Indians Give Their Best ... With a feeling of celebration in the air. Homecoming festivi- ties at McMurry College offi- cially began as teepees began to spring up in Wah Wahtaysee Park. This marked the begin- ning of two days filled with fun. frolic, and celebration. The campus was filled with exes and hundreds of other visi- tors who came to see the dis- play of teepees that had been set up to represent each fraternity and sorority. Other homecoming activities in- cluded the pep-rally which was held outside of Radford and was fo'lowed by a lighted torch pro- cession to Old Indian Gym. Al- though the night was bitterly cold, many showed up to the pep- rally as well as the bonfire, which was held the following night after the Homecoming Show where the recipients of Chief and Princess McMurry title were announced. This year the honor went to Greg Hawthorne and Suzan Collins. The celebration continued with the football game on Saturday, which unfortunately resulted in a loss for the Indians. Everything came to an end with the Home- coming dance which was held in the Mabee Room. AcuviiJe» — 23
