Record crowds, entertainment and a Vandal victory made Homecoming the best of limes ain dampened the participants but not the spirit of Homecoming 1983. Using the theme The Best of Times, the university attempted to fill an October weekend with enough activities to satisfy the students, their parents, 150 alumni from the class of 1958, more than 100 visitors atten- ding the Alpha Gamma Delta 25th anniversary reunion, and 100 retur- ning athletes of the 1900 to 1940's era. Activities really began Wednesday night with the Bonfire pep rally sponsored by the homecoming com- mittee and the cheerleaders. The bon- fire has been a favorite event of homecoming participants for more than 50 years. In the past the rally was always held on Thursday night but the committee decided to try Wednesday night since there is usually a lighter classload for students on Thursdav, than there is on Friday. A post-homecoming evaluation showed there was an increase in attendance from the past years so the bon- fire may be moved to Wednesday per- manently. Students were presented with skits by sorority pledge classes and a special appearance of the Gault Ridge Bovs. The Gault Hall men won the skit competi- tion, with the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority in second place. The cheerleaders led the crowd in several cheers and the male cheerleaders even did their own dance routine. Friday, living groups put up colorful decora- tions outside their houses and halls and houses wallpapered the Kibbiedome with posters for the football team. But when morning Gault style.

Junior Miss con- testants and the homecoming court were hidden beneath umbrellas as they rode on the hoods of cars. Drill team members wore rain slickers as water dripped off their hair and trickled down their noses. Unsuspec- ting spectators were sprayed with water when saturated flag Rest in peace.

David Maxey, a UI graduate of '58 and Geo editor now residing in New York City, served as Grand Marshall. The homecoming festivities drew alumni from all corners of the country including Georgia, Maryland and Virginia.
