Alumni Weekend As the leaves around campus grew old and began to cover the ground with their famil- iar autumn colors, Milligan H College celebrated another homecoming. October 23rd through the 25th was the official Alumni Week- end this past year. Former students of all ages converged on our hilly campus to recall the good old days, as well as share in the excitement of today ' s cam- pus life. The weekend was highlighted by a va- riety of activities for both the athletic and nostalgic. These events included the an- By Laura Bennett nual Alumni 5K Run, an alumni-student flag football game, various class recep- tions, and an alumni banquet. Some students already knew several of the visiting alumni. Others enjoyed meeting the people who had lived in the same dormroom or shared the same post office box. Still others were primarily concerned with getting in a good game of football. Undoubtedly, though, by the time the weekend was over, students had a better understanding of just how strong the tie is that binds the hearts of Milligan students, both today and yes- terday. f Photo by Julie Pirkl Photo by RonnAnn Naedele The Alumni Banquet was enjoyed by all who attended.

Photo by Aimee Fanes The Popular Place to be The 1987-88 school year was very exciting at the McMa- hon Student Center because all of the facilities were able US to be utilized by the stu- dents. The grill and snackbar served by the students who were not satisfied by the edibles presented by the cafeteria. A large screen television adjacent to the snackbar created a great place to eat and watch The Cosby Show One of the best aspects of the new Student center was the recreation room. This added feature enabled students to find entertainment on campus between By Beth Wolfe study sessions. The nurse ' s office was installed at this convenient location. Now students can receive throat clu- tures as they study or play games. The study areas provided a comfort- able atmosphere for students to do homework. Couches were installed to create a home-like atmosphere. The McMahon Student Center proved to be a great asset to the Milligan College campus. It provided students with a place to eat, play and study. Jill Baker rings up a purchase for Keri Duncan at the bookstore. 8-Ball spends his free time in the recreation room.
