A Coming Home encompasses more than just tearful reminiscences of the good old days. It is an opportunity for those who return to learn about the conditions that members of the family at home, still face. It's a chance for visitor and resident alike to meet and get to know each other. It's a time for the visitor to learn of new faces, new programs, new facilities, and new problems that exist in the place he once knew well. It's a time for the visitor to relax and to greet others who were once his companions. With these intents, a group of alumni, administrators and students contrived Homecoming 1970. This weekend's activities opened Friday noon with a Golden Anniversary Luncheon for the Class of 1920. The remainder of that day's program included two award presentations.
