PARENT ' S DAY Parent ' s Day gave moms and dads the chance to see the campus and meet the ad- ministration first hand. The day began at Sykes where different groups and depart- ments had displays. The rainy day and a loss to Millersville in football were disap- pointments, but spirits were picked up by a student talent show and a special dinner for parents and students. The highlight of the day was being served coffee by Presi- dent Dr. Ken Perrin as the guests waited for dinner.
