Jk omecomincf 1953 October 30-31 was the climax of the football sea- son at Bowdoin this fall. That was the time that many alumni and friends of the College met with the stu- dents for Homecoming.” The weekend began with large numbers of old Bowdoin grads” attending their individual fraternity initiations on Friday. Warm, fair weather Saturday held much activity for everyone. In the morning there were various meetings of the alumni and the elders of the College. At noon, with business out of the way, there was a luncheon for alumni and friends in the Sargent Gymnasium. In the afternoon, a cheering crowd packed Whit- tier Field to watch the Polar Bears play Bates. Bow- doin had little trouble in this tussle, rambling over the Bobcats, 38-13. In the evening, the Houses were filled with happy revelers enjoying cocktail parties and buffet suppers. A dance was held in the gymnasium with a large attendance. The Meddiebempsters, in their first College appearance of the year, stole the show, as usual. The cup for the finest house display was award- ed to Alpha Delta Phi with second place going to Phi Upsilon. Sunday, after the dates and alumni had left, the campus became its quiet self once again, and the 1953 edition of Homecoming” was history.
