At the 78th Baylor Homecoming, the game was but one of the dozens of activities on the agenda. On Wetlnesdziy night, freshmen gathered for the annual Mass Meeting at the Marina. The meeting, along with the other major festivities, was overseen by the Baylor Chamber of Commerce, who began planning the events as early as April. Speakers included President Reynolds, who delivered the traditional story of the Immortal Ten, Dr. Rosalie Beck of the religion department and Neal Knight- on, area director of development. At the conclusion of the Thursday night Pigskin Revue performance, Missy Yeary was crowned Homecoming queen, The following evening was crowded with both Pigskin and the BonfirefPep Rally at Fountain Mall. The Baylor Line built the fire, using a Volk- swagen Beetle to make the fire distinct from those of previous years. A fireworks display was also added to the ceremony. Zachariah Bobo served as Grand Marshal of the parade on Saturday morning. After the Bears suffered a 24-O loss to the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs, fans let loose at the final event of the week, the Extravaganza Dance at the Suspension Bridge. The dance has always been my favorite part of the week, said Meshell Brinkman, a senior AISXISY major from Temple. 'iAfter being dressed up and stuffy all day, the dance gives you an opportunity to just cut loose. While the week was definitely a celebration, it stopped short of being all play and no work for more than a few campus organizations. The administration and Alumni Association worked many hours to ensure the success of the activities. More than a dozen receptions were held honoring various groups returning to campus. The yell leaders and songleaders put in extra hours to participate in all the events, and the Golden Wave Band worked between six and eight hours to learn a new routine for the half-time performance. Lillian Spink, a junior from Waco and a first year member of the band, commented, Sometimes it's hard to be in the band, es- pecially during Homecoming when everyone is with their dates but it's the band as well as other groups that make Homecoming suc- cessfulf' , , , 11llIIli'i'f17!lfflg
