Title

Winners of the Homecoming Bike Race receiving a trophy from Joe Adams, 1953

Description

The two member wining team representing Chi Omega, Eta Beta Chapter, Sorority appear on stage with WOI-TV personality Joe Adams. Adams, who is the master of ceremonies, is presenting the winners with a trophy. The women are dressed in costumes that resemble late 19th century athletic wear.
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.
