Homecoming is more than Made in Chattanooga, it’s also the 50 year reunion for the University of Chattanooga Class of 1963. To celebrate, we bring you some images from 1963’s Homecoming festivities. Go Mocs!
In the Fall of 1962, Judy Coppinger was crowned Homecoming Queen, but the Moccasin neglects to tell us who her king was.

The Greeks celebrated Homecoming by decorating their houses. Special Collections’ choice for the best decorations: Kappa Signma. Check out our mascot in the pre-Scrappy days!

According the the October 18, 1962 , UC played Middle Tennessee State for the Homecoming game, but neither the yearbook nor the Echo tells us if the Mocs won the game. For that information, we consulted the Chattanooga Daily Times on microfilm. According to the Sunday, October 21, 1962 issue, the Mocs beat the Raiders 34-13.
