marked his administration, and recalled memories especially dear to the alumni. Several awards and achievements on campus were cited by Dr. l. Clyde Driggers, current president, including the recent construction of new buildings, enlarged enrollment and plans for a Chapel of All Faiths. Among the awards presented by the Association were the following: Grandbaby, Master john llay layl Strickland, lr., Master Homemaker, Mrs. Ann English, and Master Farmer, Mr. Paul English. A new award was established this year when Lt. Governor George T. Smith was presented the first annual Distinguished or Civil wartannon on Homecoming float, Alumni Award.
