The halftime ceremonies began with a brief address by our new president. Dr. Lederle . . . Homecoming this year brought more alumni back to the Uni- versity than ever before. The reasons were evident — a new president, a new football coach, a winning football team and a rapidly growing university. The weekend festivities began Fri- day evening with one of the largest and most colorful float parades yet — over forty floats participating. The enthusiasm carried over to Saturday afternoon and our game with the Uni- versity of Connecticut. Spirits were dampened somewhat by our first loss of the year, but not for long. For Saturday night was the scene of many parties including those of the fraternities and sororities who welcomed back old friends. Final score— UCONN 31, UMASS 15 . and a performance by the Rcdrnc Band and the Precisionettes. The second half changed hope to dismay.
