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.

They stick by us through thick and thin and its time to say Thank You For Being A Friend ------------by Tracey Short----------- College has always been thought of as a social situation. For all students, it provides a chance to meet and make new friends. Some students come to the 'ville knowing many and some came knowing no one. Not knowing anyone is often hard for many to adjust to. but some new students enjoy the opportunity to become acquainted with new individuals. After coming to M.CJ. and knowing no one here, sophomore J. P. Cardos said I felt pretty good. I wanted to meet a whole new bunch of people.” However, most students remain in contact with their friends at home. Freshman Beth Shoenfelt thinks that her friends from home are closer to her than her friends at Millersville because the people at home know more about her and her life. Freshman Stacy Chicton feels closer to her friends at Millersville because of the necessity to have someone close by to talk to. Many different people come to college with different values and tastes. These differences give everyone the chance to make new friends and develop new interests. Almost everyone is able to find at least one person that he or she can relate to and be friendly with. Many social situations are present at school. Everyday there are classes to attend, meetings for clubs or sports, or parties to go to. These activities enable students to interact with others. Even ordinary situations, such as eating lunch or watching TV with your roommate provide a social experience. Many students came to Millersville already having a boyfriend or girlfriend from home. Distance often makes the relationship hard, but most students feel that it makes the times they can spend together with that special someone more meaningful.'lts like having my cake and eating it too. said freshman Susan Massarini. I can have fun here without him and fun when I'm with him. But some find the distance very hard. Junior D. J. Michaels feels that being apart makes you more independent and stronger, but you better yourself so that when you are finally together you will be able to give 100%. Many students have romantic relationships with other students here at Millersville. There's no distance and no restraints on the relationship at school. Sophomore Tony Malatesta said being close makes it easier because you can see her a lot more and spend more time with her.” Meeting friends is what college is all about, but most students keep friendships with people from home. Sometimes romances develop, but sometimes students date people from other schools. On the whole, most Millersville students agree that this campus has a friendly atmosphere. All a student has to do is go out and look — the opportunity to meet new people is always there. 24 • friends
