VMI To Entertain Alumni At Annual Homecoming Weekend A ViMI Homecoming is an event looked upon with great anticipa-tion 'by all concerned. Although [the floats and displays of the [type that graced the campus next loor are absent, the color and ex-litement run just as high, if not ligher. The Alumni, for instance, have chance to renow friendships fith former brother rats, com-ire the military skills of this year's corps with those of years Hone by in a review parads given their honor on Saturday and see Big Red team roll up another :tory. Among other activities, mned for them this year by the liimni Association, are a pre-gifiie speech by Major Henry Wise '94, member of the first VMI football team, of which he became captain in 1893 and a luncheon held in his honor in the officer's mess. The luncheon, beginning at 12:15 will include, as guests sev-eral of Ulajor Wise's personal (friends, as well as other distin-guished visitors. For the Corps of Cadets there will be no dearth or activities either. On Friday evening, supper will be more in the form of a par-ty than a meal. Cadets will dress informally (in class dyke) be per-mitted to sboke, and listen to mu-sic from a specially provided com-bo. On Saturday afternoon, there will be the gajne, and in the even-ing there will be an informal hop. Full hop privileges will be in ef-fect and dates will be provided for those who wish them. The fact that sets the 1962 Homecoming off from those in former years is that this year the game will be plaj-ed "at home."
