description

This official 1961 Wake Forest College Homecoming football program, issued for a game at Bowman Gray Stadium, provides a snapshot of collegiate athletics, student life, and institutional pride during the early 1960s. The program includes detailed profiles of Wake Forest administrators, coaches, and student-athletes, with a special focus on head coach Billy Hildebrand and team captain Chuck Reiley. It highlights the Demon Deacons' football roster and opposing team (University of Virginia), starting lineups, game-day traditions, cheerleaders, majorettes, and the Wake Forest band. Historical retrospectives on Wake Forest's transition from Wake County to its new Winston-Salem campus in 1956 are prominently featured. The program also includes coverage of the Deacon Club Foundation, athletic training staff, and upcoming basketball season, alongside a wide array of local advertisements from businesses in Winston-Salem and surrounding areas.
