The Home- coming Gala was very impres- sive. lt was really swell to see my friends performing on stage. The Crala consisted of not only Bisonettes, Bison Glee Club, and Chorale, but also the duo known as i'Class, profes- sors Marilyn Wood and Jim Brown. One of the highlights of Sat- urday's events was the dedica- tion of both and Jent Alumni Center and the Williamson Nursing Education Center. The day was a series of reunions and luncheons. Later that after- noon, the student body along with alumni and the new cheer- leaders, cheered on the Bison and Lady Bison to victory against Arkansas Baptist Col- lege. After a week of anticipation, students filed into Raley Chapel for the annual Harvest Festival. As candidates for Harvest Court walked down the aisle, Steve Thomas read their biog- raphies. Then, Brent Thomp- son, student government repre- sentative, relieved everyones suspense when he read Paula Paschall's name as the Harvest Queen. Finally, the week's festivities concluded with an Alumni Musical Showcase hosted by faculty member Jim Brown and alumnus Darrel Baergen. The featured performer was pianist Max Lyall, faculty mem- ber from Golden Gate Semi- nary.
