HOMECOMING 198 Fire engines, limousines . . , and the Rocky Mount Community Bank on a flatbed truck? Nothing unusual - just part of Wesleyan's first-ever Homecoming Parade. The parade was one of several additions to the annual Homecoming festivities in October. Almost all of the student organizations contributed to populate about 20 vehicles for a twice-over circuit of the campus. Three real-live fire engines, with lights flashing and sirens wailing, arrived from the Stony Creek Fire Department to help celebrate the special event. The Admissions Office showed up in fancy red convertibles. while the fraternities, sororities and other student organizations dressed up whatever cars were available. The cheerleaders copped the best- float award. The airbandflip synch contest also debuted during the Homecoming weekend. The contest attracted many strange individuals to the Garber Hall stage, iumping and gyrating and moving their lips to popular hit tunes. The novelty of the event drew a larger- than-expected crowd and caused one student to comment, I've never seen so many people at Wesleyan in one place. North Hall led but the rain won out at the Wild Sz Wacky Wesleyan Games. Refereed by an uncommonly good-looking lean Edge, the games pitted the four dorms against each other in contests of skill and accomplishment. Although North Hall led the contest after the three-legged run, the sack race and the balloon toss, rain fell and washed out the tricycle race. Traditional activities, such as the dance at the Elks Lodge and the pig pickin', tied the whole weekend together. G I ii' Pi Epsilon members Laura Stuis, Sonji Grant, Cindy Bovee and Daniel Wright show pride by entering their float in the Homecoming Parade. Ron Bove pauses for a picture at the Pig Pickin' during Homecoming.
