Georgia College unveiled its first homecoming, with the theme “Peace is a Precious Jewel.” “The vast personalities presented in our community can all be expressed through some outlet of the homecoming. Floats, cars, costumes and dorms are each encouraged to interpret ‘peace,’” the Colonnade wrote. The article noted that plans for homecoming were “coming along,” and students were encouraged to take part in making it a memorable event.
