The Music and Communication Departments combined to present two outstanding performances of The Music Man. Full houses were on hand to witness each show. Reunions took place all over Searcy throughout the weekend as friendships were rekindled and trips down Memory Lane were commonplace. The focus of everyone's attention turn- ed toward Alumni Field later in the after- noon as the Bisons were playing host to the University of Arkansas at Monticello Boll Weevils. The Bisons were playing in their 27th annual Homecoming clash. Harding fell behind early in the game but fought back to within one point at 21-20 with: 54 left in the game, but Man- nie Lowery was forced out of bounds as Harding was trying a two-point conver- sion. We made too many mistakes in the game, head coach John Prock said after the game. We did not capitalize on the scoring opportunities that we had in the game. As Sheryl Latimore, a junior from Memphis, reigned as the Homecomin queen, over 6,000 were in attendance to the ballgame, making it one of the large crowds in recent history. Also serving on the court with Latimor was Sandra Garner, a junior from Green ville, 111., and Kellee Citty, a senior fro Searcy, Ark. Special groups who came together wet the class of 1935, which was celebratin their 50th anniversary, and the class 0 1960, coming together for their 25th re union. With a near perfect weekend 0 weather, Homecoming 1985 was indee A Musical Weekend. m Bison on the run!
