The responsibility that accompanied this honor is almost as magnifi- cent as the joy that I felt. Yet, long after the emotion and feeling from this Homecoming wore away, the memories of love and the presence of God ' s joy have been everlasting. P Queen ' s photo by S. Wiese. Photos below by .

Looking beyond beauty Queen and court were noticed for inner-beauty I. .t was Thursday, October 17th, 1985 at 7:30 p.m. The scene was that of a Southern plantation porch surrounded by a garden. The event was the coronation of a new Homecoming Queen based on the beauty described in I Peter 3:4. Your beauty should be . . . that of your inner self, the unfading beau- ty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God ' s sight. The evening began with prayer by Betsy Norris, Women ' s Residents Association President and the singing of Father ' s Eyes by Cyndi Larson. Following this song, the emcee for the evening, Professor Don Toland, introduced the candidates. As these ladies entered in beautiful white gowns with the class presidents and the ASG president as their escorts, they were welcomed by young girls who shared a kiss and presented two red roses to the candidates. The ladies then greeted the crowd with smiles as they walked around the runway to the voices of their fathers sharing special thoughts about their daughters ' lives. When each candidate had been intro duced, Reverend Tom Sikes sang to the court Never be the Same. Then Miriam Reeder, the 1984 Homecoming Queen, was in- troduced. The grand finale came and the Queen was announced. The first lady of Olivet, Mrs. Lora Lee Parrott, read, The 1985 Homecoming Queen is Miss Teresa Ulmet. The 1985 Coronation was a love- ly time of honoring five beautiful ladies. Even though not everything went perfectly, overall the evening went great and the Women ' s Residents Association Council was relieved and thrilled that their hard work had paid off. Q (B.

Everyone ' s a winner Both fans and athletes enjoy homecoming he weekend of October 18th through the 20th, a very exciting event took place on our campus, Homecoming 1985. Homecoming has always been, and will continue to be, one of the major events of the year. For the students, Homecoming was full of busy happenings. It meant the coronation of a new Queen and her court, the special Fri- day morning chapel service, an op- portunity to cheer at the basketball, soccer, and football games, concerts , the outdoor barbecue in Snowbarger Athletic Park, and a 5-kilometer run through the campus. Homecoming was also a time for families and alumni to visit. Every five years classes gather for reunions and reminisce about their Alma Mater. Whatever the reason for being at Homecoming 1985, the spirit and pride of our college was felt and shared. V The Olivet cheerleaders prepare for a mount with help from the yell-leaders. Their cheer- ing was always successful in bringing out spirit from the students. Photo by ]. Springer Coach Richardson explains the strategy to his players.
