Homecoming Dance railroad crossing decoration, 1965

Homecoming Dance railroad crossing decoration has arms labeled Homecoming, the dance theme of Night Train, and the name of the band, Les Elgart, known for its song Night Train, 1965.

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.
