Homecoming 1966 football program [Wake Forest vs Clemson]
The Wake Forest University Homecoming Football Program for October 28, 1972, published by the Sports Information Department, commemorates a pivotal Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) matchup between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Clemson Tigers at Groves Stadium. Priced at one dollar, this magazine-style program offers a snapshot of the university's athletic and academic life during the early 1970s. The contents include team rosters, player statistics, photographs, coaching staff bios, cheerleader features, and a tribute to that year's Hall of Fame inductees: Harry Rabenhorst and Tommy Byrne. The program highlights Wake Forest's efforts to break a losing streak and features profiles of standout players like Frank Harsh, Clayton Heath, and Andy Carlton. Beyond the gridiron, it captures campus life through its "Coed Corner" feature, celebrates notable alumni such as Arnold Palmer and Brian Piccolo, and showcases the institution's growth following its 1956 relocation to Winston-Salem. Illustrated with advertisements from local and regional businesses, the program also reflects sports traditions, community engagement, and marketing aesthetics of the early 1970s collegiate South.
