Homecoming - some definitions of the word are the return , the arrival or the end of one ' s journey . It means something different for everyone. For freshman, who are unsure of new faces as it is, it ' s a curious time. For older undergraduates it ' s a great time to see friends who have already graduated and are out in the working world. For the alumni, it ' s a chance to reminsce of fond times at WPI and catch up on years gone by...or months gone by, as was the case with the 0 year reunion held at this Homecoming. Homecoming ' 86 got off to a great start with comedian George Carlin on Friday night. Harrington Auditorium was overflowing with people. Carlin ' s genre of humor was light and appropriate for a broad audience. He went crazy a couple of times, but being the professional that he is, his performance was casual throughout. The crowd gears up for George Carlin. Homecoming 19
