For fun, warmth, and school spirit Nothing beats Homecoming week The highlight of the fall semester, 1986-87, was the annual Homecoming festivities which began in mid-week with the traditional parade from the campus through downtown Mur- freesboro. The residence halls, and other groups, prepared humorous, colorful and unusual floats to cultivate enthusiasm and school spirit prior to the football classic. The parade group formed in the parking lot of Camp Hall and proceeded along a route down Main Street, and then returned to Helms Center for the bonfire ceremonies The evening before Homecoming Day, members of the Homecoming Court, and their escorts, were honored at a din- ner and reception in the President ' s Dining Room of Thomas Cafeteria. Bright, warm sunshine saturated the campus on Saturday and many high school bands performed in Braves Stadium to compete for honors and the opportunity to perform prior to the football game and during halftime ceremonies and corona- tion activities. Miss Michelle Isles received the crown as Homecoming Queen from Miss Lane Windham, the 1985 Queen, and Miss Lisa Mayo was selected as Freshman Princess, The special weekend concluded with a Homecoming Dance in Lakeside Student Center, when students, guests and friends celebrated the successful week and the Braves ' victory over the Potomac State Catamounts.

W ' T Graduates Come Home It ' s October 18th at the Braves Stadium field at halftime of the Chowan- Potamac game. After an exciting week of show- ing spirit in every way. everyone was anxious for the final decision. The drum rolls as the crowd holds their breaths. The 1986-87 Homecoming Queen is Michelle isles. Representing the sophomore class were Kim Lovell, Cheryl Graham, Alicia Dunbar and Michelle Isles. Chosen for the Freshman court were Kim Daily, Lisa Mayo, Elaine Fala and Rachael Rhodes. When I was elected to the Homecoming Court, I felt both honored and happy, but I was a little nervous, being on the court was a proud position for me, said Kim Lovell. Later that evening the Annual Homecoming Dance was held in the Lakeside Student Center. Magic flowed through the air, and couples crowded the dance floor. As midnight ap- proached, the Student Center slowly lost life, and the people faded away. But the night was just beginning. There were dorm parties to go to and private room parties to attend. We were up all night partying until six o ' clock the next morning, said Wilbert Camber. Homecoming Day, Dance: an evening to remember. 7 : ' i At left, top— Michelle Isles is crowned as the 1986 Homecom- ing Queen by Lane Windham, last year ' s recipient.
