HOMECOMING Homecoming is a special weekend during which Hope alumni can enjoy luncheons, athletic events, and the company of old friends. Hot only is Homecoming an im- portant event for alumni, but it's a busy and exciting weekend for students as well. Many special activities were planned for this weekend. In addition to cheering on the Flying Dutchmen football team and watching the crowning of the Homecom- ing King and Queen, students could at- tend an all-campus dance, participate in the traditional Homecoming parade, com- pete in the Run-Bike-Swim Triathalon and much, much more. Homecoming 1988 was celebrated the weekend of September 14th-16th. On Saturday afternoon. The Flying Dutchmen football team didn't disappoint the enthu- siastic crowd who gathered at the Holland Municipal Stadium to enjoy the warm, sun- ny weather and the Homecoming Festivi- ties. The Flying Dutchmen emerged victo- rious, crushing the Kalamazoo Hornets by a score of 17 to 7. During half-time, Joel Tanis and Kristen Yeomans were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. Homecoming 1988 will linger in the memories of all those who attended. They say Home is where the heart is. For many Hope College alumni and students, Hope occupies a very special place in their hearts and will always feel like home. As Pete Shearer looks on.

DORE-META-SO-LA-TI-DO All Warmed Up And Ready To Go! IN CONCERT The All-College Sing, which occu- red Friday, November 18th, in the DeWitt Theater, provided an op- portunity for students to partici- pate in a vocal singing competi- tion. Unlike Air Jam - which was held April 7th, 1989 - the All-Col- lege Sing was a test of true vocal ability rather than a lip-sync con- test. Students formed their own groups and then spent many long hours rehearsing their selected numbers in order to polish their performances. Surprisingly, many groups chose to sing well-known songs from past decades, such as the 50 s and 60 s, rather than cur- rent hits. Showing their support for this event, many fraternities and sororities took part in the competi- tion. Rondell Sheridan, a profes- sional comedian hired by SAC, served as a hilarious master of cer- emonies. After a very entertaining night of song, dance, and laughter, Rondell announced the Delta Phi Soroity as the winner of the com- petition, for the second year in a row'. Their name will be engraved on the All-College Sing Plaque, which is displayed in the Mykcrk Hall of Music. Kirk VandcrMolcn led the Praters in their rendition o( My Girl. Activities
