A BARK OF DISTINCTION The skits ' competition fin- als and the pep rally were also held on the same day as the parade. Preliminaries for the skits were held one week before Homecoming and were judged by three Athens school teachers. Missy Cor- dell, a junior finance pre law major and chairperson of the skit committee said, The skit presentations were great in ' 88 because of the in- creased student participa- tion. The winners of the skit competition finals were: for Classic League, Alpha Gamma Delta and Phi Kap- pa Psi; for Olympic League, Creswell Community; for Athena League, Baptist Stu- dent Union. The day before the foot- ball game, Vince Dooley got the spirit moving at the pep rally on Legion Field. After this pep talk and the intro- duction of the Homecoming court, awards were presented to the winners of each divi- sion in the following catego- ries: Superdance, window painting, skit finals, banner competition, and parade float competition. Finally, the Homecoming festivities came to an end with the football game be- tween our Bulldogs and the Indians, the crowning of Miss Homecoming, the an- nouncement of the overall winners of each competing division, and the celebration of Franco-Georgia Day. Dur- ing halftime, Susan Golden, sponsored by BSU, was crowned Miss Homecoming. The overall winners were: for Classic League, Delta Gam- ma and Beta Theta Pi; for Athena League, Wesley Foundation; and for Olympic League, Reed Community. Also, President Knapp hon- ored the diplomats from France, Richard Tardits, a native Frenchman who plays for the Bulldogs, and Mr. and Mrs. Tardits to recog- nize the friendly relations between France and Georgia. To sum up, Georgia House, a member of the ACHC, said, The traditional Homecom- ing week once again gave our student body a chance to show how spirited and uni- fied we are. The students ' participation is definitely what made Homecoming 1988 a tremendous success. ■■■ : :;
