BLAZING ... (cont.) The other attendants were Su- san Kangas, Beth Hoyme, Kathy Sides, Kay Brinkman, Charles Cox, Mike Lang, Chandler Smith, and James Bailiff. After speeches from several football players, cheers from the cheerleaders, and the Homecoming crowning, there was a giant fireworks display, and the letters, TCU, were lit up in fire, all in accordance with the theme, “‘TCU, Up in Lights.”’ The theme could be considered one of the most important aspects of plan- ning Homecoming. This year’s theme was selected for the wide range of vari- ations that would tie in well with it. The theme also included an easy sub-divi- sion for Frog Follies, ‘Broadway Nights.’’ The theme was incorporated into everything from Original Spirit on Tuesday, to pomp signs, stadium ban- ners, and even the half-time show. The person who was in charge of this entire production called Homecoming, was Kurt Fegraeus, a senior Radio-TV- Film major at TCU. Kurt sums up the long week of activities by saying, “Overall | feel that Homecoming 1983 was quite successful. Nearly 4,600 people participated in one capacity or another. In all areas for which there was a first, second, and third place, the competition was very strong and groups were high quality.”’ One special highlight of the week was when Mayor Bob Bolen declared Wednesday Purple and White Day for all of Fort Worth. The long week of events culminated on Saturday with a football game against the Houston Cougars and an all-campus dance at the Mule Barns that night. The dance was quite successful, with 1,600 to 2,000 people in attendance. Homecoming 1983 was more than a football game. It was more than just parties and competitions. It was a time for TCU alumni to meet together once again. It was a week filled with work, spirit, school pride, and fun. Home- coming 1983 was a memorable exper- ience for many. 16 Homecoming Top: Several Kappas get rowdy at the Thursday night pep rally.
