description

The 1957 Wake Forest Homecoming Football Program was produced for the Wake Forest College football game against the University of Virginia. The program serves as both a game-day guide and a promotional and commemorative artifact. It opens with welcome messages and institutional highlights, including profiles of key figures such as Dr. Harold W. Tribble, President of Wake Forest College, and William H. Gibson, Director of Athletics. The program features in-depth coverage of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team, including player biographies, photographs, co-captain spotlights (Eddie Moore and George Johnson), and complete coaching staff profiles. Opposing team information is also provided for the University of Virginia, with rosters and player data. Additional content includes cheerleader and majorette portraits, a historical sketch of the college, detailed descriptions of the football program's legacy, and coverage of Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) officials. The program promotes the upcoming 1957-58 basketball season and includes numerous advertisements from regional and national sponsors such as Camel cigarettes, Hanes, RCA Victor, and Longines. Printed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina by the Wake Forest College Athletic Association.
