Rain dampened another big event, but it could not drown the spirit of those who came to see old friends and remember old times during Homecoming . fnot snow, then rain should plague Homecom- ing activities, or any Lips- comb big event for that matter. Just after battling the rain during Inauguration, Lips- comb had to contend with another day of downpours during Homecoming. This was the second year for Homecoming to be held during the fall quarter, since snow had plagued the occasion in the year before, keeping alumni safe and warm in their hometowns. However, the rain seemed to bring almost the same ef- fect this Homecoming, even though the temperatures were unseasonably warm. Members of the queen’s court wait beside the bleachers before their pro- cessional and introduction. 2 Homecoming ‘86 Despite the rain, many parents, alumni, and stu- dents did attend the festivi- ties which included a vari- ety of performances, reunions, and presenta- tions. Class and departmental reunions began at 8 o'clock. Then, after a spe- cial chapel service, the Da- vid Lipscomb College A Cappella Singers, Chorale, and Freshman Chorus per- formed in the Willard Col- lins Alumni Auditorium. Early that afternoon in McQuiddy Gym, Lips- comb’s Concert Band and director Steve Rhodes fur- ther entertained the Home- coming crowd. Homecoming Queen Kaye Hendrix receives a “‘token of appreciation’ from Chris Martello, who represented the Bison basketball team. Dr. Eddie Thompson, master of ceremonies, in- troduced the President’s Ten, who are appointed to lead their class in bringing in donations for the school. This year’s Ten were Teb Batey, Jeff Binkley, Cayce Chumley, Beth Claxton, Jenni Dixon, Leslie Pender- grass, Jimmy McCollum, Ty Osman, Allison Woodson, and Greer Yeldell. Thomp- son also presented the Alumnus of the Year, Jerry Reynolds, and the 1986 Representatives of the De- cades. These representa- tives included alumni of the 1910’s and 1920's. The Coronation Pageant began as the queen’s court were introduced. These were Luciann Acuff, Jeff Binkley, May Jones, Chad Boyd, Vonda Taylor, Jeff Dale, Harolyn Brasher, and Bryan Underwood, At-Large attendants and escorts; Lisa Caldwell, Brian Hall, Jenni Dixon, Stan Ferqu- son, Vivian Richardson, and Greer Yeldell, Senior atten- dants and escorts; Kelly Pauley and Rush Holladay, Junior attendant and es- cort; Kim Anderson and Derek Crownover, Sopho- more attendant and escort; and Jodie Bembry and Blake Parker, Freshman at- tendant and escort.

24 Homecoming Homecoming, cont. President Hazelip crowned his first Lipscomb Homecoming Queen. She was Kaye Hendrix, a senior art major, president of the Delta Sigma social club, and a member of Alpha Chi National Honor Scholarship Society. She thought it was spe- cial to be crowned by the new president. “I miss Brother Collins, of course, but starting something new with the new president was really special,’’ Kaye stated. Being Homecoming Queen was a real honor, but she never would have run for it, if it hadn’t been for some friends. “| probably wouldn't have done it if friends hadn't gotten the petition up for me,’’ Kaye said. “They encouraged me.” “| consider it a great hon- or, but I felt that it was more of a compliment from my EVERY O0u RUMBLE friends and those who vot- ed for me.” The Homecoming ball- game followed the corona- tion. The Bisons played Tusculum in the packed gym, beating the Pioneers 114-92. One of the most special moments came before the coronation ceremony when Dr. Dennis Loyd unveiled a bronze portrait bust in memory of John C. Hutche- son, Jr., one of the most widely respected and loved teachers at the college, who died of cancer last April. Continued ...

With a backdrop of social club spirit posters, the band plays the proces- sional music for the queen and her court.
