A Special Honor PARENT ' S WEEKEND Parent ' s Weekend arrived this year on Friday, October 16, 1987. The weekend was the first time that many rats had seen their parents since that fateful first day in August, and for upperclass cadets it was a time to take a break from the usual week- end routine and take time out to enjoy a weekend with their parents. For parents, the weekend was a chance for them to check up on their son. visit his classes, and to take in a football game. The annual weekend gives parents a chance to obtain a rare view of VMI life without having to actually be a cadet. They listen to their cadet gripe about life at the and hope- fully cheer him up before the weekend is over. Friday of Parent ' s Weekend there was a reception at the superintendent ' s home for new cadets and their families. Saturday offered the opportunity for parents to sit in on classes, and to see the corps in a formal parade. Following the parade, there were pre-game tailgate parties, and then at 2 p.m. the Big Red football team squared off against against the nationally ranked Dukes of James Madison University. The Dukes downed the Keydets 20-17 in a hard fought contest. Following the game, many cadets returned to their hotels with their parents or headed uptown to enjoy a good meal at their parent ' s expense. Sunday evening came all too soon, however, and cadets bid their parents farewell and re- turned joyously to the Institute with full food boxes and a renewed desire to learn. The Kcydcls entertained the Parent ' s Weekend crowd with a thrilhng battle against .IML (above right). The crowd was entertained at haiftime by the James Madison Marching Dukes and the lovely Du- kettes (right)
