But the disappointment soon gave way to celebration as the Lancers overcame a fifteen-point first-half deficit and won the game in overtime by a score of 73- 66. Michael Banks was quoted in the Feb- ruary 24, 1989 issue of The Banner as saying, We won a big game. The crowd was really great. After the game, the Athletic Depart- ment, the Alumni Association, and the Ad- missions Department sponsored a pizza feed, and there was a victory bonfire where two dilapidated couches from Smith Hall were thrown onto the blaze. All in all, the Homecoming festivities at Cal Baptist this year were quite memorable, from the class reunions and Guild Country Fair to the announcement of the 1989 King and Queen. Alumni Curt Estel and his wife, Vi, commented Everything ran really well and we think everyone involved had a great time being here. HOMECOMING PREVIEW DAYS 29

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

Concert, Activities Keep Students Busy Once again, Cal Baptist played host for a weekend to hundreds of prospective students and parents at Preview Days. Preview Days 1989 were filled with many activities for the visitors, from seminars to sports. Preview Days were held in conjunction with Homecoming on February 17-18, 1989. There were over 450 prospective students in attendance. Most of these guests arrived Thursday night and had a chance to expe- rience dorm life first hand. One girl stated, I had a good time staying in my fnend ' s room, having a roommate, and having community bathrooms. A.S. hosted a welcoming bon- fire pep rally Thursday night that drew about 200 people. The fire really got people out and got things rolling for the entire week- end, reported pyrotecnnician Steve Pen- niitgton. Friday morning began with an opening session in the gym and an introduction to campus life, as well as a tour of our campus. The prospective students also attended a chapel service. A barbeque lunch in Harden Square highlighted the noon hour. After lunch, the afternoon was free for classroom visitation, or for volleyball and oozeball. Oozeball was great! 1 got filthy! exclaimed Kyle Sutherland from Petaluma. Everyone was looking forward to the main event of the day, the Bryan Duncan concert. Lines started forming around 6:00 p.m. By 7:45, the gym was full. Rick Muchow opened for Duncan with some songs and choruses. Bryan started his show vrith Whistlin ' in the Dark. The concert was a success, despite some technical sound, problems. Everything else was flawless at the concert, declared AS president Steve Berzansky. The conclusion of Preview Weekend came on Saturday when the visitors had time to relax and look around on their owm. Capping it all off was the basketball game against Fresno Pacific College. Becky Llewellyn of Loomis, California, commented, I had a lot of fun. Meeting people and seeing the cam- pus was great. 1 look forward to coming here. • -SL Three Preview Day gueits ukc a rest oii the bench near Fortuna Saturday after- noon.
