Even though other organizations
assist in Homecoming, it is the
members of Alpha Phi Omega that
arc
the real 'unsung heroes' of
Homecoming, It is due to their un
tiring efforts that Texas Tech's
Homecoming is a reality and not
just a plan. It is they who provide
the manpower after the Committee
has outlined the plans and the pro,cdure. The Ex-Students of Texas
Tech find themselves deeply in
debted
to the members of Alpha
Phi Omega and the Homecoming
Committee for providing them a
memorable and outst.mding week
