Students Entertained Their Parents , 11- X . i- ,big e F TEES I Father Landry Genosky welcomed parents as they registered for Parents Weekend. The annual Parents Weekend, sponsored by the Student Senate, was a big success this year. With parents arriving Friday evening, a special welcoming committee presented the schedule of events planned for the weekend. Once parents were registered, a student talent show, which included an array of musical memories, skits, songs and dance routines, was held in the Starlite Terrace. The Quincy College Jazz Band provided music after the talent show, to close the evening. Saturday included a variety of lectures, sponsored by outer Hall, a student art exhibit, a female basketball game, a varsity tennis match, and a varsity baseball game. The proposed highlight of the weekend was the performance of the humorist, David Frye, and Young-Holt Unlimited Saturday evening. David Frye never made it, so the concert was all that was presented. After the concert, the Annual Parents Weekend Dance was held at the Starlite Terrace. Ben Bumbry and the Messengers pleased the whole crowd with their performance of both popular rock-and- roll music and the slower paced music of yesteryear. 58 Father Phil Hoebing visited with parents after registration
