Abstract
Records related to West Virginia University's homecoming weekend celebrations in the 1950s consist of homecoming reports submitted
by the homecoming coordinator from 1951, 1952, 1955, and from 1957 to 1961. Reports offers suggestions and advice for how
to organize and prepare for the next year's homecoming weekend. Materials provide information about organizing homecoming
committees and about individual events, including the parade; dance, alumni breakfast, house decorations, and carnival, as
well as programs and the budget. Report also includes correspondence related to homecoming (chiefly suggestions for the following
year); reports from committee chairmen (mostly preliminary preparations and recommendations); and newspaper clippings about
the weekend. The amount of information varies depending on the year.
