Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 25: November, 1928 After a week of gorgeous weather, Home-coming day on Saturday, Oc tober 13, was dull and a little cool. But it did not discourage many of those who had made their plans to come to Oberlin, for by noon the town was full of cars and the streets alive with people, half familiar, half strange. They were arriving from Boston, New York, Chicago, from Buf falo, Pittsburgh and Rochester, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Toledo and by the scores from nearer cities. The town was hung with flags and bunting in Oberlin's crimson and gold and Wooster's black and gold, and Welcome Alumni and Welcome Woos ter signs were everywhere. The real feature of the morning were the boarding house decorations which were judged at noon. The members of the various houses had been working on them since the dark hours of the morning, and anxiously scanning the skies for possible dam age. The silver cup went for the second time to Delta Lodge, who portrayed Oberlin's Aerial Attack, an Oberlin plane with roaring engine bombing the Wooster campus with a football bomb, having left Akron smoldering in ruins in the distance.
