RAPPING PROS? No, it’s just Eric Vandetta and John Polk from the soccer team, pumping up the crowd at the homecoming pep rally. I THINK I’LL HIDE. Kelly Fox covers her face as Greg Russell laughs at Las Vegas Night at the Dining Hall. A Demonstration Of Spirit . . . Before . . . Was it an omen? The Gulls were ahead by two touchdowns and a field goal, but suddenly the scoreboard went blank. The Bengals began scoring. The fans were left with a sitting on the edge of their seat excitement, an excitement that had actually begun at the start of the week. The students had been demonstrating all week just what a small college about to be a university could do. The SSC jazz band kicked off the festivities with a combined concert with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Even though the band was only a little over a year old, it’s 19 members performed pieces by such great composers as Everett Longstreth and the popular Harleme Nocturne by Earl Hagan. Button Day was another example of students demonstrating school spirit. Along with this, the SSPB sponsored the showing of Rocky IV in the Gull’s Nest Pub. On Thursday, paint flew along with school spirit, marking the beginning of the banner contest. Banners, with the masquerade theme, were displayed on nearly every building on campus. Later that evening, students tried their hand at pumkin carving. When the goo was cleared away, the winners were: Lisa Stier for most original, John McSweeney for scariest, Lisa Wilson and Debbie Knap for funniest and Michelle Moyer and Adele Black for best all around. The best outlet for spirit, next to the game, was the pep rally held in Maggs Gym. The cheerleaders, soccer team, and football team all lended their support to boast the spirit of the crowd. Each team performed a skit and Dr. Bellavance and Dr. Daily both gave pep talks. After the pep rally students filtered into The Ruth Powell Dining Hall for Las Vegas Night, in the tradition of the 1920’s. Students could hardly believe that $2.00 could buy $2,500 in fake cash . . . BUTTONS! The injured Donald Washington peddles his wares. Homecoming 13
