A parade wound its way

through Vancouver's narrowstreets of 1922 .

It broke up and hundred sof students travelled bytram to Tenth and Sasamat .

They marched throughthe bush, each carrying a

stone, to where the presen tCairn is .

* * *The stones were meant to

symbolize student determin-ation to build a universit y

at the Point Grey site .

And the man responsiblefor much of the organization

of the Great Trek of 1922will be honored at Thurs-day's pep meet in the gym .

Dr. A. E. "Ab" Richards ,

AMS president in 1922-2 3will receive this year 's Great

Trekker award .

the organizational work con -

tures to Victoria and pre-

sented them to Premier Joh n

Oliver .

UBC started to rise soon

after.

Thus the tradition of stu-

dent autonomy which set s

UBC apart from other uni-

versities was started .

tinued to be a leader .

After finishing post grad-

uate work in 1949 he entered

Published once every Homecoming especially forHomecoming and for you . This Special Homecomin gEdition is produced to help Publicize Homecoming an dspread the true Homecoming Spirit so never again wil lit be said : "Homecoming—so what?"

. .. .. . . .. . .. .. . .

The 1963 Homecoming Committee has endeavored to pro -vide an extensive program of events for the 37th AnnualHomecoming .

Each event has been planned with consideration for thevaried interests of the huge UBC campus .

The committee examined previous homecomings exhaus-tively and has come up with several new ideas and has en-larged upon previously successful events . Perhaps the big-gest difference from previous years is the introduction of aHockey game to the sports schedule. This will be a rousin gevent with entertainment being provided between periods anda free sock hop and skating party to follow .

First-class entertainment has been provided at both thePep Rally and the dances.

Homecoming, however, is not limited to student celebra-tions . Homecoming gives graduates an opportunity to returnto their Alma Mater and to see old friends and professors.

I hope that all undergraduates will go out of their wayto welcome back Alumni . It is up to us to show them that thespirit of their Alma Mater still prevails and is greater perhap seven than they remember it .

Bright, new lookA return to the Commodore, the battlefield of old, will

be the grand finale of Homecoming 1963 .

Taking the Alumni Ball back to the familiar GranvilleStreet location will be a nostalgic wind-up to Homecomin gcelebrations that are planned with a fuller purpose andbroader meaning than those in the past .

Homecoming '63 has a bright new look . This year's pro-

gram indicates the tremendous strides forward the universityis taking .

The 3,000 Alumni expected back at Point Grey will beshown the startling new structures shooting up all ove rcampus.

They'll be greeted at the Homecoming luncheon at th enew "food commissary"—a handsome addition to the campus .

The theme is "The University is People—Meet thePeople . " Graduates will be greeted with something more per-sonal than rows of buildings; they ' ll mix at the casual recep-tion with faculty, student leaders and administrators .

And going hand-in-hand with progress at UBC will be aspace seminar and display of one of the space capsules use dby an American astronaut .

Going along with the new-look Homecoming, Alumnican inspect the new Winter Sports Centre and the new glamo rteam, the UBC Olympians hockey team . They 'll clash withMemorial Cup champions, Edmonton Oil Kings, on Frida ynight, Oct . 25 .

Next day, of course, will be the Homecoming footbal lgame as Thunderbirds, defending Western Canadian cham-pions, go against University of Saskatchewan Huskies .

There'll be a duplicate bridge tournament, a bonspie lgolf for both men and the ladies, and even a home economic slecture.

To all of you, may I extend the warmest invitation toparticiapte in Homecoming '63 .
