Displays convey the true message Homecoming always gives dorms and fraternities their chance to convey their message to the opponent that year. Below is a sample of those messages. Theta Chi clearly wants to ring Tennessee Tech ' s neck while Hamil Hall calls on Kermit to mop them up and Tau Kappa Epsilon has the Eagles for a Saturday evening roast. Hamil Hall was awarded first place for Best On-Campus Display while Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternin was awarded Best Off-Campus Display and IFC and Alumni Yard Display. Congratulations to both groups and to the students who worked long hard hours on them. Introduction 1:

Sound of the South . . . Past and Present. This year ' s homecoming activities included the first annual Alumni Band which was sponsored by Tau Beta Sigma and Kappa Kappa Psi. The band was made up of past members of the Sound of the South. Jim Rolling, the original announcer for TSU bands, returned to announce the half-time show and Bruce Smiley served as Drum Major. Nearly 100 Alumni participated in the return of the Sound . While performing, students in the stands could be heard saying When Dr. Long teaches, you don ' t forget! , and the alumni band members confirmed that fact through their outstanding performance! To the Sound, we anxiously await your next performance. 12 Introduction

Standard Chemical Company, Franklin ' s Destroyed by Fire No more daytime meals or nighttime dances will be made by the faithful customers of Franklin ' s and Standard. A 2- hour fire on May 5, proved to be the end of both these businesses. Smoke was spot- ted coming from between Franklin ' s and Standard at ab- out 8:45 p.m., half an hour af- ter the delicatessen had closed and before the Standard was open. Seven fire trucks answered the call, but both businesses suffered total loss. All across campus the next day students could be heard re- miniscing the great sandwiches Franklin ' s served and the good times they had dancing at Stan- dard. Standard and Franklin ' s are gone, but the memories and experiences which people shared will live on forever. 14 Introduction
