The Tradition Continues Homecoming and Parent's Weekend are two events which are always anxiously awaited. Because they fall on the same weekend, stu- dents are especially busy. They clean their rooms and leave a few tests with excellent grades lying on their desk. After all is tidy, they pace the floor until there is a knocking at the door. The door opens and the student says, Mom ... Dad, you're here early!” This year's homecoming cere- mony was held on the Campus Center Plaza. Students and their parents were greeted by the music of D E's very own Jazz Choir, “ALL THAT JAZZ. Following the musical saluta- tion our student body president, Mark Vermette, welcomed all par- ents to the college. He then initi- ated the crowning ceremony by in- troducing Mr. Mrs. Ted Frantz, co-chairmen of the D E Parent's Association ,;who presented a bou- quet of flowers to each princess and pinned a boutineer on each escort. The princesses and escorts were as follows: Freshman Carol Ignatieff and Larry Rodgers; Sophmore Christi Nidiffer and Bill Steinitz; Junior Leah Zullinger and Bill Cahn; Senior Gena Norwood and Jon Morrison. The 1987 Miss D E was Stephanie Masters and Mr. Senator was Bill Nicodemus. 14 HOMECOMING '87 | Mr. Senator: Bill Nicodemus Miss D E: Stephanie Masters
