Homecoming is a time for all generations of the Muhlenberg family to come together, and that certainly was the case last Friday.
While on campus for her 50th Reunion, Louise (Niebaum) Bogan met with current members of the Mule field hockey team on Friday morning, showed them a slide show, and then attended their game on Friday night.
Louise Niebaum was a member of the 1959 and 1960 field hockey teams – the first two at Muhlenberg. The 1959 team won all four of its games without giving up a goal. The next year, Muhlenberg again went undefeated, with a record of 5-0-1.
The program did not lose a game until its fifth season of existence and helped establish the winning tradition of Muhlenberg field hockey. In 52 seasons of play entering this season, the Mules had a winning percentage of .605.
Click the link below to view the slideshow. Of particular note in the old pictures are the hairstyles (of course), the uniforms, the sticks and the cars around the field (Muhlenberg played its first games on what is now the site of Trexler Library). Things have changed quite a bit in the last 50 years!
That slideshow and many others [http://gallery.me.com/dougmacgeorge ]were produced for the 50th Golden Aniv. of the Class of 1961 only because of the cooperation of Archivist Diane Koch of the Trexler Library and the Public Relations Dept. of our great college
