HOMECOMING ' 85 The Time of Your Life Homecoming 1985 was, as the theme said, The Time of Your Life. The spirit of MSU began Monday with the selling of cokes and the proceeds going to Dudy No- ble Field. Other activities included ice cream give-aways, luncheons, teas, and displays from various organizations. The biggest part of the celebration began on Friday night with the annual homecoming parade. The parade was followed by a spirit filled pep rally which featured the MSU cheerleaders, the famous Maroon Band and MSU mascot Bully. Later that evening a free concert was given by the Bus Boys at Five Points. The concert was attended by a large crowd of people. The Saturday morning events began early with golf tournaments, fun runs, and various open houses. The afternoon was filled with events and opportunities for Alumni to get reacquainted with old friends. The highlight of homecoming was the . football game and the crowning of the court. The game against Tulane proved to be an exciting one as MSU won 31-27 . with a crowd of 30,420 on hand. The court consisted of Leslie Conner as Homecoming Queen, Senior maid was Susan Randolph, Junior maid was Stephanie Ashmore, Sophomore maid was , Kim Thomason and Freshman maid was Amanda Condra.
