 Homecoming is the time when Alumni, students and parents come together and enjoy the many exciting ac- tivities prepared for the campus. Although all of the ac- tivities during Homecoming weekend do not receive a large number of observers, they have fun anyway. Some of the events that occur are; Run Bike and Swim, the big football game and the Homecoming dance. Saturday morning students, faculty, and community participate in the famous Run Bike and Swim where the event includes a 1,000 meter run, 50,000 meter run. 1 3,000 meter bike race and an 800 or 900 meter run. The individuals that come in first place receive medals. In the afternoon, the crowd cheers on the Flying Dut- chmen to victory 28-0 over the Alma Scot . In spite of the cold, the crowd is able to continue the enthusiasm for the Flying Dutchmen. During the halftime activities the King and Queen of the Homecoming court are crowned. This year they were, Julie Bosch, a senior from Holland. Michigan, and Todd Holstege, a senior from Grand Rapids. Michigan. In addition, recognition is given to the sororities and fraternities that have the highest grade point averages overall. The Delta Phi sorority and Fmersonian fraternity became the 1982 recipients for the academic trophies. The success of the Beaux Art Ball (all campus dance) that evening, capped the entire Homecoming Weekend. 27
