description

The 1962 Wake Forest College Homecoming Football Program is a publication commemorating the matchup between Wake Forest and Duke University, held at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The program not only highlights the players, coaches, and game-day lineup, but also serves as a promotional and historical artifact reflecting collegiate sports culture in the early 1960s. It opens with a historical sketch of Wake Forest College, emphasizing the institution's move to Winston-Salem and the legacy of founder Samuel Wait. Profiles of university leadership, athletic staff, and student-athletes follow, offering insight into their careers and contributions. Coach Billy Hildebrand and his assistant coaches, including notable figures like Pat Peppler and Beattie Feathers, are prominently featured. Team rosters, biographies, and photographs of both Wake Forest and Duke squads are provided alongside promotional advertisements, ACC rules updates, and a statement on physical fitness that reflects Cold War-era American values. The program also celebrates Wake Forest's academic-athletic scholarship program and alumni community, underscoring the school's educational mission. It is both a game-day guide and a snapshot of institutional identity, student life, athletic pride, and mid-century commercial sponsorship.
