It was a cold rainy morning as the students began to arise, on November 4th. Nobody needed to take a second look to tell them that the day would not be a nice one. Snow was mixed with rain only to melt when it touched the ground. Yes, this was one day Which would not be very enjoyable physically. The day before, at the annual flag pole rush there had been a strong, cold Wind. Even that morning the temperature was still falling. Alumni, friends and parents undaunted by nature began to make their appearance on campus. Main Street by noon was bustling with activity. People were having to park their cars a block away from their destination. The an' nual Ohio Northern Homecoming was getting started. The activities for the day Were: 9:30-Pushmobile Race. 10:00-Convocation honoring Dean Raabe. ll:OO-Alumni Meeting. Judging the Homecoming decorations. 1:00 p.m.-Parade to the Football Field. 2:00-Ohio Northern vs. Capital Football Game. Q 6:30-Dinner for Dean Raabe at Kappa Psi House. 8:UO+Play Belvedere presented at Presser Hall. Auld Acquaintance Ball at Taft Gym. Because of the nature of the day the parade was called off and only the game was played. This fact did not deter the alumni from reminisc- ing of past homecomings. In the earlier years the program officially began on Friday evening when the flag raising started the eventful occasion. Saturday morn- ing the golf enthusiasts would journey to Ken- ton Where a golf match Was held. Saturday afternoon would find the stands at the football game filled with loyal alumni. Since that time Homecoming has grown and devel- oped in many Ways, but there is still sentimen- tal, nostalgic feeling attached to return of the grads. 1 Page Thirteen w
