Facilities for the all-campus election of Queen and Man of the Year were set up in the dormitories and the University Center. The traditional bonfire and snake dance led by the cheerleaders and Golden Eagles made its way from Academic to the band field Thursday evening. Friday night, the selection of Gina Parker and Ed Batchelor as Queen and Man of the year was announced at Coronation ceremonies during the All-School Dance. Other members of the court included Denise Burford, Pam Diaz, Terri Fish and Robin Hess. Man of the Year candidates were Jeff Mentel, Paul D'Amico, Mitch Hill and Vinnie Schneider. The RCTC Color Guard and the Golden Eagles led the 102-unit parade down Broadway and Main on Saturday morning. Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Sigma Sigma shared first place honors for their Class I float. Alpha Kappa Psi captured second place and Parade Marshall Dr. Joe Low presented the fraternity with the parade marshal's trophy. In Class II competition, the Horticulture Club received first place.
