AVILA HOMECOMING 1987 Memorable Weekend Dear Journal: SUNDAY: Oh! My aching bones. I ended homecoming weekend by ploying flog football this after- noon Residence Hall Association sponsored a game between Corondelet and Ridgway. I don ' t know who won — we kind of forgot to keep score. It was a game my body will long remem- ber! SATURDAY: I went to the soccer gome of 2 o ' clock and watched the guys beat Lindenwood. Then I proceeded to Mabee Fieldhouse to see the Volleyball team win marches against William Jewell ond Horris-Stowe. I got bock to my room to shower ond dress by 7:30 just in rime for my dote ond I to leave for dinner. We went to this really elegant restaurant before the homecoming dance. Remem- bering proper table etiquette was difficult, we hod become so ac- custom to eoting with our hands of McDonald ' s ond Pizza Hut (the not so elegont restaurants). We arrived ot the dance o little after 9:30 pm. It was held ot Em- bassy Suites on the Plozo. When we walked in the joint was jump- ing. The donee was put on by Student Union Board. With the theme being Until the Clock Strikes Twelve, the decorations consisted of o cosfle ond silver clouds ond stars with o lit replico of Big Ben hanging from the ceiling. Director of Student Development, Gory Morgan, wos our D.J., ploy- ing tunes from the 40 ' s to the 60 ' s. We donced ourselves ragged. FRIDAY: A group of us got togeth- er ond went to see the home- coming production Solt Water Moon . It wos about on 18 year old guy, Jocob Mercier who re- turns to his native home just in rime to woo his former love, Mory Snow, who is about to marry. THURSDAY: I went to the bon-fire that RHA sponsored behind Mabee Fieldhouse. There were a lot of students there, both resi- dents and commuters. It reminded me of o Peanuts cartoon where Charlie Brown and the gong were comping out, gathered around the fire roosting marshmallows, re- flecting on life and enjoying their contentment. — Patrick Wood Jacob Mercier (Tom DeDoker) enlightens Mory Snow (Francesco Poscolini) on the structure of the constellations os she looks on with interest.
