Title

Students performing a football skit on the night before Homecoming, 1969

Description

Students dressed as football players with cardboard wings and can-like hats (like flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz?) perform a skit on the night before Homecoming, 1969. The opposing team is Kansas.
Alumni first began returning to Iowa State for an official Homecoming in 1912. Since then, the celebration continues to entertain both young and old Iowa Staters, with traditional events, including tailgate parties, fireworks, lawn displays, ""Yell Like Hell"" cheering competition, and mass campaniling. Currently, the Student Alumni Association Leadership Council coordinates the efforts of hundreds of students, who volunteer their time to help Story County Habitat for Humanity build a house.
