he Roaring Twenties Era Set the Pace for Homecoming .1 -ir . The theme Ramblin ' Gamblin ' Tech was chosen to bring back memories of the golden era of Georgia Tech athletics at a time when the football program here had fallen on hard times. To do that, the clock was turned back to the times of Coaches Heisman and Alexander, the Golden Tornado and regular bowl trips, like the 1929 Rose Bowl excursion. The Homecoming events were chosen to fit this mood. The annual scavenger hunt became a radio mystery theater, with clues to the location of the treasure being broadcast nightly over Tech ' s WREK-FM in the tradition of oldtime radio. As fate would have it, no one, in- cluding the committee that hid the thing, was able to discern the location of the treasure, a facsimile of the Homecoming Queen ' s tiara, after the contest. The an- nual test of strength and cunning became the Stockmarket Olympics, reflecting a popular pastime from that era. In addi- tion, there was a Ramblin ' Gamblin ' Night on the Town and to remind all that the game day was also Halloween, there was a costume party at the Homecoming concert, an appearance by Atlanta pop- new wave band The Producers. At halftime festivities Junior Simone Washington was crowned Homecoming Queen. But playing the Blue Devils from Duke on Halloween Day was too much for the Jackets as they were jinxed with a sound whipping at the hands of their ACC rival. Another Homecoming loss to Duke? The legend lives indeed. TOP. LEFT TO RIGHT: Jon Strombom, Susan Sam- mons and friends dress in Halloween garb for the Homecoming Concert.
