HOMECOMING ' 87 The week of Homecoming is always full of opportunities for students to get involved, and this year was no excep- tion. The week began on Monday, Oc- tober 5, with the presentation of the Homecoming court and coronation of the Queen. On Tuesday, Ranger Week contests were held in the Union. Rang- er Day Relays consisted of three-legged races, playing volleyball with water bal- loons, and of course, the famous relay race. Thursday provided a carnival, cookout, pep rally, and a Homecoming dance with a 60 ' s theme. Finally, what the whole week had led to arrived . . . Homecoming Day. Sat- urday began with Senior Day for those high school students interested in Northwest. A parade, consisting of all maids and escorts, the band, cheer- leaders, Rangerettes, and any dorms that choose to participate, was the at- traction before the cheerleaders stole the show with their pep rally. Many alumni attended a luncheon and the game that followed. The crowd, com- posed of both young and old, cheered the Rangers to their victory over Mis- sissippi Delta Junior College with a final score of 47-20. — Karla Parks Becky Ainsworth, Paul Whalen, Rhonda DeFrees and Larry Chamberlain wave to the crowd during the parade before the game. ▼ ▲ Lish Trice (55) and JoJo Wright (10) stop Mississippi Delta ' s carrier. ▲ During the halftime ceremonies the crowd ' s attention covered the field. ▲ John McKay, Porter Casey, Stacey Cox, Robbie Beckett and Perry Arrington enjoy a few minutes on the bench while the defense takes over the field. 24
