Red and White. The Bears. The Parade. The Game. And the Parties. All the excitement was abound for Bridge- water ' s annual Homecoming celebration, held on October 14 to 19, 1985. Events were organized all during the week to charge up the student ' s spirit for the big day on Saturday by the Homecoming Committee, chaired by Dan Darcy, Second Vice President of the S.G.A. On Wednesday night, Hawaiian dance was sponsored by the Class of 1986 and the student rocked to the music played by DJ Paul Benitto. Friday was designated as Red and White Day as students wore red and white to display their strong support of the Bears. And to finish off an exciting week of events, the tradi- tional Homecoming dance with Girls Night Out was held in the Student Union Ballroom where the Home- coming King and Queen was Phi Pi Deltans cheer as the Parade time draws near. Putting on the finishing touches on their float are the hard work- ing members of the Phi Pi Delta Fraternity. 24 Student Life

On the Move! announced. The honors went to Steve DiClemente and Kathy White. Also held on Friday was the traditional Bonfire sponsored by the Sigma Chi Fraternity. The final day arrived for the Parade and the Game. The beginning of the day began with bright sunshine and clear skies as the students worked to put together their floats for the Parade. As the morning passed, the clouds darkened and rain began to pour. But, the volunteers never faltered; their spirit con- tinued even in the rain. The parade started on its route from the Grove Street Build- ing, around the Quadrangle in the town of Bridgewater and ended at Swenson Field, the site of the Homecoming game. The Big Game featured the Bears against Nichols College. The spirit roared as the Bears rose to the challenge in the drenching rain as they defeated Nichols. Even in the rain, the spirit of having a grand old time at Bridgewater State College dominated this year ' s Homecoming celebration. All smiles and laughter as the Program Committee ' s float rides through Bridgewater during the Homecoming Parade. 26 Student Life
