An unusually large number of returning alumni made the 13X5 weekend particularly memorable. On Friday night, the tradition of Horseplay was celebrated after a one year break. In the past, fraternities and social clubs had performed skits; this year, however, FUSA presented The American Dance Machine, a group of talented dancers who exposed the audience to Broadway musical selections from Brigadoon and Carousel. After Horseplay, there was a fireworks display by the lake, followed by more musical entertainment in the Student center. At the drop-in downstairs, State of Mind, featuring Gregg Gardner, was reunited with alumnus Joel Powers. Burgtss Lounge featured the talent of Penny P nkuS, who was the warm up smger for Kyle Matthews and State of Shock, a group formed especially for the Homecoming weekend. Students working on floats celebrated on the mall late into the night. Strong winds frustrated the efforts of some, but the creativity of the Furman Singers was not inhibited, as they took first prize for the seventh time. Homtiominf 15

The stadium was flacked by kick-off time and a highly sflirited crowd cheered the Paladins to alt-7 victory over Aflfl. State. The h ghbght came at halftime with the traditional presentation of the court and the crowning of this year's gueen, Leslie Shamrock. The parents of senior football players were also honored at this time. Finally, the anxiously awaited evening all dag came to pass. After dining at some of Greenville s finest restaurants, couples made their way to one of several fraternity alumni receptions, or to dance the night away at the FUSAB dance, held on campus. FUSAB did a great job decorating the dining hall, and The Maxx provided some excellent dance tunes. The evening was idyllic and enjoyed in a special way. Homecoming was one of the highlights of the year — perhaps the return of alumni proud of the heritage of their Alma Mater was the key. Whatever it was, Homecoming 13d5 was a treasured occasion.
