The Stars Shine Through After a successful Homecoming-Spirit Week, Homecoming night began with an introduction of the 51 varsity football and manager’s parents. A word of appreciation was then extended to returning alumni, prior to the beginning of the game. For the first time in recent years the 1987 Homecoming Court was introduced during half-time. The excitement of the night peaked with the crowning of Sandra Sloa n, as the 1987 Homecoming Queen. Half-time activities also included performances by the John Carroll Band and the marching Troubadours. A little extra fun was added as Senior band members marched in colorful “Jams.” The annual fire-baton routine was displayed during the “‘50’s Medley” which proceeded the introduction of the senior band members. Later that evening, at the Homecoming dance, the court was re-introduced during the lead-out. “I think each year the Home- coming Dance progressively gets better,” commented Senior Andy Ballard. Homecoming Queen, Sandra Sloan, displays her warm smile after being crowned Junior attendant, Lauren Colley, and Samford Colley pose on the football field after the game

What’s Going On In the World... For people from all over Alabama, the biggest game of the year is not the Sugar Bowl—it is the Iron Bowl. Alabama and Auburn enthusiasts gathered at Legion Field in Birmingham to root for their favorite team. The victor of the Iron Bowl has a full year to gloat over the win and this year’s winner was Auburn, 10-0. The World Series pitted the American League champ, the Minnesota Twins, against the National League victor, the St. Louis Cardinals. The Twins took the championship in a 4 to 3 series. The biggest drop in the stock market since the crash of 1929 had Wall Street in an uproar last fall. Many investors lost millions of dollars due to the crash, but the effect on the common consumer has not yet been felt. Prime Minister Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union and the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, had another summit. This meeting was held in the U.S. in Washington, D.C. and was highlighted by the signing of a interme- diate range missile treaty calling for the destruction of all such missiles. Closer to home, Montevallo exper- ienced a gas station explosion late last summer. Bubba’s, a popular convenient store in the Vallo Plaza, blew up when a car’s ignition sparked a fire in an open pump being serviced. Bubba’s remod- eled and reopened in the fail. President Reagan is enthusiastic about the upcom- ing summit and missile negotiations at a pre-sum- mit press conference After the fire was put out, the fire-fighters clear “-»m the pumps and assess damages.
