..-..,,'.. ' ., x Tradition Symbolizes Augustana Homecoming AnticipatTon and excitement; comrad- arie and competTton; refTectTon and rene- wal - Homecoming 1983 had Tt alT. Tt wasa time for students to experience the tire- less Autumn thuaT, and for alumni to remember that 'Those Were the Days. The homecoming spTthwas ignited earTv in the week as the college center was deci orated in a sea of blue and gon, Theh VI was down to the slough for the first of the traditional activitTes, the canoe races. The event was spared the inclement weather experienced the veat before, and the slough proved nawgable for even the most hopeless partichant. The YelT competition was 11er in a new, and Iastminute Tocation this year, but the Spirit in Carver was just as high as Tt might have been at Ehcson Had, The crowd was pf stched UD tor the game by a line up of clever cheers. The rope puH competwtion folTowed. and the bonfire capped off the evening. For many, the symbol of Augustana Homecoang is the Coronation cermonv. This year, as aTways. the atmosphere was an elegant combmation of ritual and music as the VI-King and Queen were crowned to the straihs 0f the alma mater. The parade and game were held on one of the most beautiful days Tn years, as the Vikings proved themselves worthy of the boasting tone written on each float, beat- ing MiIIiKin handily. All in am, it was a week for living out the trathTOHS that bind us to each Other and to Old Augie. .- y C 1983 Homecoming Court - Row 1: Dave Nerd, Juhe Lundtt Vi-King Bob Barnes, DarneT Pawless, Craig Cmiell SueStuart, Lisa Magedlih, Don Wanner, Sue Patterson Kent GTadish.
