It All Began In '23.
The idea of homecoming dec
orations was inagurated by fra
ternity men and sorority women
in 1923, when Sigma Alpha Kpsi
lon won first place with a goal
post display decorated with Kan
ss and Nebraska colors. Since
1923, the affair has progressed
rapidly and the displays, tho
limited in cost to $25 are usually
quite elaborate and very often op
erated by an inlegiated mechan
ical system.

display that had a Missouri tiger,
gazing sourly at a pig behind the
goal posts. All-American Sam
