Wait Disney ' s creations came to life in the Wonderful World of Nor- thwest and Homecoming 1984. Filled with campus humor, comedy skits and musical enter- tainment, the Variety Show started off Homecoming ac- tivities and ran four nights. Masters of Ceremonies, Dan Conway and Mark Harris, told jokes and introduced acts during the show each night. The Variety Show started out unorganized on the first night, but it got better each night, Marcia Matt said. The crew working on the show organized it more as it went on. They filled the spaces that needed filling. Another part of Homecoming was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. Rhonda Hauptman was crowned Homecoming Queen Wednesday evening. Hauptman, a senior from Omaha, Neb., was sponsored by Phi Sigma Epsilon. I was really surprised, excited and nervous, Hauptman said. It was a big honor and it was neat being crowned Homecom- ing Queen my senior year. While some students con- sidered the crowning of Homecoming Queen the highlight of the week, most students looked forward to Walk-out Day. For many. Walk-out Day was spent working on floats and house decorations. Many hours of work with pomps, chicken wire and lumber went into the Disney theme house decora- tions.
