Audrey Lynn Moncure Walter Clayton

EVERYONE at the University of Richmond from the president to the lowliest "rat" will join in putting out the welcome mat for the hundreds of old grads who arc expected to return to the campus Homecoming weekend, November 8-9.

Returning alumnae and alumni will have separate programs on their respective sides of the University Lake Saturday morning and then will join in a noon luncheon at which the University will be host.

Rival fraternities and other campus organizations already are busily at work on their floats for the homecoming parade which will lead to City Stadium for the big football game between the Spiders and George Washington's strong eleven.

Attractive homecoming programs have been worked out by alumnae and alumni committees, headed by Mrs. Richard Moncure, ·so, and Walter Clayton, '36.

The ladies will start the procession back
