1987 Bethany College Homecoming Queen, Denise Fishburn, proudly accepts roses and the Homecoming Crown. During the weekend of October 9-11, alumni and students were reminded of the treasures of Beth- any and all gathered to attend the events that took place throughout the memorable three days. Friday night began with Greek and inde- pendent open houses to welcome back their alums and continued with a concert by The Produc- ers in the Alumni Field House. Saturday began bright and early with the Beta Theta Pi Dr. Kenney 5- K Memorial Run. The afternoon was filled with many athletic events ranging from Women ' s Volleyball, Field Hockey, Men ' s and Women ' s Soc- cer, and Bison Football. John Cunningham was honored during the day with the observance of the 20th anniversary of soccer at Bethany and his coaching career. Dr. Perry Gresham and his wife, Aleece, were also honored for their many years of con- tribution to Bethany. At halftime of the football game, Denise Fishburn, a communications major from Laurel Springs, NJ, was crowned Homecoming Queen 1987. At the an- nouncement of her name, the 3rd annual Phi Mu Bal- loon Ascension began. Over 600 balloons were launched from the field into the clear, blue sky. The evening ended with the Homecoming Dance in honor of the Queen and her court. Bethany students danced to the sounds of Modern Man. By the end of the weekend, the alumni had instilled in us, the stu- dents, their own devoted feelings toward Bethany and helped us appreciate our school even more.
