Alumni, Students Enjoy Sports, Court, and Activities The lights in the gym went out. A single spotlight split the darkness as the ravishing young women and handsome gentlemen, with excitement showing on their faces, stood ready. The underclass couples were an- nounced first, and then the senior candidates were introduced. Finally, the emcee revealed the names of the King and Queen to the cheers of the crowd, tears, and millions of camera flashes. Homecoming ' 89 was a time to welcome back alumni and to enjoy the many activities that happened. The classes that held reunions were El Monte campus ' 54, ' 59, ' 64, ' 69, ' 74, ' 79, and ' 84. Joan Malcolm, a 1969 graduate, stated, 1 had a wonderful time seeing old friends and seeing the development of the campus. This year an old tradition of having a King and Princes, along with the Queen and Prin- cesses was brought back to the Homecoming court. This added to the exuberance of the evening. The first couple to walk under the arched trellis was Freshman Princess Melissa Despain and Prince Jamie Coston. The Soph- omores were next: the honors went to Debby Gray and Gordon Hannon. Julie Perkins and Tad Barton of the Junior class graced the court with their presence. As the Senior candidates came into view. the excitement continued to mount. Candi- dates for Homecoming Queen were Gina Jarboe, Jana Frazier, Vondella Lammons, Ter- ry Vaughan, and Melody Lewis. Candidates for King included Chuck Kehoe, Scott Longwell, Sanjay Peacock, Jon Lothenore, and Randy Hanlin. The Seniors took their walk around the gym to the applause of friends and family. Finally, the moment ar- rived, and a hush fell over the capacity crowd as emcee Lori Jean Lothenore announced Randy Hanlin and Vondella Lammons as Vondella Lammons laughs in surprise as Karen White crowns her Homecoming Queen.

I was shocked and amazed. I thought they had called the wrong name! declared Vondella. Randy shared that, I thought there were others who deserved to win it more than I did. Karen White, last year ' s Queen, and her escort, Rodney Stutzman, presented to Vondella the tierra, a dozen roses and a plaque. Randy was presented with a placiue also and was given a sash to distinguish his honor. I ' m honored that this award was given to me by my peers, claimed Vondella Lammons, and Randy ex- pressed, I ' m still trying to figure out exactly what a Homecoming King is, but what ever the title entails, 1 am honored to have been chosen. Sports-wise, the weekend was mostly suc- cessful. The Lancer baseball team swept a double-header from Claremont-Mckenna College. It was disappointing night for the 28 STUDENT LIFE
