An afternoon of fun, sun, and sports made the 1987 Homecoming A Day To Remember by Lisa Olson The sun came up on Saturday. October 10 ready to shine full force on our campus. Shine it did. as the Homecoming Alumni Day got underway. Despite disappointment on the athletic end. it was evident that everyone — past, present, and hopefully future generations of Millersville students — had a great day. One of the most exciting parts of the day was the crowning of our Charity Queen, the various sororities, fraternities, and campus organizations each selected a representative and the students donated money to her cause, resulting in a generous donation to charity. This year's winner was Heidi Lahm. representing the Delta Phi Eta sorority. Over two thousand dollars of the money raised will go to her requested charity. The Clare House in Lancaster. The crowning of the Queen and the presence of the other contestants helped to brighten the already sunny day. On the sports side of Homecoming was a tough loss by the football team and a tie by the field hockey team. The Marauders lost a grueling game to Mansfield by a score of 13-3. The tough defensive game was a battle to the end. There was no score in the field hockey game against Catholic University that day. but the game was definitely dominated by the Lady Marauders who had 54 shots on goal. A bright spot for the day was the win by the Ma- rauders soccer team. Supported by the cheerleaders and an enthusiastic crowd, the team defeated the nationally ranked Shippens-burg team 2-1. Homecoming was also a day for bed races and touring the campus, and a night for dancing and celebrating various personal and school victories. Whatever the activity, it was great to see the MU unity that helped make Homecoming 1987 a success. Heidi Lahm Is joined by Dr. Caputo and her escort.
