Parents and Friends eekend Hampden-Sydney's faithful found themselves back at the Hill one week after the inau- gural celebration, as the Tigers entertained a visiting Madison squad for Parents and Friends weekend. This ever popular early fall weekend revolves around carefully planned par- ental visitsg most notable those parents of first year students. After a long night of frater- nity parties on the circle, these expectant freshmen rolled out of bed, at what must have been an unwholesome hour, in order to greet their parents in a state other than one of dishelve- ment. Although the weather was cold and wet, it did little to dampen the spirits of the par- ents as they attended the An- nual Meeting of Parents at 11 o'clock and a hastily arranged luncheon in Gammon Gymna- sium at 12 noon. Later in the afternoon other spirits were used to keep the Hill crowd warm as it watched a muddy defeat at the hands of the Dukes, 21-16. Saturday night a small, but hearty crowd attended a C.A.C. sponsored dance at which the Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose played. A few parents were seen venturing into the gym, but most retreated after hearing a few songs reverberate off the barren concrete walls. Unfortunately, the event ended before it really got started be- cause of new ABC regulations. y'- f' Miw ',--- Those who still wanted to party, however, were able to squeeze into the basement of the Theta Chi house to listen to the Showmen until the wee hours.

Homecoming Hampden-Sydney Home- coming is a pleasant mixture of football, fellowship, and fall weather. There is a certain spirit and enthusiasm which always arises during the week and matures full-blown during this annual fall weekend festi- val. Friday night, October 20, the classes of '38 and '53 had reun- ion dinners, while students en- tertained dates and friends at a schoolwide dance featuring Ianice. Long after the reunions had ended the standing room only crowd in Gammon was clamoring for more, which the band provided in a dynamic dance music finale. Saturday morning activities got underway with a reception on Venable lawn at 9:00 a.m. This was followed by an Alumni Association meeting in Graham Hall, during which the new student center was dedi- cated, and a buffet on Winston lawn before the game. Afternoon athletic activities consisted of the First Annual Alumni Minthon, a 10,000 meter event, and the Hampden-Sydney vs. Davidson football contest. Bobby Waters, younger brother of Admissions wg Director Iohn Waters, won the minithon, while Davidson won the Death Valley game 23 to 14. Most fraternities had food and drink available after the game, providing an appropriate time to renew old acquain- tances and make new ones. Later that evening combos blared on the circle and night- ime revelry continued into the early morning hours. Shep Haw
