A Word Of Welcome
To Old Grads And Friends
From The Alumni President
Greetings to All Alumni
You are most cordially wel¬
come to our 1949 Homecom¬
ing. I am sure you will enjoy
today for two reasons: First,
because the occasion will allow
you once again to show your
loyalty to your Alma Mater;
and, second, because you’ll
have a mighty good time re¬
newing old friendships and en¬
joying the many events which
have been planned for your
pleasure.
The college recognizes and
appreciates the interest which
you have always taken in its continued welfare. Its growth and
continued existence is, and always will be, largely dependent
upon the good will of its former students and devoted friends.
For that reason the administration, the faculty, and the present
student body wishes you to feel welcome on this homecoming
occasion.
That you may enjoy yourselves to the fullest the college
has prepared a series of entertainments you won’t want to miss.
Remember all the good looking girls you used to know when
you were a student there? Well, our record for pulchritude has
not dimmed through the years. We think the present crop of
beauties is as fine as ever, and that you may judge for yourself,
we have arranged for the crowning of'a beauty queen.
But we also think that some remembrance of pretty girls and
handsome men of times gone by is appropriate. Therefore,
there will be another contest, and here’s your chance to shine.

And From Howard’s President
AN official of the Southern
\ssociation of Colleges once
leclaied that the best possible
neasure of the standards of a
;ol!ege would be the after-
Greers of its graduates and
ormer students — their prog-
ess and prosperity, their
worth and usefulness. Howard
College is willing to be judged
by its graduates, is proud to
stand on their records.
FOR myself, for the trustees
of the college, for the faculty,
for a body of students who
have your old spirit, and for a
host of hospitable friends I
you welcome, assuring you that we are glad to have you
to the college.
MAKF, this a good Homecoming for yourselves. Look
around you. Count the changes, as many of them as you have
time for. Make yourself completely at home. Introduce your¬
self to everyone you don’t already know — or who may no
longer easily call your name — and in every way take over a
college which still belongs to you with a richness of possession
which you may not have stopped to think about or realize.
Cordially and sincerely,
HARWELL G. DAVIS.
