- This 1952 official football program commemorates the Homecoming Day game between Wake Forest College and North Carolina State College, held at Groves Stadium in Wake Forest, North Carolina. The game marked the 46th meeting in a long-standing rivalry dating back to 1895. The illustrated program features profiles of players and coaches, including Wake Forest team captain Jack Lewis and head coach Tom Rogers, as well as lineup rosters, historical commentary on previous Wake Forest-N.C. State matchups, and student involvement in athletics and campus life. In addition to athletic content, the program includes advertisements from local businesses and national sponsors like Lucky Strike and 7-Up, reflecting the commercial and cultural climate of early 1950s college football. Cheerleaders, majorettes, and ROTC involvement are also showcased.
