Homecoming Central Missouri State University (CMSU) Mules battled on the field. CMSG was a natural rival for us, head football coach, Vern Thomsen said. Students had friends at CMSCJ which created a natural Homecoming situation for us. Included in this chapter was half- time entertainment provided by the marching band, baton twirler, step- pers and flag corp. Special halftime at- traction was the performance of Terre McPheeters, a 1977 graduate. Mc- Pheeters, a successful song writer in Nashville, has published 20 songs. With the ending of halftime, the Mules and Bearcats were left battling for the victory. The Bearcats captured the win with an 18-10 final score. Contributing to this victory was Dan Anderson who was awarded the Don Black Memorial Trophy, an honor given to the most valuable player of the game. It was a great honor, Anderson said. I always saw other players receive it and I was kind of envious. I was proud of it. The Homecoming game ended hap- pily ever after with the afternoon stret- ching into dusk and the final event, the Homecoming dance, sponsored by campus radio station KDLX. Although this was the end of Once Upon a Time in Northwest, Homecom- ing lived on and students waited to be captured in another theme.
