THIS ISSUE CHRISTMAS, 19%2 Homecoming Impressive Service Flag Presented to Tech Admiral Towers Pacific Air Chief Tech at Democratic Convention Alumni Board Named Alumni in the U. S. Army and Navy "Gold Star" Alumni Alumni in High Positions Geographical Directory—Sports
Home Coming Impressive Event Featured by the Home Coming luncheon ceremonies, decorated chapter houses, the Rambhn' Wreck contest; and concluding with the memorable victory of Tech over Alabama, on Saturday, November 14, the 1942 Home Coming was a great success in every way. The program at the largely attended Home Coming luncheon was most impressive. Mr. R. B. Wilby, President Georgia Tech Alumni Association, presided. He called upon Judge Frank A. Hooper, Jr., to present a Service Banner from the Alumni Association to the College, in tribute to and in honor of the Gold Star alumni and all other Georgia Tech men in the armed forces. Mr. Hooner's able presentation was followed by Dr. M. L. Brittain's very fine acceptance for the school; after which the entire body stood in silence in honor to all alumni who have died, both in the service and in all other walks of life. The Star Spangled Banner was then sung by the assemblage, while standing. Among the honor guests at the luncheon were members of the Pioneer Classes: of this group, those present were: Messrs. H. L. Smith, 1890, Dalton, Ga., the first person to receive a Georgia Tech diploma; J. D. Goldsmith, 1891, Atlanta; J. B. McCrary, 1891, Atlanta; A. R. Colcord. 1892, Atlanta; A. D. Black, 1892, Washington, D. C, a member of Tech's first football team; and Wm. "Mr. Billy" Van Houten, head of Foundries. Representative groups from the faculty, alumni, and student bodies, were also present, along with the reunion classes, the alumni in general, and their lovely wives, families, and dates.
