This year's bed race competition was a new activity which replaced the annual Homecoming Parade sponsored for the past eleven years. The Homecoming Parade was not held this year for several reasons, one being the immense cost it takes to pay for the meals and transportation of bands. Another great cost was that of building floats. This cost, along with the fact that constructing floats takes up much of a student's valuable time, discouraged many organizations from getting involved. Even without the parade. Homecoming was a success. The bed race competition made up for the lack of a parade. In the future, the beds may be decorated before the competition, so that they may be paraded down George Street in hopes that the community may also get involved. After the bed races came lunch, and then the Homecoming excitement continued as sports fans gathered in the crisp air to watch the football game at Biemsderfer Stadium. The Millersvillc Marauders gave the crowd a Homecoming victory by defeating the Kutztown Golden Bears by a score of 7-3. At halftime, Linda J. Dark, escorted by Tom Meals, became the 1985 Homecoming Charity Queen. Linda represented Kappa Beta, who donated $825.00 to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. First runner- Marauder quarterback.
