HOMECOMING 78 Homecomings ' Celebration was a weekend of fun and excitement for Elmhurst College from Thurs- day, October 19th through Sunday the 22nd. The beginning of the festivities began with the perfor- mance of the comedy musical, Celebration , at the Mill Theatre. Friday afternoon at 5:30 the pep rally began— the football team was introduced along with alumni and coaches. The school ' s annual Ca- sino Night , which is a modified version of Las Vegas, was held in the cafeteria on Friday night. The night was filled with poker, slot machines, roulette tables and Black-jack dealers. A disco band, Pezz Band , played in the main floor of the union for those disco- loving and those not-so-disco-lov- ing dancers.

HOMECOMING GAME The Jays ' first loss of the 1978 season which dropped their record to a 5-1 occurred at the Homecoming game on Saturday, October 21, 1978. The Blue Jays ' lost to Augustana 16 to 13 after having a 13 to 0 lead at half time. Two fourth quarter interceptions helped the Augus- tana Vikings with their score of 16 which led to their victory over the Jays. Alas, the large Homecoming crowd was dismayed, yet optimis- tic for the rest of the Jay ' s season. 24
