description

This is the official 1937 Homecoming football program for the Wake Forest College Demon Deacons, documenting the October 16 matchup against the University of North Carolina Tar Heels held at Gore Field in Wake Forest, North Carolina. The illustrated publication includes detailed team rosters with player names, weights, heights, class years, and hometowns, alongside photographs and descriptions of coaching staff, including head coach Peahead Walker. A spirited welcome message from Wake Forest President Dr. Thurman Kitchin highlights the long-standing rivalry and camaraderie between Wake Forest and UNC. The program contains historic anecdotes, such as a retelling of the schools' earliest football encounters dating back over 40 years, and also features the lyrics to several Wake Forest alma mater songs and fight songs. It's also filled with advertisements from local businesses and sponsors.
