Fun, Fun, Fun! Homecoming Week The week of Homecoming is always an exciting part of the year and this year was no exception. This year's theme was the roaring 20's. Even though most students weren't around during the era, they were still able to duplicate the styles effectively. As always, the Memorial Student Center was an active place throughout the week. Various competitions were organized by the homecoming committee. The guys enjoyed the pizza eating and the pie eating contests while the girls chose to watcn. A new twist was added to this year's events — the Toilet Bowl. Greeks and non-Greeks alike competed in such competitions as the egg toss and flag football. The two teams that made it to the finals were the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity and the GDI's (a group of non-Greek students). In the end, the Alpha Sig's were the winners of the pizza party and the Toilet Bowl trophy. Homecoming week ended with a parade complete with floats and a bonfire Friday evening.

Anticipation! Coles awaits the announcement of the Homecoming Queen with her brother. The Fun Doesn't End Saturday's Game Wide receiver Mike Barber set a record in the number of yards passing during the game, and Mike Beasley, a wide receiver from Cincinnati, OH, scored the first touchdown of his college career. Many students, however, could have cared less about the football game. Instead, they were interested in knowing who would be the 1987 Homecoming Queen. During halftime, the suspense ended. Sheryl Coles, Charleston senior, received the crown from last year's queen, Sheila Day Mullarky. Also, the halftime activities included the first Mr. Marshall to be elected. Kenny Green, Huntington junior, received that honor. Green, who also played for the Herd, escorted Ms. Coles off the field. Elation! Coles is 1987 Homecoming Queen and Kenny Green is voted Mr. Marshall.
