1974: Fine autumn weather had combined with savory memories to produce “one of the best homecoming celebrations” in Eastern New Mexico’s 40-year history, the Clovis News-Journal reported.

The gathering attracted notables that included Eastern’s first president — Donald Mackay — and first football coach, Tiny Reed.

Outstanding alumni honored included Terry Cone of Portales, a certified public accountant.
