Prize to be Given
For Best Theme

chairman. Boxes will be placed
in the Student Union and in the
Co-op. The deadline for submission
of themes is 5 p.m. Friday. Prizes

Homecoming started in 1941
when Hugo Bezdict had "one of
his greatest football teams.” One
hundred alums came back for
Alumni day. After the W'orld War
1, themes became important and
the Homecoming theme was
"Unite to Fight for Oregon.” The
theme "Back to Back Our Ore
gon,’ chosen in 1925, continued
until 1930 when it was changed to
"Oregon Is Going Places.”
In 1940, with the combination
of Dads’ day and Homecoming,
the theme was “Unite for Oregon
— Dads and Grads.” Homecoming
was kept in the spirit of the war
during W'orld War II with “Blitz
the Beavers.” In 1945 it was Duck
Revive in ’45,” in 1947 it was “Re
turn, Recall, Recapture.” The new
SU provided the 1950 theme, “New
Union and Re-union.” Last year’s
theme was “Sing the Story, Ore
gon.”
