STEPHEN ANDERSON Welcome Home Hands Across the Shoals was a fitting theme for the university ' s homecoming celebration By Chrissie Shedd Hands Across the Shoals, was the theme for Homecoming, and the event gave the university an opportunity to reach out and welcome the alumni and the com- munity onto the campus. Last Spring, when we were deciding the theme, there was talk of emerging the two Chambers of Commerce [Lauderdale and Colbert Counties]. It seemed appropri- ate that Hands Across the Shoals should be the theme for Homecoming, said Director of Student Activities Bob Glenn. Homecoming started off with the bon- fire and pep rally held in front of the Mar- ried Student Housing, Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Homecoming events continued through Friday, starting with a school picnic, spon- sored by the Towers Cafeteria. Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato chips, coleslaw, and other picnic foods were served at the Amphitheater. Students and faculty enjoyed the picnic, sitting on benches surrounding the area. While lunch was being served, Dr. Wil- liam Foster, head of the English depart- ment, with his family entertained students and faculty with their bluegrass band at the Amphitheater. This Foster Family is the 8th and 9th generation of their clan to sing bluegrass music. The members of the band include Dr. William Foster; his wife, Ann Foster; their son, William Foster, Jr.; their daugh- ter, Melissa Foster Greene; and son-in-law, John Greene. The Foster Family entertained their audience with songs like, How Could You Believe Me, When 1 Said I Love You, When You Know I ' ve Been A Liar All My Life. The usual homecoming parade was replaced by the campus celebration held in front of the Student Union Building at 9:30 Saturday morning.

A SUNNY DAY is a perfect excuse for a picnic, especially on the day before Homecoming. A picnic lunch served in the amphitheater draws both students and faculty. With all the benches taken, the grass seems inviting to Dr. Thomas Thompson as he munches on hot dogs. 28
